I honestly wasn’t trying to wag my dick around in here, but this question I posed has always troubled me somewhat but I don’t suppose (as a man) I can really understand fully. I did appreciate your response.

Agreed on all these points, really.

That’s certainly a convenient response. Example: several years ago, Sarah Palin tried to invoke “feminism” in this speech. Does that, by definition, make her a feminist?

This is something that baffles me as a bit of an outsider (disclosure: am man) - I got into a minor debate with someone on here a while back when I claimed that it’s difficult to call yourself a feminist and at the same time avidly consume fashion mags that exist to shame women into buying product.

those lazy infants can pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

I’m heartened that capital-M masculinity is breathing its last. You only really see it in douchy frat-type dudes in college who want to fight everyone for some reason, aging Republicans (though that Venn diagram is pretty much a circle), and shut-in fedora’d gentlemen who think they embody the 50’s ideal but are…

I think this is the best post here. It’s literally impossible to teach any kind of lit without bringing up some nasty stuff, so (to start) students should be aware that when they sign up for a class they might be getting into some dark territory (especially Greek mythology/early drama/etc).

It doesn’t get much more New York than this.

oh my god what?

Just last night, my grandfather talked to Ed O’Neill of Married With Children/Modern Family fame for ten minutes. He acted like any vaguely grumpy septuagenarian would act. Nice guy.

When is the “New York is the best city on Earth” narrative going to die? There’s no way it’s true anymore.

Holy shit, Olive Garden is struggling? Where are middle Americans eating instead?

It’s easy to hate unlikeable douchebags!

I wonder where the first -aiden/-ayden/etc name appears on this list.

I hate this crap. There are a litany of reasons to dislike Courtney Love, don’t try to couch this in “anyone who hates a woman for any reason is a sexist.” It’s insulting to everyone.

Kris Jenner doesn’t know how to do anything authentically anymore.

PSA: this song is wretched and you’re allowed to hate it.

I’m guessing the cocktail of meds she’s taking is helping.
