I have run into a certain attitude towards harassment complaints from businesses. They print policies saying “sexual harassment is bad, OK?” but when a complaint is made, the company line becomes “oh, harassment is bad, but we only hire good people, good people don’t do bad things, so the accused must be innocent

HELLO, if he’s a Nice Guy he won’t do it. Duh. That’s why you should appreciate a Nice Guy, you superficial slut. They can use their fedoras as chinese stars if anyone threatens your safety.

So, enlighten us, MRAs: How are women supposed to know which of you fucks will pull this on them or not?

Here’s a pic of her at Howard, she’s top left.

PS: I love you.

Looks like the Cavs are coming up short.

This! I had a coworker plan are really pretty, very intimate destination wedding. NBD until she gushed and gushed about how it was just her closest friends and family, but then wanted all of us gals to attend her shower so badly that she CHANGED THE DATE to a weekend we could all go. And then on top of it, it was a

also, what’s wrong with a “look at me” opportunity? As if countless men’s teams in all sports haven’t done just that after a championship.

I still can’t believe the backlash that she got for taking off her shirt.

You know? Pretty much. I mean look what you’re doing here, jumping in shitting all over women’s conversations. Gee, I wonder why women would want a safe space for their education.

I’m dealing with something similar as we plan our wedding. ~WE~ decided that we didn’t want to have a church ceremony but the way my future MIL is acting you’d think I’d held a gun to her son’s head and forced him to go along with what I wanted. We’ve also split planning between us (about 60/40) based on our

I feel shitty for saying it but it kind of does.

Wow. Well, I wish I could give you some kind of insight, but my version of “it was hard” is looking wistfully at my ex’s Facebook status changing to “engaged” (nearly ten years after we'd parted ways) and thinking about what might have been, and feeling nostalgic, maybe talking to my best friend about it, and then

THIS IS NOT EVEN THE BEST PART, YOU GUYS. When we were dating, this was in the Super Fundy Christian part of my life, and one of the things that I stressed about was that he wasn’t as religious as I was. During our breakup, he got religion, and I lost it. Six months after this spectacular aborted proposal attempt, he

This is true. My husband got dumped by a girl who told him they couldn’t be involved any longer as she was “falling in love with him” and she didn’t want to. He said, fine, that seems fair. And then she got really, really angry with him and stopped speaking to him.

Some people are not ready to be sane.

I was in a similar situation: ex and I had a home together and I can see now that things were never really very good between us (we both loved him a lot - turns out that’s a problem after all) and so he gave me a wordy type-written letter that I don’t remember except the cliche at the end, “I love you, but I’m not in

I’m a little late to the party, but I have one too; My very oldest friend is together with a (very nice) dude, who is from a VERY religious family. Like, missionary shit, save Africa type of religion. Every summer, she and the beau head off to a string of teen wedding, because 18 year old who believe in God still need
