On the off chance that this comment isn’t entirely made-up, here’s my advice: If you have the luxury of waiting to start a career until you feel like the time is right for you, then be fucking grateful for it. Most of us don’t, so what to do about our careers and finances *right now* is a little more pressing for us.

But the “supposed pay gap” does not enter when men get married and/or have children. And no man has ever in his entire life asked why he doesn’t make as much as his female colleague and been told it’s because he was so foolish as to have children. All the knots you can tie in the statistics do not erase that very…

Dujour means crash positions!

Because Being a Hot Girl = Good. Thinking You Are a Hot Girl = Bad. I mean, come on, ladies, what’s so confusing about that? It’s a simple rule!

YOU ARE GOING TO LOVE IT SO MUCH

I wish your post were still available, that sounds great!

I don’t think it’s so much a “fear of missing out” on harassment as it is the implicit exclusion from the Club of Real Women Having Real Women’s Experiences. When the actual article starts out with “women are not a monolith, but for real, y’all, this is EVERY WOMAN’S STORY,” it’s easy to get the message, yet again,…

God, SO TRUE. And if you’re on the fence about this, try listening to our music sometime. 95% of songs from the heyday of Gen X are about “I HAVE ALL THESE FEELINGS, what am I supposed to do with these?” It was the absolute high point of earnest-confessional songwriting.

Feminism isn’t about making choices; feminism is about making feminist choices.

“Watching Teens and Feeling Nothing” is Tumblr’s new company motto, isn’t it?

oh my lord, how is this possibly still confusing? If you invite someone to dinner, you buy them dinner. In what world would you not?

I'm amazed for how many people this seems to be a thing. I've lived with my partner 13 years and I'm pretty sure we've never simultaneously pooped and showered. Why would you need to do that? Your partner is showering for like 10 minutes a day! How difficult is it to poop during any of the remaining 1430 minutes? …

They’re not extinct. They run as Democrats now, which explains the problem with both parties.

Because she doesn't mean "It's not for me." She means "It's not for people who are as good as I am." Why is everyone engaging this person making a big fuss about how UNLIKE SOME PEOPLE she wants a monogamous marriage? Good for you, lady. So do most people. But way to stand up for your right to side-eye people who…

The weird thing is that the story makes no sense if you don’t automatically read over “gotten close lately” and “gal pal” with “is now dating” and “girlfriend.” I mean, what? She used to run to her friend for comfort over her ex-boyfriend, but she can’t now, because — it would ruin a — the good thing she has — going…

Yeah, that's honestly a pretty poor tip. MTs aren't making chiropractor money; someone who works in a spa-type setting is probably getting between fifteen and thirty dollars an hour, depending on how high-end a location it is — which sounds like a lot, but you can't physically do more than around twenty contact hours…

The answer to "why" is honestly psychological. People have a sense now of what things "should" cost and what's a "deal." We can't change at this point, because there's no mechanism for everyone changing all together, and it's unreasonable for most salons and spas and whatnot to just start advertising a price that's…

Industry standard for a basic one-hour massage is considered about $80. Tip your therapist $15-20 regardless of the special you get and you'll be good. (Obviously MTs make more than $2 an hour, but at least in my case, tips are almost half my income. That ain't nothing! That's, uh. Half.)

If you're a student in a profession that requires a license, accepting tips is practicing professionally without a license; you can't take any money, or even so much as a cup of coffee, for those services until you have your license in hand.

These are the situations that “nobody cares about your stupid boner” was invented for. You like vulnerable women? Good luck with that. I like people who treat me like a goddamn grown-up. Want a lecture about that? Or do I not get to pontificate to you about what I prefer?
