Bringing new meaning to "shutting that whole thing down"!

You know, I am truly astonished by the number of times my uterus has brought the United States Government to its knees in the last 5 years or so. Like, I thought its baby-growing capabilities were pretty neat, but damn, my lady bits are hella badass.

The men who complain about stuff like that often seem to harbor a whole lot of resentment and anger towards women themselves. Especially if the women in question want to be treated like actual human beings, rather than a herd of docile lady-cattle who serve the sole purpose of molding themselves into whatever this guy…

It seems to me that with many of the men who are out to find specifically a foreign wife, it's not so much about the women's subservience as it is about their dependence - it's about control. To such men a "normal" heterosexual relationship is one where the man holds all the power and in a country where most women are…

When I read why he wanted a specific age group because of this or the other, all I could digest was he didn't want someone who'd been with a lot of men "clubbing" so he wouldn't have to impress her nor raise another man's child if she'd already had children before. Because this is exactly what men my age (mid 30s)…

Men who complain of women "harboring 'a fair amount of bitterness and anger' towards men" are always the last to realise that the women they meet may be resentful of them because they are horrible human beings.

One thing I have learned in my many decades of dating - if a man tells you that you're great because you're not like "all the others," RUN. RUN FAST. RUN FAR. Because at that point, you're about 6 weeks away from being "just like the others." Then, in his mind, you'll deserve whatever kind of shitty treatment he…

Oh God. Years ago, when my husband and I were completing the process of bringing him to the US so we could get married, I used to frequent this fiance/marriage visa support forum. We'd talk about a variety of topics, including immigration procedures, etc. The forum was divided by region and I mostly stuck to the…

I love the idea that a man who is sick of the supposed shallowness of American women has no problem searching for a buy-a-bride based on a set of rigid and antiquated feminine ideals without the slightest sense of irony.

There are a lot of squicky things in this world involving male/female power dynamics... but I can't think of any that squick me out more than men who "purchase" brides from overseas. I always find myself gunning for these women to get their green cards and get the hell outta Dodge.

Speaking from experience, it can make you lose lots of respect for your father, if you had any to begin with.

With every post about a man looking for the perfect (AKA made up in their own mind) wife online or elsewhere, my views on marriage becomes more and more like this:

I've seen Law and Order SVU enough times to know how this will play out.

Mine too, the little peeping tomcat.

My cat's litter box is in the bathroom and he loves pooping when I'm in the shower. The humidity traps the smell and envelops you in it.

There's something really disturbing about thinking of these kinds of situations as examples of "mutual respect."

Any marriage where you feel weird about pooping in your own house is not a strong one.

Oh, Melissa. Self-awareness: You're doing it wrong. Like, really, really, really wrong.

If were to imagine, just for a second, that this dude was serious, here would be my response:

Do you realize that if you subscribe to that philosophy you are committing a very unique form of animal racism?
