Did she ever send a follow up text: “Achievement Unlocked!”?

Aggressive Blowjob is my new punk band name!

If you read something as anodyne as “men should be able to express their feelings” as a personal attack, then you’re part of the problem. 

Thanks for this insight. I’m 38, and the only one of my friends single, never married, and childless. I have always wanted those things, but I also never met anyone worth the compromise and I’m not well off enough to have a child by myself. I know my best friends pity me even if they aren’t happy in their own…

lol - nice! In my college days I had a pixie cut, because I just couldn’t be bothered to do my hair. I had two semi-serious relationships back then and both guys would always whine about my hair. Or drop not-so-subtle hints that they liked long hair. 

Nearing 50 and I wouldn’t be interested him anyway. In fact, after 18 years of marriage, if I were to divorce and be single again I wouldn’t be interested in ANY man. I would be far more interested in doing whatever the hell I wanted to do, answering to no one, and most importantly, only taking care of myself. If I…

A white guy with a fetish for young asian women.

I’ve known guys like him, he probably does think his opinions on women’s bodies, and what constitutes the right kind of body, are extremely fascinating to everyone he meets. 

I remember seeing the headline for this somewhere else and saying “I bet he pervs hard on Asians.” AND SURE ENOUGH:

My point is that she’s going to be irrationally attacked just for being who she is; she knows this, and also knows that her best defense is to just be more mature and evolved than the reactionaries attacking her. Do you understand how metaphors work?

She’s like the Jackie Robinson of American politics right now. Not merely qualified, but operating on a whole other level. She knows she’ll be taking shots from both sides of our establishment, and she’s so far responded to each by just turning on the awesomeness.

You’ll notice conservatives always intentionally misinterpret stuff like that because they know their base doesn't know any better. Like when they talk about the First Amendment 

Neither Trump nor Hillary Clinton would be in office.

You might take a second look at your ageist implicit bias.

Yes, he’s intentionally misleading his base, a basic GOP strategy. They have their ignorant fool voters thinking that everything the Dems say is a lie. Many of them will even believe stories about child sex rings in pizzerias.

Indeed. Noam Chomsky once clarified that he never counseled “speak truth to power.” Those in power know the truth. Quite simply, they are deliberately manipulating facts in order to sow confusion and disarray among the rest of the population.

Sort of the same way Trump says that better trade deals with Mexico are somehow going to create money for the US Treasury and “pay for the wall” when in fact trade policies impact the income of private companies, not the US government. Or when he says the US Treasury is collecting billions of dollars from China…

What I like about AOC is she is genuine and she is not here for any condescending shit from Old White Men™. She has priorities and ideas and you don’t a sense that she’s trying to come off as the world’s greatest expert on every issue...just that she knows what the problems are and that we need to get working on new…

That marginalized tax rate point is the core one to me. Don’t get me wrong, I assume Scalise knows exactly how the tax rate actually works, but is intentionally misleading the discussion because he knows that a lot of people don’t.

I love that she has the guts to clap back at these blowhards but is doing it in a way that is not calling them liars, sexists or alarmists, but by basically calling them idiots and making them prove their knowledge. I don’t think a lot of our politicians really know their stuff when it comes to constitutional law, tax…
