“Basically, they hate it when women have fun with makeup. They’re cool with it when it’s a boring chore to enhance our looks for their benefit tho.”

Putting up a Christmas tree takes a lot of effort. I know, because when I got older my parents got lazy and told me I could only have a tree if I decorated it myself.

Agreed - you really don’t need to go to school for any of this. I’ve found Youtube to be the biggest help. Someone, somewhere, has encountered the same problem, fixed it, and filmed it.

Country radio is trash. And I say this as someone who likes and listens to country. Most country radio stations will go for hours without a single woman playing. I mean, it’s bad across all genres (I’ve checked our local rock stations - and they average one female artist for every 5 male artists), but it is especially…

I would love an update on what everyone ends up actually buying. Is there a way Jalopnik can follow-up with previous writers? 

This is an excellent way to describe the problem. I’m so sick and tired of employers in my town complaining that they can’t find workers, but are unwilling to pay them and/or give them benefits, what do they expect?

It was pretty hard to give up that control - I wanted things cleaned a certain way, but more than that I wanted an egalitarian household.

In addition to the anger, I feel frustration and sadness at how this just feeds into the belief that women should never report their rapes to the police. How many of the victims’ friends and family went on to be raped, but saw what happened to the victims, and decided not to report?

Was coming here to say something similar. We’ve survived several Montana and Idaho winters on all-seasons (some quite shitty, some quite good).

What is the deal with radio stations having the most sexist, racist, annoying little assholes for DJs? The DJs for one of my local rock stations have completely and totally ruined the station for me. They have an hour long show every morning where they whine about women being bitches and not being able to get laid. You…

Wow. You owned that motorcycle longer than I’ve been alive. I would’ve cried. I definitely would’ve broken down. 

I think you just know. Every car is different. Personally, I feel like it’s a much easier decision when there’s no sentimental value. I can give up cars I’m not attached to fairly easily.

Has Dan seen the farm? Pretty sure there’s either an old Jeep Willy’s that doesn’t run, an International 3/4 ton with a severe mouse infestation, or a chevy 1-ton grain truck that smells like rotting grain and oats growing out of the back. Possibly all three!

Let me guess, the second farm is to pay for the first. And you also have a job to pay for the second?

It reminds me of when I would push my cousin’s buttons until he was redfaced and in tears.

It is bringing me a sick amount of glee.

Yeah, I’m a little surprised (I shouldn’t be). Along with the questions of “Why is she coming forward now?”

Haha no, these guys haven’t been in a bar fight. They were too drunk to recall what it actually was - two drunk guys slurring insults at each other, maybe one trying to throw a punch. You don’t have to be blackout drunk to overestimate your physical prowess.

“Do life-like dildos dehumanize men—or does a faux torso need to be attached? Is a head required? Should we go after sex shops that sell various objects that can be put on, around, or in one’s genitals? I actually would very much like to know the thinking here!”

Because of my poor life choices, I have to call AAA about once every three or four months. And they have always been within their time-frame, or earlier. Also, I love my AAA membership.
