sad how much of my teens and early 20s was politely waiting for strange men to shut the fuck up

I turned 28 and I think I’m officially free of ‘weird men asking you what you are reading or writing’ years old. From like 14 on I’d always get weirdo older dudes trying to ask me about what I was reading or writing or trap me in a conversation to seem ‘deep’. So glad that’s over

The only thing that stops a bad pole on a bender is a good pole in the fender.

I feel like the liquor store owner pauses on his way home every night to reflect on how the money he spend installing those things was the best investment he ever made . . . but lately he’s been debating with himself about when it’s going to be time to replace them before someone backs all the way over one and ends up…

It turned that Audi into an Innie. And the driver into an Ouchie.

#3 resonates so, so hard with me.  I’ll be 48 this year and by god, I cannot remember the last time I was not in pain from the innumerable breaks, surgeries, and crack-ups I took in my carefree youth.  I was too worried about looking fat to be amazed that I was carried around buy this vessel that could bound out of…

Dudes when I’m wearing a full face of “natural” makeup: You look so great and low maintenance without makeup!

1) Tracy, I read that article yesterday and just shook my head. I was 25 as well and remember dried up old White men like this, who view women as fungible goods with a sale by date. Heck, old White men? Look at goddamn R Kelley!

I’ve also found that men who say “I don’t like women who wear a lot of makeup” are really talking about heavy eyeliner and false lashes.

I’ve also found that men who say “I don’t like women who wear a lot of makeup” are really talking about heavy eyeliner and false lashes. Most of them are too stupid to realize that that “natural, low-maintenance” look they covet is actually pretty heavily made up as well.

lol - nice! In my college days I had a pixie cut, because I just couldn’t be bothered to do my hair. I had two semi-serious relationships back then and both guys would always whine about my hair. Or drop not-so-subtle hints that they liked long hair.

I’m a woman in my 20s. I wish old shitgibbons like Moix would leave me alone.

I remember seeing the headline for this somewhere else and saying “I bet he pervs hard on Asians.” AND SURE ENOUGH:

I have a 25 year old daughter and she thinks guys over 30 are creepy. She can’t be alone in this. I am of an age where I am invisible to all men except the husband. Although there is some beauty in this, I could do without the dudes who don’t seem to see me sharing the sidewalk with them, exiting the train, waiting on…

I didn’t hold a party when I became invisible to men, but I should have.

I talk to my male from ends about this. They all deny watching porn where the woman seems uncomfortable and I deeply believe they are lying. 

Do we ever speak of the consumer end of this? The audience for humiliation, violation and abuse? What does this say about us as a whole? How do we change? Where is our responsibility?

a standard industry practice in which a performer typically says on-camera that everything that happened in the shoot was consensual before receiving their paycheck. “I said that everything went fine and I had a good time,” she said in a text. “But I was holding back tears because you don’t get paid if you say you…
