This is excellent advice and I wish I could have read it about 2 years ago.

Just this morning while watching the news I became overcome and started ranting to my husband about how literally ALL of the world’s problems right now are being caused by terrible, angry men who want infinite power and money and at any cost.

You said exactly what’s been burning like acid inside me since November. Germaine Greer once said, Most women have no idea how much men hate them. I used to think that was extreme but now now. I feel like I’ve woken up from a daydream to reality.

Two decades into my career and I’ve decided that male bully coworkers are the foot soldiers of the anti-feminist movement. They use weapons of mass invalidation - undermining women’s strengths, struggles, successes.

“be wary of HR...there to defend the organization, not you.”

They’re better at hiding it.

The fuck. what was the joke?

I am SO sorry; Remember to keep documenting his behavior and your superiors’ (non) reactions to it with dates and timestamps (i.e. email yourself the date, time, location and details including quotes of ALL of the f*ckery) in case you have to do a job action.

I honestly think I will never forgive America for not electing our first and long overdue female president over a fucking liar & cheat. The misogyny this election brought out from the progressive side was truly depressing as fuck. It’s like we know conservatives hate us but it kind of blindsided me from our side. And…

I’d like to nominate my asshole bully coworker who made a casual rape joke a few months ago. His promotion was announced yesterday.

Narrowing this post down from the hundreds (thousands?) who came to mind must have been one of your hardest tasks this year.

I will never, NEVER get over those Bundy assholes getting off Scott-free. They took government land and held it under threat of violence, and didnt even get a slap on the wrist. If others do the same (or worse) in the future than the government has only themselves to blame for the precedent they set.

Dafuq are you talking about? Wake the fuck up. THEY JUST SMASHED THE OPPOSITION!

They fucked the president for 8 years, with a parting shot of them screwing him/us out of the supreme court. We just got our fucking asses kicked.

^ This.

Exactly. I just think it’s incredibly arrogant to think we’re better than all human beings that ever existed. We have better toys now, that’s it. We’re not inherently better, it’s naive and dangerous to think this way.

I’m not sure about the GOP being done for. They gerrymander. They undermine democracy. They undermine voting rights. They purge voting rolls. They shut down the government regularly. Heck, it may be that they work with the Russians. Kind of seems like they own America at this point and I don’t really see (if they keep…

People say this but what makes you think it’s coming to an end? From just demographics? What happens when latinos become “white”?

No, it’s far worse than that. It’s no longer about policy or ideology, it’s about authority. The Republicans have shown that if their ideology conflicts with gaining and holding authority, they will cheerfully shift their ideology to accept whatever their leaders tell them. The Russians are our enemies until the day…

I call them terrorists and extremists. The terms apply to them better than the bastardized meanings they’ve appropriated the terms for.

“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”- President Lyndon B. Johnson
