Great piece. And may I recommend getting fat? I am completely invisible now. But nothing makes men angrier than a fat feminist who loves herself. Example number one - Lindy West. She rocks.

How horrible that must have been for you!

I was with you right up until the “gum” comment. Is gum really so great? ;)

It doesn’t seem like Tomato Face. I’m not sure this person is a troll. They seem incredibly angry and disappointed and cynical - but it seems sincere.

I saw GM in concert about 8 years ago and I thought I’d never heard a more glorious, soaring, pure voice. His voice was more beautiful in person than on his records. I am so sad that he’s gone.

Agreed! Also, who drinks cola from a jug? People drink single serving diet cola because it tastes like balls when it goes flat. Also also, who doesn’t know when they’re fucking drunk?

I am an atheist, and when my mother died, many people told me they were keeping me and the family in their thoughts and prayers. I genuinely appreciated this, and never once thought anything but good thoughts about these people. I would proceed knowing that people understand your goodwill.

Bryn Mawr: Better Dead than Coed!

All the way through the comment threads you’ve been downplaying women’s colleges/schools, “Some women CAN learn in the presence of men/boys”. You seem pretty snide in looking down at women who understand the importance of single sex spaces for learning. Have you looked at the data that says that an OVERWHELMING…

I got the lesbian lecture when I decided to go to Bryn Mawr. (Anassa kata!). People are very worried that women’s colleges will make you gay.

I suspect you are answering a troll.

I lol’d at this even though I think Tilde’s school sounds awesome and I’d like to go there. I’m 46.

Thank you for recommending this album. I’m listening to it now, and it’s sooooo good.

I’m thinking TX leg behind this needs to receive samples daily from menstruating women, y’know, since they are so concerned with the minutia of women’s reproductive cycles and fertility.
