Don’t use it as slang for cowardice unless you consider women and specifically childbirth to be cowardly (in which case you should probably watch a woman give birth...) A woman did that so you could live and it was brave as hell.

Yikes! The conflation of social class with misogynistic attitudes towards women, vulvas, and the word pussy is an incredibly, burningly hot take on multi-millionaire heir-to-millions Donald Trump’s “pussy” comments. Maybe consider that misogyny isn’t especially a product of working-class culture?

Not to be confrontational, but you really should. Is it wimpy to create human life through enormous pain and effort? Pussy is 100% the worst metaphor for weakness patriarchy ever dreamt up.

I think we’re all in The Bad Place.

Do you ever get the feeling that we must have all died at some point over the past three years and this is, well, hell?

Teaching the Miller’s Tale today and got to the part where Nicholas goes up to Alison and “grabs her by the quim” and my students didn’t snicker as they have in previous years. They were instantly ticked off and said “creep” and “like Trump” and laughed and continued. I have a room full of young adults who view sexual…

It was really brave of Bambadjan Bamba to speak publicly about his immigration status. I hope he doesn’t face any negative consequences for it.

I stopped watching Today after they fired Curry. They treated her like shit.

Ann Curry is a lot classier than me. Just a couple of Gifs on what my response to Lauer would be if I were her.

She’s a good reporter. I always thought she was too much of a newshound to fit into the morning news anchor chair—not that I thought she couldn’t have done it, just that it was a waste of her talent to make her do cooking segments. It was awful to see what Lauer and Co. did to her. I hope she is getting nicely…

It’s as though the patriarchy has been gaslighting us... for centuries!

I see Roker more as a “mind if I masturbate on the houseplant” douche over the rapey kind.

Reenactment of Curry “processing” the Lauer firing:

man how many Barack Obamas do you think we get for every Matt Lauer/Harvey Weinstein/Bill O’Reilly/whichever-the-fuck-troglodytic-troll-is-next? I’d bet like 1:100, at least. THE MATH JUST DOESN’T WORK OUT.

Matt fucking Lauer. This fucking dirtbag is just one more example of structural media misogyny. His treatment of women isn’t a “behind closed doors” problem that only affected the poor employees he harassed, bullied and exploited. Does anyone else remember the sexist shitshow of presidential debate that Lauer…

They always fuck it up. Men are irrational and simply can’t be trusted. Remove them all from power.

How fucking gross and awful. The lesson for everyone: never give men power.

It sounds like rhubarb pie might’ve been involved.

If only he had a platform to tell his side of the story, perhaps in a wispy nostalgic tone, while taking loud breaths into a microphone.

“It’s been a gropey week here in Lake Wobegon...”
