Sometimes you do what you gotta do.

No. I do not co-sign.

Well this is taking places in Texas and I know several women who will be attending these screenings and they all have concealed carry licenses so...

My favorite bit is from the end:

I am writing to alert you that your email account has been hacked by an unfortunate and unusually hostile individual. Please remedy your account’s security right away, lest this person’s uninformed and sexist rantings give you a bad name. After all, we men have to look out for each other!

Tangent but opportunity to vent: In 2001 I was on a first date — a confident, successful, and very heavy woman with a smart, attractive man at my side — when the trailer for Shallow Hal appeared on the screen. A couple minutes of people almost gagging at the idea of a (heavy, sloppy) guy falling for a fat girl,…

To me, her only likeable manifestation has been Margot Tennenbaum.

Let’s put “very attractive” in finger quotes.

She’s the Ivanka Trump of Hollywood as far as I’m concerned: privileged and clueless.

and the kicker “I’m not saying I’m attractive. I mean when you’re considered attractive.”

Why is she so desperate to be seen as just a normal person? You aren’t a normal person. You spend $600 on a t-shirt; I buy my t-shirts for $2 at Forever 21.

“Women, in general, get a lot of pushback, especially if you’re successful and attractive.”

Right. Just like “like” which can abstractly signal a less literal mode of assertion. He was like: You have got to be effing kidding me, does not necessarily translate to he said those very words but that his entire mien or demeanor expressed it.

That’s not how you spell “misogyny”, friend, but given your slippery grasp of grammar and punctuation, we’re not surprised by the error.

they now know that you lack even a basic understanding of what you’re talking about.

I’d say that a slightly different interpretation could also be valid : uptalk not necessarily functioning as a demand for attention or agreement, but as a signal that says “I’m seeking your empathy and understanding of what I’m talking about, and I’m crediting you with the ability and/or willingness to give it.”…

Not much. What’s up with you?

WHAT’S UPDOG???????

Solid advice on uptalk, but I find updog more useful in most situations.
