Thank you! Women have enough shit on their plates. Men need to teach other men to identify and appropriately manage negative emotions. Men need to call other men out and not shrug it off when they express hateful, violent, or just plain asinine garbage.  Patriarchy hurts men too and this one is their battle.

Thanks for bringing this up! I really enjoy evolutionary biology which is actually based on science. Evolutionary psychology is a whole other discipline that uses lazy methods to make sweeping generalizations that are often used to “justify” sexism and racism. Many of those studies can easily be debunked.

Any time someone uses evolutionary psychology as the crux of their argument you know they are full of bullshit. This guy is an imbecile.

Agreed, although, most men get to blissfully have sex without knowing they have HPV until their female partner has issues (and tells them about it). Most dudes (pre-Gardasil development, and let’s face it, even post) don’t seem to even know what it is due to this blindspot. But HIV, FFS. Everyone freaking knows what…

THIS. I try to see female doctors when possible and will never see a male gynecologist.

It’s not a decision to take lightly. You do whatever works for you. You aren’t a “bad feminist” either way. I’m planning to keep mine because 1) easier to spell, 2) I prefer my own name, and 3) career implications (particularly already published work).

Agreed, and they proudly bring it up like they deserve a f-ing medal for doing the absolute bare minimum.

At least the ridiculous DARE PSAs supposedly depicting the dangers of “tripping” were amusing. This is just boring AF.

Ah, yes, the harmless psychological fun of torture... *smacks head against wall*

Even more depressing: it look a man calling attention to it (dozens of women alone wasn’t enough apparently). *Sigh*

I imagine it will be a statue of a man smugly shaming a woman for making a delicate decision about her body that he has no business even having an opinion on...

This comment 100%.

So sorry and I can totally relate. My father pulled that same shit whenever I had a mental health episode in my teens. Dude has major unresolved issues but I guess denial is bliss...

Yeah, the logistics of an “afterlife” seem pretty ridiculous and fun to consider. What happens when you marry, your spouse dies, and you later remarry? In the afterlife, is that second spouse a third wheel or does it all turn into some blessed polyamorous situation? Wouldn’t that be awkward AF?

These morons...

The Middleditch Verizon commericals are the absolute worst.

“We’re in this watershed moment, and it’s great, but I think one thing that’s not being talked about is there are a whole shitload of guys—the preponderance of men I’ve worked with — who don’t do this kind of thing ...”

Prairie Home Companion is awful. This just adds to my disdain for Garrison Keillor.
