I also didn’t get that vibe AT ALL and a lot of the responses in this thread make me wonder if we read the same article. (Well, actually they make me wonder if they read *the article*. It’s sooo clear to me that this is a “hindsight”/”introspection on past behavior” jag - how are people missing that?)

She’s right that not needing a man is the filter of filters.

it’s possible—it doesn’t even occur to many people that women can be autistic too, especially adult women. lots of people still think it’s something that only little boys can have. thankfully, things are slowly beginning to change and the stigma and misinformation is beginning to clear up as more and more people learn…

thanks for the heads up—i will not waste any more of my time trying to reason with the unreasonable.

not liking the idea that people are programmed from childhood is fair. not recognizing that is the case is incredibly ignorant. and dangerous. what do you think society/societal ideals/govt are, if not programming? if you DO NOT HAVE the opportunity to learn anything but what you are taught, the chances that you will…

I haven’t been watching this season, but I’ve been reading the recaps and watching short scenes. I’ve started shipping these two hard.

this was too long, and no one said her mother was right- her mother had no context for that sort of action, no context to realize it was a simple release and likely had nothing to do with her. women are especially programmed to think of love and sex as being mutually exclusive, thus making pornography and masturbation…

As soon as I saw “challenging woman”, I thought, “This seems familiar...”

holy shit.

Yeah, and I never understood other guys complaining about blue balls. If it’s getting that bad, isn’t that what your hand is for?

One summer day, in our early 20s, a timid co-worker came into work wearing a hat. She seemed even more quiet and reserved than usual. “Are you cold?” I chided. “No,” she said quietly “I fell asleep at a party and my boyfriend cut all my hair off in front of his friends, as a joke...”

It took me and my friends an embarrassingly long time to learn that just because a guy gets aroused around us that doesn’t mean it’s our responsibility to do anything about it. Like when they say, “what, you’re just going to leave me like this??” Um, yes?

That’s letting him off too light. I say wait for trash day, dispose of all his stuff into the trash that’s leaving right now, and change the locks.

He has to sleep sometime, and handcuffs are cheap, and that chili pepper would really hurt, if rubbed into his eyes.

A while ago there was this heinous video going around FB starring a guy who would physically push his girlfriend into things, or dump things on her or say nasty shit to her and it was SO FUNNY.

I’m torn on which is more urgent: dousing herself in dairy or killing him. Her temporary insanity claim might be weakened if she waits.

A prank is swapping all of your mate’s furniture around when he on holiday or covering his room is army men. It’s not physically or emotionally harming the woman you are supposed to love.

If this had happened to me, it wouldn’t be posted in the comedy section, it would be under crime because I surely would have killed him when I saw him holding out the pepper.

Or who they refused to blow.

I don’t know about Peak Twitter, but that is definitely Peak Starbucks. They even spelled “Jodie” wrong!
