It’s a high-tech world in which we live. We usta have to get drunk & drive all over hell & back w/ a box of plastic letters to make random rural church signs say evil shit like “Your Mother Sucks Cocks In Hell”. Kids gots it so way easy these days. The message DOES kinds resonate, though, right ?

Another time, a guy said, “Well maybe you shouldn’t go out without your husband if you don’t want to get hit on.”

I hope he started helping out more when he saw what you do written out! I’m pregnant right now, and I’m concerned I’m going to end up taking on everything like ti sounds liek you have because currently my husband’s schedule is wake up at 9, walk upstairs and work. One time he told me he “didn’t have time to take out…

Oh my hell PLEASE make him do more than shut up for a while. HE IS NOT PULLING HIS WEIGHT IN YOUR FAMILY. Sorry to be a shouting internet asshole but this kind of thing pisses me off so much. It’s NOT FAIR TO YOU.

Ah emotional labor. My husband bitched about how he has to put our son to bed when he gets home from work. Just brush his teeth, read book, put in bed: 20 minutes. I’m usually cooking dinner. He went on and on about how he got no time to decompress. I was like okay, sure I hear you. I’ll put him to bed (I already pick…

Wow, your husband should really do some more work around the house! Looks like you are shouldering the majority of the household chores, which seems pretty unfair given that you both work full-time!

I think instead of pointing out the difference in available time, you should use those lists to balance the effort between you a bit more. He’s not pulling his weight.

So he works from home and does none of the housework? What’s his excuse?

My daughter is a freshman there right now, and I’m way more scared of the campus carry BS than I am about her odds of being attacked by a stranger. The thought of guns being allowed on a college campus is absurd and shortsighted to the millionth degree. The president and faculty hate it as well and can’t do anything…

Thanks so much for continuing to cover this story. I’m a third-generation UT grad myself and work three blocks from campus and I know so many people who are still reeling over this because nothing like it has happened in our collective memories. This was actually the first homicide investigation the UT police opened…

Good job lobbing your hot unwanted political take into a non political story about a young woman’s tragic death and the hunt for the person responsible.

...and not a book “she” wrote.

My Texan friend tells me “lasso” doesn’t always literally mean to catch with a rope. It kinda means to “wrangle” or “catch” less accurately. So they probably tried to grab and cuff her unsuccessfully.

Even then, if you’re in a bar, you’re probably looking for some fun, because why else would a woman go to a bar. It’s not like women like to drink or hang out or anything like that. You totes must be horny.

Going to use that “someone already peed on me” line next time I get an unwanted pickup :)

... and I find that even the “I BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE” lines don’t even work half (or more!) of the time ... S: Like it then becomes a challenge? Or if they just harass me enough I’ll be intimidated enough to agree? Is that the plan?! )))): idk!

I work at a small school, and our two male teachers are much older men who are married and all around good guys. The one man my age who came to work for us, who was also married and the minister of a small church, apparently couldn’t help himself and proceeded to constantly tell me how great my body was and how…

Because in our culture, a “no” from a man actually counts. If you “belong” to another man, that’s effectively a “no” from him when someone else hits on you, which will be respected. If the “no” is just coming from you, well ...

Yes, that kind of thing is just a shining example of how women are never really considered people to some men.

It basically comes down to: it’s not us, you women bewitch us with your feminine wiles, it’s your fault. Original sin blaming is alive and well.
