I saw your comment just before I hit “publish” and it made me happy. I, too. live in oversize PJ pants at home. I did make an exception this winter and get some heavy yoga pants (warm + spandex). But those have already gone into storage. I’ll fess up to owning a couple pairs of cargo-type pants and some baggy shorts.…

I had a shit ton of Barbie toys as a little girl. My favourite colour has always been blue and I’m the only one in the house who knows how to use tools. I also have blond hair down to my butt and wear nail polish every day. I think I’m a 50/50 mix between stereotypically feminine and masculine aspects.

EXACTLY. My mom wouldn’t wear a dress at all anymore, and she’s had short hair since the 50s. I have long hair, high heels, and I wear pants in a work setting only if it snows. I’ve got a mouth like a trucker, a great career, and if sometimes my fingernails are green, so be it. I think owning who you are (within…

I am a strong feminist who loves having sparkly nail polish. I wear jeans and flats or a fancy dress. The thing about clothing for women is that we need to stop letting it define us. As long as we are choosing what we want to wear, there really isn’t a wrong, and buying into the conflation of wardrobe and feminism…

My FIL, who I swear is otherwise a lovely person, was talking before the election about how Hillary was sooooo corrupt and Trump was much better (although he lives in Utah and I’m pretty sure he voted McMullin). I walked through the living room as he was saying this and casually remarked that we were going to have to…

If they have kids, it will probably be better for the kids to not be exposed to their grandparents’ bigotry.

So basic Trump supporting shit people who are going to be reeeeeeeeeally surprised when they lose the house to have to pay for their medicine.

It’s horrible that this is happening but maybe this will help clean up the GOP? Like, do these people now realize that their bigoted lying evil party members really mean it when they say that sort of thing? Or are they just shrugging and saying “oh well, but her emails and vagina so nothing to be done”

This is what always gets me. My in-laws will rail for hours on how we need a national language, and how dare that person speak their native language ever again, and on, and on... and my response is usually “God, it must have been *so* convenient for your Polish family to have automatically become fluent in one of the…

This is what I’ve been saying to my mom. So people hated the idea of a woman running the country so much they voted for someone who (a) demonstrated again and again that’s he’s a terrible person, and (b) they knew was/is dishonest? Like, what the fuck??

The only thing worse in Mike Pence’s mind would be talking to any woman that isn’t his wife.

This article was good timing also....

Yes. You’re right. It’s NOT like there was a huge leak from the DNC showing coordinated support for Hillary because THAT NEVER HAPPENED.

Thank you so much for saying this. Just last week I was feeling depressed because I thought that even on Jezebel I didn’t feel safe saying that. Why anyone would support him.....all he had to say to his supporters was, if you’re spewing misogyny towards Clinton on Twitter, I don’t want your support. But he didn’t. He…

I would love to give you all the stars for this. So many times I heard people complaining the the DNC wasn’t treating Sanders fairly, to which my response was always he’s not a member of the Democratic Party. Sanders wouldn’t identify as such, refused to do anything for downticket candidates, and was only using the…

Nothing. They won’t do anything, they’ll defend him until their last breath.

Two things I will never forget for as long as I live:

Nope. Their internalized misogyny is too strong for any admission of mistakes. Sincerely, a white woman who voted for Hillary.
