You sound like a lovely host, but I misread this and thought all these things were in the guest *bathroom.* Snacks gave me pause, coffee made me gasp.

Right?? Like who doesn’t love the bathrooms when you’re out and about that have fun stuff like free tampons, lotion, mouthwash, etc. Little extras are so easy but go so far.

YUP. He gives me Nice Guy (TM) vibes.

He’s absolutely a pick me!

What’s the male version of what we call “pick me” girls? Because this is absolutely a pick me guy if I’ve ever seen one.

Listen, of course it is courteous to have items like this available if guests need it. I don’t even use my guest bath but I make sure there is a little box of commonly needed items under the sink,…

My husband and his roommate used to do this in college. It was 100% a “way to get girls” by showing how thoughtful the guys could be.  (I was one of those girls.) 

This. If a guy has a box of a couple items under his sink, I’d think that would be a nice courtesy. If I walked in the bathroom and saw a full period palace, I’d be like, “Chris, when is your girlfriend getting home?”

Here’s how it should go down

As someone who goes a bit beyond when it comes to keeping my guest room stocked (I load up the local travel guides, stationary, snacks, toiletries, bedside carafes, coffee and tea selections, and even have a guest-room coffee pot and container of spa slippers), I understand this guy’s urge to be like... everyone who…

Wouldn’t the obvious conclusion of most women upon discovering these be that “Wait, does this guy have a live in girlfriend who’s just out of town”?

Would you recommend blurting it out before the server brings the drinks, or do you let it work itself organically into the flow of the conversation?

It’s one thing to keep a box under your sink, just in case. It’s quite another to showcase a variety of menstrual products all over your bathroom. The first seems considerate; the other, desperate.

Okay, but Justin Timberlake is still an asshole, right? #janet4eva

Fun fact: soon after Jessica Simpson made her Chicken of the Sea comment, she used the word "facetious" correctly in a sentence. Make of that what you will.

So Kim and Kanye are basically having a normal marriage except with money?  Sounds about right. Worked for all of my friends’ parents so they should be okay to. 

Anyway, the source says Kim, whom Us Weekly says is on a “girls’ trip” to Turks and Caicos right now (don’t tell the global pandemic!!!!)

LMAO! This is exactly how she’ll go. It needs to be minor royalty or an eccentric billionaire. Of course, if she passes the bar, she could remake herself in a different way by hooking up with a schmancy lawyer and the two of them fight for justice? 

I think she’s gotta go big, like Saudi billionaire type of thing. Pull a Salma or Janet—strictly big money guys.

my entire reading of this interview would change if he’d just said what’s more accurate in that sentence, which is that it is much too easy for men to be feminists, exhibit a matt mcg

I do absolutely get the “it’s easier for a man to be a feminist” thing. Every now and then a troll will presume I’m a woman and I’ll get a fraction of the gendered harassment that women on this site get, and it’s such a heartbreakingly personal reminder of how I, as an ally, can't truly understand the psychic toll of…
