nothing makes men angrier than a fat feminist who loves herself.

I never started because I am just too damn lazy.

Nobody is actively recommending weight gain. It’s a joking hyperbole. And people don’t typically “choose” to occupy a zone of humanity wherein they’re mocked, dehumanized, hated, ostracized, and made to feel disgusting constantly. It’s a crazy fucking brand of feminism to objectify women based on their size, and to…

Try getting old. I am 58 and my new superpower is that I am invisible to men under 80 as well as to a surprising number of women.

I find that I can just piss men off by knowing things they don’t understand. Basically just the way I live my life pisses off certain men. Lucky for me it’s the type of men I’d not want to be bothered with anyway. But, no, I am not going to act dumb or incapable of doing things just for some dude’s benefit.

I thought I hated the invisibility. Now that I’m losing weight I want it back. I’d rather be invisible (and healthy and fit) than feel like I do now: which is like an object and a toy.

my god I did the same thing a few years back, and when I said it wasn’t for charity my (then) coworkers all started backing away from me bc they thought I was a skinhead. Seriously, marshmallow fluff liberal me. Thanks, peeps.

“Screw them and their entitlement to how I should look.”

Yes it’s so infuriating that ball-kicking is considered OFF LIMITS. If men don’t want to be kicked in the balls, maybe they should stop ASKING FOR IT by doing fucked-up shit that makes you have to kick them in the balls!

That’s when you stuff his pillowcase with them.

Go you. I shaved my head last summer and everyone kept trying to philanthropize it: “Oh, did you do St. Baldrick’s? Or donate it to charity?” “No,I just wanted it gone so I could stop wasting time preening myself.” As if a woman’s appearance/shaved head has to be an act of generosity or sacrifice.

Whenever I read a frothy article that’s all ‘Here are the top ten things in women’s fashion that men hate’, I just want to do everything on the list as a reminder that I do not exist for anybody’s boner. It’s that level of pettiness that led to me cutting off all of my hair after a boyfriend told me he didn’t want me…

I never wore makeup but I’ve been experimenting with it lately. Always garish — blue lipstick, glitter eyes, stuff that is not “pretty” but like a poisonous snake that warns you away with bright colors. Screw them and their entitlement to how I should look.

Vanity keeps me from throwing away my makeup and sanity keeps me from, as I often feel the repugnant urge, breaking the mirror with the surface of my own face and leaving us both cracked open. But I also can’t deny my current impulse to become as ugly and unlikeable as I can, merely to serve as constant reminder of…

This was amazing. Thank you for writing!

Fuck Tom and all the Toms of the world.

nah

You know Mike Pence is doing the Mr. Burns pointy fingers thing right now.

How is that accurate if it doesn’t have feathers? Dinosaurs have feathers now, right? God, it’s all such bullshit. We used to have all these awesome images of giant, angry lizards hunting and attacking docile herbivores covered in spikes or spines. Ankylosaurus? Looked awesome! Hardened spiked shell on its back and a…
