I am really annoyed by all these dudes who are like, "but 'women' doesn't encompass all females, so I'm just trying to be ACCURATE!" No, you're trying to be an asshole. There is nothing stopping you from saying "women and girls" except your own entrenched desire to appear right all the time.

"Or when I was training last year at my job, I had a girl try and teach me about copy/paste because she hadn't known it before."

Hugh Jackman? What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Having gone through that phase myself, I think it's about finding power in a world in which you're pretty powerless. Especially considering that it's power that's often associated with female-ness, which at that age can be confusing and embarrassing and kind of icky.

Me, too! English is pretty nonsensical, grammatically speaking.

That sounds amazing. I want one.

I have awful stress dreams about arguing with people I love. I wake up angry with them but also freaked out that they're angry with me, and it's awful.

Dear ABC,

Also, why on earth is this in the greys? Shouldn't anything containing Tom Hiddleston get automatically promoted? Come on, Jezebel, get your shit together.

It's even worse because he's clearly TOTALLY DELIGHTED to be there. He's just such a funny, charming dude. WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE OF HIM?

Oh, my god. I am dying. DYING.

Wow. I don't have any experience or wisdom to offer, but I just wanted to say that that really sucks. Sorry that you and your family are going through such a rough time.

I've been half-dissertating, half job-searching. Now that I've got a job (non-teaching, but I like it), I'm going to switch to half-dissertating, half-writing a paper for PAMLA (one that I'm really excited about but proposed without having so much as an outline). It's tough, because it's very hard for me to set my own
