I didn’t listen to the original podcast (since it’s been taken down) but, she was saying that she originally didn’t name the person she was talking about, and also, she was telling the story in a much different way. Then Jezebel picked it up and added the name of the person and a lot of surrounding context that wasn’t…

That quote sums up gender inequality like nothing else. And is incredibly chilling in its accuracy.

WOW that logic is alarming on multiple levels.

It just saddens me because there are so many women out there who feel rejected or lonely or sad because they’re single but I have never met a woman who managed to take “I’m sad because I’m single” to the conclusion, “Men are the problem for rejecting me and I must take violent revenge on them.” There are examples of…

Yet the MRA crowd take it as proof men are the real victims. Like men get laughed at all the time but bitches are barely ever shot!

we all were raised with those awful messages. the good ones figure out what the bullshit is instead of doubling down on it. good on you.

so there! :P

Yes, but the menz are entitled to a woman. We shouldn’t expect to ever have a man, and if we do, we are so incredibly lucky one of them picked us! So if a man doesn’t get what he’s been expecting all his life, well of course he’s going to get angry/sullen and not hold his emotions!

Totally. I’m like, like I *haven’t* cried my eyes out over some asshole before? Like I haven’t been seriously depressed because someone I liked didn’t like me back? Who the fuck hasn’t experienced that.

did you see john oliver last week? he’s fucking amazing.

seriously, this shit wasn’t supposed to be taken as advice, people

stories like this always freak me out, because long ago, as an angry young man, I too raged at the world about why I was single, trying to blame something else other than my own bullshit.

All I can think of is the Louis CK bit about how the #1 killer of women isn’t anything like cancer or heart disease—it’s men.

And conservatives will continue to say that the problem is mental illness and then do absolutely jack shit about dealing with mental illness other than mass incarceration.

exactly, there’s this imaginary schism between the sexes, each one thinking the other has it better off. I was thinking about this earlier today. It’s completely a “grass is greener” situation, and I have a lot of super progressive guy friends who think women can catch a dick whenever they want and all that sort of…

Solutions:

Margaret Atwood was on point when she said,

But of course, these writings will be immediately dismissed and everything will go back to the status quo.

One aspect of this that really pisses me off (bros being irrationally pissed off that girls don’t want to date them, that is) is that they completely fail to acknowledge that girls and women experience THAT SAME EXACT SHIT. I mean I guess to them, we aren’t fully human, so maybe that explains it.
