I do not have a "down there". Ms. James. Just an FYI.

You sound just like my previous department head. I was telling her that I really want to move on in my career but I am worried about looking to ambitious and grasping. She told me to shut the fuck up with that nonsense. She said "I am sick of women talking themselves down and talking them out of jobs they are more…

Once, at a company where I was the only woman, I got in the habit of making the 1st pot of coffee because I was always the first one in. The CPO said to me one day, 'I'm glad you make the coffee, it tastes better when a woman makes it.' I bought my coffee on the way in from then on and never brewed another pot.

I can cite so many examples of this, but my favorite was the male attorney who asks me to fix the copy machine when it jams. It took me years to finally come up with the proper response, "Ray, I went to the same law school as you, and they still don't offer any office equipment repair classes."

And where does white vinegar come into this? I bought a gallon along with the lube and condoms but I fear I may have jumped the gun based on operant conditioning.

don't forget to take a left at juvenile junction

They're likely the same people who think telling women in public they're "prettier when they smile" is an act of civil nobility.

THAT IS A REALLY GOOD POINT. So, not so much an exception as another manifestation of straightwhitedude privilege?

Exception! People are fond of using the word "male" when it's preceded by the word "black".

I think we feel uncomfortable about the word "woman" because we're taught that our attractiveness withers and dies after the age of 22 when, like an apple falling from the tree, we sit on the grass withering and rotting until winter comes and destroys us completely.

Seriously, the only time I want to hear the word female is in a nature documentary. For example, "After coitus the female of the species devours the her mate." That sounds just fine.

"date as many men as possible. It's the best way to look younger and feel better about yourself"

Maybe the fact that it sounds like he followed notes from Central Casting?

I have never experienced assault at the hands of a male feminist, but I have experienced Macktivism for sure. I only trust men who listen more than they talk about feminism (in a conversation with women), who are feminist in actions but not necessarily name. I look for nuances in conversation, reactions to real world…

Honestly, Rihanna bossing around Leonardo DiCaprio and finding him subpar is basically every sex dream I have ever had.

But sometimes at like 10:00, I decide to try out a new lipstick or some hairstyle I see and then can't really replicate, or a dress I haven't worn in forever, and then I wander around my apartment looking like Miss Havisham 2015.

This guy already looks like a dad, so presumably there is a resemblance.

You are literally a man who can't take no for an answer.

some monologues about SRS vaginas.

Vagina-focused, but not necessarily blatantly transphobic, though? I can absolutely see why vagina talk might make trans women (and trans men) feel a bit uncomfortable, but that kind of discussion isn't inherently hateful towards women who don't have vaginas. Or is it?
