You know, those types of comments are really about fear and validation. It’s how they did it, and if they admit that any other way than their way is good, it invalidates them. You can empathize on one level because women are so damned invalidated all the time. The fear comes in because if they give up their belief…

Not to excuse or downplay sexism in Tech or Finance, but these are the kinds of stories I really, REALLY would like to see more of in women’s spaces and for feminists to grapple with. I get that its hard being a woman making $100k a year in a job where a man makes $129k, and that it really sucks when some bros want to…

I, as a snake living in the online gossip pit Jezebel and commenting with an alarming frequency while I should be doing work, would just like to say there’s nowhere I’d rather be.

Orrrrrr, you could use your teeny, tiny brain and try using the context to understand the unfamiliar words! Sometimes, a word like “recycle” has more than one meaning! But if you think about it for .3 seconds, you might, perhaps, MAYBE come up with the correct definition for this particular usage!

Every word of her testimony has been so heartbreaking, and so compelling. She so bravely and clearly articulates the confusion and the power dynamics at play, all the while making it absolutely clear where and when he crossed the line. I don’t think there’s a woman alive who could read what she’s said and not see one…

I’m not “bringing race into” anything. If I had said that white people were the only ones at fault for fondling the wax figure you might have a case, but I didn’t, so I don’t really see your point. Other black women misbehaving doesn’t negate the fact that the wax figure reproduces negative and harmful images of black…

Love it.

Starbucks guy just set me off. I work (for over a year oh my god how/why) at a...rival coffee place also well known for their donuts (listen, I still work there so no name (yet)). The only reason I’m still sane is I severed the tendon on my thumb attempting to open a tub of hot fudge with an old fashioned can opener…

We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

This is a former governor and Fox television host. He’s not making some crazy rant on the internet. He is the Republican party. He is not a moron. He is a cruel, calculating man in a position of power.

I’ve always liked Rosie myself and found her quite funny. I think the fact that she speaks her mind, is loud, is gay and is perhaps not conventionally attractive makes her a lightning rod for misogynist hatred.

Except that cops ARE responsible for each other’s behavior. Cops train each other. They have partners that they’re always working with. They have an internal affairs office. The officer who threw that 14-year-old girl to the ground and pointed his gun at children in Texas was responsible for training new police -…

And now you know why conservatives have fought so hard to label it “political correctness”. I will continue to label it “not being a shitty fucking bigoted human being”.

They don’t consider girls to be people so that’s a nonstarter.

I’m sub 28 and I don’t really give a shit! A bit of a trim occasionally, and maybe neaten the bikini line a little if I’m in a bikini. But recently even that’s been a little lazy. I figure people who are offended by pubes are people I want to punish by exposing them.

Such a good metaphor.

I am always amazed that people can be that dumb and still manage to feed themselves successfully on a vegan diet. Like, how do they not just die from eating nothing but lettuce? I feel like you have to be intelligent to manage a balanced vegan diet. At the very least intelligent enough to understand that carnivores…

I have a slightly different opinion than that women are ticking time bombs of insecurity ready to twist compliments into a source of anger... I do not mind nice respectful comments about something I am wearing. Even if I don’t feel confident, I still like compliments. But there is a huge range in difference for how a…

Staring at you whacking it 15 feet back or so?
