For sure - maybe context helps here, but I would not be cool with that.

Thor/anyone.

Also, any time I see/hear parents getting mad that their kid has condoms I am SO CONFUSED. Like, you bad bad kid, trying to be responsible about your sex.

What the heck is wrong with people sometimes, seriously.

Ugh that is AWFUL.

Ugh I would be horrified to find out my mother read my diary - and I was a very boring teenager. It would still be terrible.

My husband pronounces “moot point” as “mute point” and responds in exactly the same way. No dear, that is NOT what you just said.

My mother in law does that one and it stresses me out. She also makes it a possessive. Chi-POLE-tee’s.

I personally thing that Tim Horton’s coffee tastes like brewed dirt. Weak brewed dirt.

All of this, 100%

Maybe it’s a good thing I am never having children, because it would never occur to me to check my child’s text messages! Now I am paranoid that my parents dug around in my personal life when I was a teenager, which is terrifying. (No text messages, I’m too old, but still.) Everyone needs some privacy, even teenagers.…

Yeah, I never did in high school either, but I also went to school in farmland and was sort of a dork. I have memories of people talking about parties in corn fields, I just never went to them (I wasn’t even like, social outcast girl. I actually have no idea why I wasn’t invited. Maybe because everyone knew I wouldn’t…

I feel like this is the appropriate parental action! Also regarding sex - I have no children so I have no idea, but I feel like I would far prefer my kids be able to ask me about things or tell me if they are in trouble than to hide it. (I have a cousin of some distance who is much younger than me. She told her mom…

My father used to get really subtly happy when I confessed to my partying in college. I had been a very well-behaved, quiet and shy high schooler, so I think he thought I was being normal.

Oh same, for sure. I don’t stray away from it.

I have NO IDEA. Like, it’s blood. And we’re used to it. It’s not like dudes don’t do some gross things themselves. (Ok I have ideas but they are all based in the patriarchy and the othering of women and mostly it makes me mad).

Do men product mice and spiders out of their bodies?

Exactly! Had someone responded like that to a comment, in any of the many situations like this, it wouldn’t be bad! It would be a sign of a person learning, even if it would be far better if that weren’t necessary at all. It looks like the blogger is doubling down and that is annoying.

If there is a Standard Internet Argument that I hate (Ok, I hate most of them) it is “gosh you can’t say anything online anymore.” Besides the fact that it is so often combined with some jokey word - “interwebs” - to suggest that the internet is not the real world, it just feels like an extension of the idea that you…

Yeah I looked at those and thought “I would like like a tall sausage and would feel like I was trapped in denim hell.” But not everyone is me.
