It sucks because even though I’m a turbo-atheist, I’ve known so many men and women of faith who are gracious, generous, just basically wonderful people who are supported and motivated by their faith to perform daily acts of kindness. And then you have these dickwads using faith to say rape is not only okay, but your

Right? This shit hurts both men and women. When I read crap like this I always feel both horrified for myself and other women, and insulted on behalf of not-shitty dudes.

One of the women I knew in Graf school has a husband like that. No weird ‘ethnic’ food, only bland sandwiches and processed chicken. The only kind of pizza he ate was plain cheese. No pepperoni for god’s sake. She just treated it like an amusing foible while the rest of us attempted to keep our expressions from

Yeah, I kind of drifted into a job I mostly like that doesn’t pay much, but is with a company that seems to give a shit about its employees. It’s not a glam career - in fact it’s retail - but I find myself giving less and less of a shit as I watch my friends bang their heads against various walls in corporations and

I can sing several verses of Amazing Grace because my best friend had a zealot-y phase growing up and taught them to me. But my raised-atheist little ass just thought it was a pretty song about an actual woman named Grace who went around helping people. She seemed nice.

You look dazed and tired and in love. So, perfect.

Yeah, that tipped the scales in my mind from ‘ugh this guy needs to be prosecuted’ to ‘... Mob justice?’

I am reminded of great words of wisdom from a modern bard:

At least it means that short hair is a good douche filter.

I think it's possible that the ridiculous child told her parents that she'd been bullied by the poster to excuse her behavior. Maybe they thought they were keeping a bully away? I mean, probably not, but I like to think most people aren't that shitty.

Huckabee is the worst one to me. Trump is either a light weight ego-driven blowhard or he’s playing a cynical long game to get money and attention - I suspect it’s a little of column A and a little of column B.

Right? I really want that to be true, because it's super cute.

She and Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie were all best buds in college, and ohhhh my goooood I want to be in a crime fighting team with them where we stop villains with witty remarks and an encyclopedic knowledge of the Classics

It makes me real damn angry. We have an Italian greyhound who was rescued from a puppy mill. He’s a sweetie and I love him, but damn it he probably shouldn’t exist. He has a lot of problems which are in no way his fault but make me want to punch someone.

All I care about is that boxer’s face.

Hahaaa, suck it, culinary industry!

My husband took my last name, which is awesome. The only problem is that now everyone we newly meet just assumes I took his name. And then I have to be all awkwardly insistent about it, like a newly-minted vegan.

I dunno, it sounds like being him is punishment enough.

She actually had a classy-as-fuck response on Twitter:

Maybe stop being so dismissive about real problems women face? Yeah, we have ‘tall people problems’, ranging from the relatively mundane (never being able to find clothes that fit), to the more dire: feeling ostracized and awkward and eventually changing one’s personality to ‘take up less space’. Which definitely
