How does this dude determine where to stop shaving?

It also seems to suggest that everyone who is fat is fat for the same reasons.

I understand why it’s a shock. I understand why some women especially were hurt. Visually I represented a lot of women...the most brutal conversations were being had by other women about my body

This woman has always been beautiful. Adele has been stunning in every era and iteration of herself. The “upgrade” talk is down right insulting. The woman has never taken a bad cover photo.

My mom is surprised that I’ve gained weight. She’s like, “You’ve gotten so heavy!” It’s pretty funny. 

Wow, what an excellent observation and conclusion.

Something I’ve witnessed in family-member caregivers is a tendency to take the behavior/memory lapses of their loved one personally. It’s very important (for your own mental health) to realize from the get-go that the individual with dementia is likely NOT doing what they’re doing on purpose.

One of the last real conversations with my dad while he had Alzheimer’s, I tried to tell him I had bought a house in rural PA after living in suburbs of MD most of my life. I showed him some pictures, but he just kept smiling and saying “no way, you’re not old enough yet”. He thought I was still a teenager, or

Yeah, there’s a reason Dave attacks racism while not having a lot to say about the patriarchy. One of those systems of oppression is working against him, and the other one props him up.

Something I learned when I had a family member with dementia - when they confuse someone for someone else from their past, it’s usually their emotional bond trying to place you within their current mental timeline.

they can go buy tickets to his shitty show, there is no need for netflix to broadcast this into homes, just pull it.

I know people love those two comedians and they are influential, but goddamn did they punch down hard and frankly that gets tiring.  Its not clever or funny, it's not like those two excuse the behavior but if your going to be like this at the very least be entertaining.  

I’m all for women wanting more for themselves & happy when they stop going back to abusers, but there’s certainly a huge difference between someone who doesn’t treat you right & someone who just doesn’t take you on vacations.

I remember being flabbergasted as a tween when the Equal Rights Amendment was defeated but in the many years since I’ve come to recognize that there are a lot of people—male, female, other—who are terrified at the idea of possibly needing to take care of themselves, so finding a partner who will

If only men understood that emotional intelligence and vulnerability are hot then maybe cis-het dating wouldn’t be this maddening Jenga game of who gets to be the bigger self-involved asshole. The only thing I agree with here is being independent and having a thriving life is good for a relationship because it helps

I used to be a ghostwriter for dating site profiles (yes, that is an actual thing). I’m not going to say that every man over 45 was looking for a woman under 28... but it sure seemed like it.

Yikes, I haven’t seen the straight up “alpha” reference on profiles so much (which is surprising, considering that I live in a red midwestern state), but I have noticed several that identify as “liberal” men will say that they’re “dom” or dominant on their profiles. Which, unless you’re clearly stating that you’re dom

To be fair to Lizzie Bennet, she lived in a totally different time where women’s literal survival depended on attracting and locking down the wealthiest mate possible. She did not have the option of earning her own living, or, regardless of money, living an independent life without marriage. Under those circumstances,

I am very, very out of the game, so it doesn’t mean much.. but if I was on a date and the other person just fucking stared at me when the server came over I’d probably just ask for two apps to go and a split check. We’re both going to enjoy mozz sticks at home way more than each other’s company.

That is hilarious.
