TruthToldByWoman: The word "females" is only used these days by sexists. And people discussing animal biology. But mostly sexists.

It's because it's totally dehumanizing. We usually use the term "female" to refer to animals, not human beings. It makes the fact of a person's femaleness more important that the fact of their humanity. It also lends a false air of objectivity and science to a lot of incredibly fucked-up ideas about how women

Using "females" in the hashtag is the first clue this isn't going to go well. I have found that, in general, if someone refers to women as "females", they are about to unload a stream of misogynistic BS.

Oh, you forgot to mention, the tweet that said "I've only been with like one guy" was accompanied by a picture of a cave. A fucking cave. What a perfect way to illustrate WHY women will lie about the number of partners they've had. When one has to deal with the absurd myth that more sex = stretched-out, broken

Ahhh, "females." My favorite dehumanizing term for women. Whenever I hear that in real life, I ask "Female what? Squid? Groundhog? Oak tree?"

I thought the improv one was funny. Improv sucks.

They don't want to admit the real lies we tell them:

You're so good in bed#liestoldbyfemales

Of course you're not small#liestoldbyfemales

I don't mind doing the dishes again, really #liestoldbyfemales

#LiesToldByMales: "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

I'd like to point out that not a single African American won an award. Lupita is just an African and Steve McQueen and Chiwetel Ejiofor are Black British (or Afro-Caribbean if you will).

Also, I wanted to loudly heckle the real life Philomena.

Thank you for this. I was really annoyed by that piece but didn't have the mental energy to work out exactly why and how. You did the hard work for me! Since Gottlieb's all about anecdotes, here's one for her: my wife and I strive for and mostly achieve equality in household chores, and we have an awesome sex life. I

"I have listened to you and figured out a solution rather then sulking and stomping off, because I am an adult." BOOM, LADYBONER RESTORED.

The part about her being a therapist terrifies me. That poor woman in the anecdote about vacuuming; she probably now thinks that there's something wrong with her expectations because of the therapist's lack of speaking, and not something wrong with the logic that her husband used.

If I feel taken for granted, it's just not there. It's not a revenge thing, but a need to be treated like a human being, not the maid/mom combo.

Yeah, this is a stress thing, not a sex or household chore thing. Adult lives are busy and things that need to get done don't magically disappear because you're horny.

I don't know about anyone else, but I am way more ready to fuck when my partner has helped with the housework. If everything's a mess, I end up stressing and can't enjoy the sex as much.

I think it's a bit presumptuous to say that this is how "most guys" will see it. Are you the official spokesperson for "most guys"?

Him: So if I got out the vacuum, then you'd be turned on?

I agree, and those men are the wooooorrsssst.

The husband who won't do the sex act his wife wants is suffering from that Madonna/Whore complex bullshit. Unequal as hell.
