I consider myself a liberal, a progressive, an ally . . . all the things that privileged white guys tell themselves to justify the comparatively easy road that has been laid out for us from the get-go. But as I was reading this my first thought was, “why does it matter? He assaulted this woman; why get pedantic about…

Not sure what level of sarcasm you’re operating under or if you really think this article is being “needlessly pedantic” but I suggest actually read the article. Take notes this time instead of just coming up with a lame quip.

there is some deep, deep control issues regarding women and their households.

If we women are just too dangerous, then maybe the men need to stay at home where it is safe and not venture out into the world without a chaperone to protect their virtue.

I was pleasantly surprised to find my millennial cismale partner is good about equality with typical chores and cooking but I find I am still the emotional backbone of the house and it’s frustrating he can’t see it. Dear Sugar’s “I am the list” podcast episode about emotional labor division is great.

Fellow “the gay one” reporting in. Keep fighting the good fight, my friend.

I come from a huge extended family. I’m the fifth of six kids; 5 boys, 1 girl in my immediate family, with approximately one million male cousins. My sister is the sole bread winner in her house. All four of my brothers earn less than their wives... I earn less than my husband so we skew the results. BUT... all my…

I’m not sure how many millenial men would openly admit to having regressive beliefs about splitting domestic work when both partners (in a hetero pairing) work full time, but I 100% have experience with millenial men who preach gender equality as much as possible but do jack shit around the house & with their children …

“At home, men are more resistant to that change because it really means surrendering privilege,” said David A. Cotter, a sociology professor at Union College who has studied gender attitudes. “This way, they don’t have to do more laundry.”
Well guess what, I don’t want to do the fucking laundry either.

A lot of it is due to men being assholes who don’t believe it’s their job.

Seriously. My husband is a senior engineer. One of his current underlings is a woman who really looks up to him, frequently requests his opinions and guidance and they are close. They eat lunch together all the time. He also mentors and trains other new hires - both men and women. The woman he’s closest too is moving…

It’s weird how their primary strategy isn’t, “Maybe let’s just not be fucking creeps.”

And it’s not always enough to lean in, because that shit doesn’t work all the time.

I mean I have issues with the Kelley Blue Book sometimes but I don’t know if I’d cast it into a pit of hell...

Nice price from a crack pipe

Something similar happened to me about a year ago, and it turned my world sideways. I’d written a thing on the internet and then someone else took it and rtd it and then a month later people were selling my work and making legit money and notoriety off it. Meanwhile I’d lost my job and was relying on expired shit from…

It’s like the Sahara in my underwear right now

Oh my goodness how have I never seen this moment of sheer beauty?

She is a sad, clueless moron, but if it wasn’t for her dipshittery, we would have never been gifted with this beautiful moment of an auctioneering takedown.

My heart hurts.
