Meanwhile, Studio Ghibli does this.

Stop with that!

It would be interesting to do a study of whether more women are enraged by the phrase "calm down" than men.

Even if I am getting a little agitated, "calm down" STILL drives me crazy and pushes me over the edge. Just let me have my two minutes of rage, and then I am over it. My temper is a gas stove — turns on and off easily. I do not need to calm down. I need see red and then move on!

Nothing sends me into a rage faster than being told to "calm down" when I was already speaking normally. WHO'S CALM NOW, BUTTFACE?

Title: Extremely Unlikely Scenario

You should have added a Trigger Warning for those of us who hear "Calm down!!" and immediately fly into rage.

By "leaping into problem-solving mode too quickly" do they actually mean "waving away actual issues with a glib mansplanation that they assume will solve everything?"

I suppose if I object to anything here it just shows that I don't calm down quickly enough and that proves his point?

Ahahaha. That's what cracks me up about cat callers too. What do they think you are going to say when they yell "Hey sexy suck my dick!" at you out of a moving car?!

Um, like the sidewalk? Or the subway? Or my own neighborhood park? Or the laundromat? Or while working out at the gym? Or while on the phone with my mom? Because I've been hit on in all of those places.

I think it's supposed to represent the butthurt Nice Guy theme of "women only think unattractive men are 'creepy,' if that guy was hot/rich/alpha, the word 'creepy' would never be uttered." These are usually the same guys who say "no fatties, I hate when some ham planet bitch tries to act like she's hot" in the very…

Oh, its just a painting from a fairly obscure German painter and animal lover. Maybe you heard of him, his name is Adolf "Hussain" Hitler!

KNOW WHO ELSE LIKED TO PAINT!?

Ugh, I fucking hate that. My favorite is when men *actually wait for my date to leave* and try to swoop in. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Of course you're not an asshole!

My boss is like this: so obsessed with being "positive" that he can't keep his business from falling into bankruptcy. That would require planning and discipline, both of which are grinds, i.e. "not positive." Ugh.

It is not just you. People who are hell-bent on everything being idyllic are the worst; you can't ever just bitch around them (and definitely not about them), and all problems must have an easy, obviously, and immediate solution, or they just ignore it. It's basically impossible to deal with larger structural issues,…

Is it just my crippling cynicism, or are "positive" types the most obnoxiously anti-fun people ever? Bacon and eggs for breakfast? No, you must have a kale smoothy. Go out for a drink? No, alcohol has toxins. Mock the annoying neighbor waving crystals over her Echinacea plants? No, all viewpoints are valid.
