I find this deeply obnoxious, especially when I get a callback from someone in a business context and they're all like, "Oh, I couldn't be bothered to listen to your voicemail, please take more time out of your day to repeat exactly what you said there because my time is more valuable." Nine times out of ten, when I…

I can't speak to Tinder or any of the dating apps, but in regards to the actual websites (OKCupid, Match, Plentyoffish, etc.), a far as I know, there is no way to block any messages from getting to you if they come from members that are outside your preferred age range. Same goes for your profile: just because…

It's a really common disordered eating tactic, and I feel empathy for anyone who feels compelled to eat that way, but that doesn't make it any less horrifyingly gross to have to clean up after in a restaurant. HORF CITY. Ugh.

Jenny Slate, we should party, because I too am an inveterate sleep eater. One time I woke up eating a steak that I had broiled. In my sleep. I broiled a goddamn steak in my sleep. But I also got to talk to Ira Glass about sleep-eating a steak when he was in town doing a talk about radio and simultaneously…

I've really loved the things Tim Gunn has said, on the show and in the press, about the fashion experience for the plus-size shopper and how fucking ridiculous it is that all we have is a handful of options and a shitload of excuses. Tim Gunn gets it, and oh lord, my fondest wish is to have him come fix my damn…

Oh, Father Dougal. I'm just as speechless as you... not even "My Lovely Horse" can fix it.

No, sweetie, we laugh at trolls. They're so hilarious!

It actually isn't, all you have to do is actually try to reason it out. A trans woman is a woman who was categorized as male at birth. Asking that journalists just call trans women "men" because it's more convenient for you is very offensive.

Seriously. Get it, girl.

LOL!! You're silly.

Oh, this made me so happy. Thank you for sharing!

I'm replying here to a comment from you, because Kinja is being less than cooperative. Sorry for any confusion. The comment I'm replying to is this one:

It's not that we're not "wired" to feel that way, it's that we're socialized to never show anger or be aggressive.

I like how you saw an instance of obvious hyperbole and you immediately jumped to veiled accusations of physical abuse. That's amazing.

As for "casually dismissing" men who pop in here to talk about how not all men are bad... they're useless. They're doing nothing except trying to assuage their hurt feelings because someone somewhere forgot to put the word "some" in front of the word "men" when talking about how they've been treated very terribly,…

Yeah, uh... that was kind of obvious hyperbole on her part, I can't believe you're taking that at face value. That's kind of ridiculous.

Why do you think those guys need your defense? They're coming into a place where women are sharing personal stories about how events like this effect their lives, how our culture of male entitlement effects all our lives in a very negative way, and they're making it allllllll about them and their hurt feelings.

The men you know must be very defensive and knee-jerk reactionary, then, because every man I've talked to about this issue lately has been very much "WTF is wrong with these asshole dudes". The only "fight or flight" mode behavior I've seen from men has been on the internet, in comments on articles like this, when…

It's cute that you can't understand hyperbole in written form.

That doesn't make it okay, that just means your friend's an asshole when it comes to dating.
