There is something really satisfying about watching the monster Fox News created turn on it. So weird how a couple decades of telling people “You’re exactly right and everything you want is the right thing to want and anyone who tells you differently is lying and trying to hurt you” eventually means...those people…

This is the crazy thing--I barely have the bandwidth to be upset about all the bullshit we really should be getting upset about. I cannot imagine having the energy to give a shit about this.

Evangelicals have a really weird fetish for Jewish people (it’s that whole “chosen people” thing), so if Javanka can wink at the Evangelicals enough, then they’ll be fine remaining Jewish.

In fairness to Harry, he’s a literal prince, and princes aren’t exactly known for their social consciousness. Plus, he got further along than many people get by getting the part about needing to act once you know, so that’s at least nice.

Every time something like this happens, I am reminded of how many times as a kid I was told that women couldn’t be leaders because periods. 

I wish I could find it now, but I read about a study where groups of two or three elementary school aged boys were left in a room filled with toys and games and a handgun. The handgun was unloaded but rigged to make a loud bang if the trigger was pulled. Kids who had had some training with firearms were significantly…

I pretty much disagree, and I say that as someone who lives in a household where there are guns (my husband enjoys target shooting as a hobby, so he has several guns, all of which are stored unloaded, safetys on, in a locked safe, which is also in a room the children are not allowed to be in without an adult present).…

IIRC, Trump wanted to nominate Barrett for the seat that went to Kavanaugh, but McConnell told him she would be too hard to confirm. So, this should be fun (read: exhausting)

It’s been fun recently to ask people who think abortion should only be legal to save the life of the mother when they think women should be allowed to take advantage of that. I’m one of those people whose life would be seriously endangered if I got pregnant again. So, can I get an abortion when I get pregnant, knowing…

Oh, yeah, no, this is her problem. Good luck and God bless.

This has to be awful for her, right? She married an obese, 59-year-old rageaholic who eats nothing but fast food and thinks exercise is bad for you. She had to be thinking I’ll put in at most ten years and then I’ll be a wealthy widow living on the French Riviera and dating Italian playboys. Now, instead, she’s living…

Growing up in Evangelical churches and private religious schools, I was told multiple times that a woman’s pleasure during sex doesn’t actually matter. It wasn’t until I was an adult that it occurred to me how perverse that idea is. So, God, the creator of the Universe and of humans, gives women clitorises, literally…

Evangelicals are generally less okay with the idea that women should have sex with their husbands any time they want. They play footsie with the idea sometimes, but it’s not broadly accepted. A lot of them also seem to take as a given that the frequency of sex will decline precipitously after the first year of…

Nah, I don’t think they’re that interesting. More likely, they have sex no more than four times a year, he neither goes down on her nor stimulates her manually, she’s expected to fake an orgasm for the sake of his ego, and each time they both resent each other a little more. 

He strikes me as the kind of guy who never quite matured from his seventh grade self. And, so, yeah, like all seventh grade boys he is both fascinated by and absolutely terrified of female genitalia.

I’m really sorry. Please know that you aren’t under any obligation to continue to do what she asks, and that includes staying in contact with her. You’re not obligated to take her abuse. I know it’s really complicated and difficult, though. Do whatever you need to for your own mental health and peace of mind. Big…

Yep, the reason she’s mad is because she was supposed to be a wealthy widow dating Italian playboys on the French Riviera by now, not living in a moldering wreck of a historical monument having to make nice to ugly nerds.

I’ve known a few pretty clear narcissists in sales. They do really well. Like, really well. I think it’s because they’re so adept at telling people what they want to hear and creating a whole fantasy world for a prospective client. And then they have no problem turning around and fucking that client over if it’s in…

They don’t think about it too hard, and the idea that bad things happen because someone else is shitty is kind of comforting, I suppose. Like, if you’re kind of emotionally unhealthy, it’s soothing to believe that there’s a person who did a bad thing that caused your suffering rather than just random happenstance.…
