In my former shabby, rent-stabilized tenement apartment I snuck up to the roof just to see what was up there. The views were amazing. As were the praying mantises. A couple of them took a shine to me, so I let them sit on my shoulder and walked them into my apartment and built a little nest for them in a shoebox and…

I’m imaging the headless horseman just going at it.

A Trump supporter with thin skin and a penchant for not shutting the fuck up on Twitter. What a surprise!

I regret to inform you I will definitely not be attending your New Year’s Eve party.

No dick is irreplaceable, Cardi!!!

‘My parents were on an Antarctic cruise with them’

My parents were on an Antarctic cruise with them, she was in the salon of the boat every fucking day. And she didn't wear a hat during the land excursion, wind was blasting and my mom says that hair was rock solid.

It’s like we are living in Spain under the Habsburgs. Congenital idiocy.

Look, I absolutely despise the Trump administration, but those “toy soldiers” were United States MARINES. They aren’t toys and that’s the dress red uniform the Marine Band wears.

Absolutely.

The way I conceptualize it is that our roles are clearly defined and static. That role is to be a loving and respectful partner for the other. That’s it. What that looks like in action on a day-to-day basis is going to change a lot depending on your stage in life and what your needs are, but to me it’s meaningful that…

I think this is a good point. In relationships where the roles are clearly defined, expectations are set and stuck to. Now, everything is in flux and you have to be able to change together and swap roles as needed. In the end, I think it’s a much better, stronger bond because it’s a decision you are constantly…

When I was on maternity leave, I was reading “Where the Heart Is.” My husband decided the book was making me too depressed (thanks Oprah!), so he HID IT FROM ME before he went to work. I should have divorced him then. This was 22 years ago, and it still stands out in my memory as the first of many disrespectful things…

I think dissecting a comedienne’s speech to this degree is undermining people’s understanding who aren’t on our side already. Distilling things down to an easily-digestible point is a lot more helpful in terms of conversion. Your first point is especially hair-splitting.

I laughed my fucking ASS off and then cried a lot, it was extremely cathartic. It’s almost like trauma can be funny if you handle it the right way *blinks disdainfully at men who said this*

You realize that by nitpicking like this you’re undermining what she’s trying to do right? 

You’re splitting hairs in a way that makes no sense. Saying that misogynists consider women to be another kind of human who deserves less respect is denying us our humanity.

Agreed. In fact, this could map onto most axes of oppression pretty easily.

^THIS. And she nails that at the end of the monologue. The link is WORTH IT.

Michelle, your take on Les Mis is absolutely correct. I have never ever understood how anyone could find that play entertaining. It’s so bad. It’s not a great topic for such a hamfisted medium.
