Right. Because men aren’t getting deals for wearing the right clothes?

I feel you! I was getting a haircut today, and there was an incredibly cute guy getting his hair cut two chairs down, and I just instantly had this “Girl, don’t even. It never works” and even though I hadn’t been considering hitting on this guy, I just felt like such a sad, lonely loser. For what it’s worth, you are…

Sob story (kinda, for me anyway) warning.

I’m guilty of abusing “just.” All the time. Every email. Sometimes, I have to go back through and edit emails and take out a bunch of “justs” so that there are only 2 or 3 left. I’m conscious of it, and I hate it, but it’s totally ingrained. I feel like a total raging bitch if I don’t use it.

My first boyfriend broke up with me by ghosting. It was freshman year of college, we dated for 4 months, and I look back and shrug but at the time I was super hurt by it. But what I always wonder is - what did he think would happen? I mean, we weren’t just “hooking up” or whatever, we had had the talk and very much…

Female here. That's all I heard in this too. MY RING. MY RING. I'M GETTING MARRIED. POOR ME. MY RING. MY RING. DID I TELL YOU I GOT A RING? SOMEONE IS MARRYING ME. HEHE. I'LL MAKE JOKES TO SEEM RELATABLE BUT REALLY LOOK AT MY RING.

“Used to hanging back during “single talk” unless my insights are explicitly welcomed in.” BOO FUCKING HOO.

I love you for summing up perfectly what I was feeling, without even realizing what I was feeling. On behalf of all cat lady spinsters, Shut the fuck up, author. Please.

This is the longest humblebrag I’ve read in a while.

I’m not joking either. Liberals in this country need to man the fuck up and stop tolerating fucking nonsense like the speech the SC governor made. Americans are obsessed with symbolism and cowards when it comes to actual....uhm, I dunno, action?

Uh huh, then maybe you should take your gospel of nonviolence to the white supremacists/cops who are actually out here doing the murdering, you disingenuous dick sneeze

So you’re against violent retribution by the oppressed. A valid position, but one that keeps that group in a subservient position and allows the white majority to get away with more killings.

It's also very helpful to the dominant white group, because it stifles the desire for revenge and revolution.

Oh it’s talked about, but it’s just painted in the form of a book or movie about a dude’s fucked-up relationship with his father and how he goes on a deep, spiritual journey in order to reconcile the emotional trauma it caused him because like you said, we’re supposed to believe that men are strong and us ladies are…

Yep, and it’s such a throwaway for any time a woman dares to lay down expectations for a man. As in, since we are in a relationship, when I text you, I expect a response within a reasonable timeframe. Asshole guy’s response: geez, back up with your clingy shit—what, do you have daddy issues?!?

Saying a woman or girl has “daddy issues” is fucking wretched. If she has daddy issues, shouldn’t the hate be directed at, you know, her god damned father? How is his disgusting and damaging fuckery her fault?

Or maybe it’s because he’s a gifted actor and a visionary film maker. Just ask him.

That platitude always drives me a little bit crazy. It smacks of condescension. Some people actually never do meet the lid to their pot. Some are OK with this. Others are lonely. This is a fact. Not everyone has this happily ever after fairytale.

Okay I see this frequently; “I’m fat/frumpy and men love me!” Is it possible that while you are X trait that is often grouped into the overhead of “ugly,” you aren’t actually ugly just because you’re X? Going with that logic, is it also possible that someone can actually be ugly and NOT able to attract men, and also…

So true. Assuming tall women are stronger reinforces the idea that tall women are somehow more masculine.
