I think we feel uncomfortable about the word "woman" because we're taught that our attractiveness withers and dies after the age of 22 when, like an apple falling from the tree, we sit on the grass withering and rotting until winter comes and destroys us completely.

The Fedoration of Males?

Parents do not own their children. That's just a really weird and disturbing way of looking at parenthood. It's also not all that backed up by law or logic. I can sell my tv on Craigslist and yet those who have tried to do the same with children have found that the law frowns upon it and will put them in jail for it.

Stop giving phones to your stupid kids. Stop giving them their own private computers. Stop not giving a shit about what they do online. And for fucks sake, talk to them about sex and relationships, not to mention THE FUCKING LAW!!!

THIS. Get the fuck over and move the fuck on. No one wants to hear about how bitter you still are all these years later, even if you pretend to be over it (you're not, you wouldn't feel compelled to write a letter if you were). Trust me, not even your closest friends want to hear that story again. And guess what?

How about just moving the fuck along? Unless someone maimed you, killed you or ruined your credit, just forget about it.

The death penalty is by far our most outdated and barbaric practice. If you have spent any time outside of the US, you'll find that non-Americans point to it's continued use as proof of the sadism we allow to persist in our culture. It's disgusting. It's revolting. I don't care how awful someone is, how deserving of

I'm grateful (and not being sarcastic) to have been raised by a very bitchy mother who never once in my recollection told me to "be nice". If you give me a weird feeling, I'm walking away. I also inherited a complete disregard for being called a cunt or a bitch.

I think it's different coming at it from the perspective of a fellow performer rather than simply an audience member. You know how much work people put into it even when it sucks. You know how hard it is to deal with the criticism even when the criticism is deserved. Some of the people you're publicly mocking are your

I think he's in for a surprise, because a really sizable portion of women in my general age group had a crush on the Robin Hood who was literally and figuratively a fox.

To be fair though it's still a step above being way to into Hemmingway.

People who snidely correct your use of the English language, doubly so when they're actually wrong. Anyone who mocks your childhood crushes.

But even if you ignore them they stab you!

"Your swearing is very unladylike?" Motherfucker. I once spent about 13 months co-located with a bunch of Army officers for my job. That was thirteen years ago, and I still to this day use the eff word like a comma. My husband does not care but prefers I tone it down around the kids, lest our son confront a daycare

Upwards of 3 is unacceptable? I've had days where I've done worse.

Sometimes when I'm walking on the sidewalk with my female friends we'll see something shiny in the street and run out into traffic to get a better look. I've lost so many friends that way. (And it's usually a gum wrapper.)

bahahahaha This is amazing. It looks like they took one test photo to make sure the lighting was right, and then were like, "OK, that's a wrap!"
