I’m genuinely curious, what part of this read to you like she was questioning his sexuality? I mean, obviously I’ve heard the rumors, but mostly I just thought she was commenting on how weird a couple the two of them are - most politicians don’t date actresses.  

As my brother in law once said, “I know sexuality isn’t a choice because women still date men.”  

“I just don’t have the right face for short hair,” said no man ever. Short hair solidarity!

Dudes when I’m wearing a full face of “natural” makeup: You look so great and low maintenance without makeup!

I always laugh at the ‘men preferring women without making and natural hair’ thing - like, guys can’t even tell when women are wearing make up or have dyed their hair unless it’s incredibly obvious, unnatural colours etc. I wear make up all the time, and men only notice if my lips are crimson and I have winged…

My husband was watching some random video from a guy going on about how much time/money women spend on their eyebrows so he asked me about it. I told him that in my experience the guys going on about how much time/money/etc women spend on makeup are also usually the ones who really don’t like the women who don’t do…

Over 40 here, never married but recently living with S.O. I have no desire to date if the current situation doesn’t work out. I’d spent the last 15 years living alone and actually find myself second guessing my decision to cohabitate. Sure, I’d seek out the occasional companionship from a gent that appreciates an older…

When I was in my 20s, if a guy over 30 hit on me, I would ask him if he went to school with my dad.

I went on five dates with a dude, who, on the fourth date noticed I had a little tummy (I was dealing with some big uterine fibroids at the time). On the fifth date, he broke up with me because he decided I was too chubby. He said, basically, you are cute and really smart; lose some weight and we’ll talk. This is…

Yeah, there were some jokes on his show regarding women characters that made me side-eye. It won’t age well.

I agree except for the idea that it’s a pathology or that he couldn’t control it. He wanted to be a violator and he felt he shouldn’t have any consequences for doing so. 

Men are really really bad at even telling if we’re wearing makeup, unless it’s like bright-blue-eyeshadow-red-lips. I’ve also been complimented on my “natural beauty” and I’m like, dude, I’m wearing makeup right now. Did you really think my eyelids were just naturally a darker beige than my skin?

I’ve done an experiment in the mall where I make, and hold, direct eye contact with men walking towards me. So far, they have all moved.

The pixie cut is a great litmus test to weed out shitty men. I’ve had one off and on since college, and I generally feel like I get more attention with it, but in a positive way. If a guy starts dropping not-so-subtle hints about linking long hair, it’s maybe not a red flag, but a definite yellow flag, proceed with…

lol - nice! In my college days I had a pixie cut, because I just couldn’t be bothered to do my hair. I had two semi-serious relationships back then and both guys would always whine about my hair. Or drop not-so-subtle hints that they liked long hair. 

Don’t you know, “respect people’s preferences” only extends to men.

Yeah - your daughter and I have that in common. And I have been raged at by both men and women for thinking men over 30 are “creepy” for hitting on me. I’m not necessarily calling them “old” either. They just always act so fucking condescending. And while they’re hitting on me! Like it’s very clear they want someone…

A white guy with a fetish for young asian women.

Yeah he also made some asinine comment about how it’s not his life’s dream to be an ally and he’s not interested in that gig, so I doubt he’ll be making any visits like that.

I am a Black queer person so following this story closely. One thing missing from his apologies is a clear understanding of why the comments are so toxic. Don Lemon laid out the high rates of child abuse and homelessness Black LGBTQ youth face due to parents with this exact “my kid could never be gay” attitude. The…
