My daughter said to me, in reference to her father, “Don’t worry mom, I won’t marry a man who is useless.”

My (central-IL) library does DQSH. It’s a very well attended event that had to be moved into the (basement, ugh) auditorium instead of the smaller upstairs area due to the amount of attendees. And I love, love, love that we do it. I know we’ve gotten a bit of blow-back on it, but I think we’ve gotten much more praise.…
by the time they found him he was just carry on
Shown the video by investigators, Boone agreed that it looked “bad.”
I think “customer service voice” is another extension of this. When I’m performing customer service my voice is several notches higher than my resting bitch voice. I know there’s been some controversy about hijacking the phrase “emotional labor” and applying it to personal relationships but I feel as though I have to…
Right?! Misogyny, rape, and violence toward women ARE NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING BLUE BALLS. Getting laid doesn’t magically turn men into nice guys! IT IS NOT SEX WORKERS’ JOBS TO MAGICALLY DEFUSE DANGEROUS MEN. Jesus fucking Christ.
Honestly, this is also why I get angry when people suggest that the way to deal with incels is to send them to sex workers. Sex workers are human beings performing a service; we shouldn’t condone having misogynists anywhere near them. Can you imagine if men did this to other service workers too? Would you take your…
This.
AYANNA!
I thought this while reading C&K too. All that time spent imprisoning women in hotel suites and then covering it up...when did this POS sleep?
I think it’s the gruesome version of when people ask me how I find “so much time” to read: I just do. It’s an ingrained part of my existence. Always have a book with me so when I’m waiting in line, on the bus, slow times at work, wherever, I can read.
I didn’t go on a second date with a guy once because on the first one he went on about how fucking “Oleanna” was one of his favourite plays ever and the best portrayal he’d ever seen of “gender politics in higher education”. (“OLEANNA”!!!!!) He was pretty hot but I could not get past that and felt it would only be a…
If anyone needs a hearty LOL today and you haven’t read it yet, read Alice Saville’s review of “Bitter Wheat”, a play about Harvey Weinstein that fucking David Mamet wrote, because of course he fucking would. http://exeuntmagazine.com/reviews/review-bitter-wheat-garrick-theatre/
When I saw Harvey with the walker the other day, I reminisced fondly about that brief period where Cosby was “blind.” Remember that? Haha, good times.
Of course he does. He has always believed, like so many abusers of women, that he’s God’s gift to women, that they should be grateful that he’s *allowed* them to be successful, that he’s graced them with the ultimate favor of his sexual attentions. He doesn’t believe he did anything that wasn’t his absolute right to…
Dude has fallen apart. To look at that banner photo, you’d have thought he was 97. It’s amazing what the power of comeuppance has.
They’re paid shit for the job. Consequently, all the people willing to take the job are shitty people who suck and life and take it out on you.
Apropos of nothing, when I was a kid in the 80s, I once wrote to Weird Al with my brilliant parody idea for Culture Club’s “Miss Me Blind.” It went “I know you’re mince meat, I know you’re mince meat. I know you’re mince meat piiieeeeeeeeee.”
There was a really fascinating study done in academia a few years ago that highlighted one of the real problems with how leave and associated benefits like tenure clock stoppage affect men and women in very different ways. Ironically, policies that allow faculty members to stop their tenure clock for a year instituted…
These days, men are just as likely as women to claim that they need family leave ...
