Looks like we had the EXACT same experience only you summarized yours in a beautiful little haiku. Well done.

Jezebel is literally the only place I ever make comments on, because it’s generally a safe place where people don’t pick weird fights and tear each other down. Generally. Because nowhere is truly safe.

I work at the front desk of a business and this one client comes every Friday and always calls me “kid.” I look young but not THAT young and it mostly just feels like soft sexism masquerading as cutesy. Not knowing my name after dozens of visits is not an excuse. I want to call him “old guy” but that probably wouldn’t…

I’m sorry, but this is so fucked up. There should absolutely not be a red circle with a line through it over the diamond ring when there is ALREADY the word “no” in front of it. That pretty much makes it a double negative. So in the end the message is “No hymen? diamond.”

I wish I had seen the call for these stories.

You are absolutely right - thank you for pointing this out.

It’s okay to not want to trade your mental health for a job

LOVE THIS.

Talk about the dangers of a reactionary-slash-biased media!

Love what you’re saying about the problematic use of gendered terms here!

My partner of 5 years is a chef. I know, #blessed. We met senior year of college and every Thursday I’d go to his place and he’d make an incredible dinner and we’d bone the night away.
