This white woman is going to explain everything!

I had a boss who skated out of a sexual harassment charge. You know the kind of shit he used to do?

It’s very simple: Don’t make SEXIST (not “sexist,” as sexism is a real thing) jokes. Don’t comment on a woman’s looks, body, or imagined sex life. Don’t stare at her tits. Don’t touch her. Speak to her in a professional, polite, friendly manner JUST LIKE YOU’RE ABLE TO PULL OFF WHEN SPEAKING TO MEN.

No, we aren’t in those positions; our positions are infinitesimally worse. So no, we frankly aren’t going to to bother “looking at it from this perspective”, because we don’t feel sorry for you.

Probably, but I think there are also a lot of men who:

I had a really disturbing conversation with a friend who said she would not “allow” her husband to have dinner with young female colleagues. Aside from the fact that she apparently can’t trust her husband if he’s off-leash, that is the kind of shit that holds women back at work. People really can work together without…

You know what you call a woman harassed at work who didn’t report it? EMPLOYED.

Damned trog on Twitter wrote that these women coming forward now are lying and disgusting because they didn’t come forward earlier. Cannot even see the irony in his comment.

I have my own body image issues and wish my nose was smaller, etc. Is it weird that my reaction after reading this was to try to love myself more?

Were you homeschooled?

I don’t know what makes this still so compelling, but I have it hanging on my wall

Years and years ago, she directed a movie called Office Killer, starring Molly Ringwald, Jeanne Tripplehorn, and Carol Kane as the title character—a murderous copy editor with an extremely interesting brow game. Rotten Tomatoes gives it 12%, but they are WRONG. It’s one of the oddest, most creepily wonderful films…

Glad I scrolled down because man, that Strange Little Girls work is good. (I still have the tour booklet somewhere that also has the Neil Gaiman stories for each character.)

CANNOT wait to see this. I bought his books when they came out and I still look at them. He was so ahead of his time. It’s a shame he died so young, and the resulting problems between his partner and family were terrible to read about.

Jesus, I hate people. Don’t kill things because you’re scared of them. This is neither cute nor funny.

I’m going to write scary story that is tangentially related to sewers too. It is the tale of Baby Jane, who found out that her downstairs toilet has been slowly leaking into the basement weakening the support beam. To fix it, the contractor must take out the toilet, rip up the tile floor, put in a new sub-floor, and…

‘Bout fucking time Cuthulu woke his lazy ass up.

Yes, who will boys look up to now? It’s not like there are that many powerful male figures in entertainment, especially in the sci-fi realm. WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE BOY CHILDREN?!?

You have my sympathies. I live inNew Orleans and this has been happening since hurricane Katrina. They have managed to get live music shut down (in most cases temporarily) in some old, classic venues. It’s never a local person - always someone who got enamored with our city and wanted to live near all the action they…

I used to live in Brazos lofts downtown and worked near fourth and congress. I loved the noise, loved the music and the crowds on sixth. It’s a part of living in a city, especially Austin. Fuck those people.
