Not in a snotty way, but — how old are you? Because I remember the entirety of the 80s and 90s being taken up with hand-wringing about why The Young People weren't embracing the label of feminism. Heck, when Lilith Fair was happening, Sarah McLachlan was all over the place explaining that this wasn't a *feminist*…

"Stupid lasagna" is a perfect term.

I'm at the point where I star your articles without even reading them. (I did read it after I starred it though). Another great piece. I'm ENDLESSLY amused that this woman is still doubling down on "if you read my piece you would get that it's a compliment." Pro-tip: If the subject of your compliment feels insulted,…

Well, I think even completely tiny boobs have some room for an implant, but the sternum is a pretty small area with kind of taut skin. I imagine putting an implant in there would be like having a sports bra type uni-boob, but like under your skin....

P.S. This is why I asked her - because this was one of the responses I got to asking her:

Comments like mine reinforce stereotypes about feminism? I followed this article over from Jezebel (where it was cross-listed) to find people spouting off about how men are oppressed too. That has nothing to do with anything in this article. All that my comment did was ask Kat if it was always like this while acknowled…

Holy shit, way to prove me right. Seriously?!

It's untrue? Be sure to let me know when all the guys at a construction site catcall you. When a bunch of guys on the corner give a commentary on what you're wearing, your body, and how you ought to be smiling.

Then perhaps you can tell me all about how sad it is for the poor mens that they get stuck running all the…

Oh god this old argument again. All of these things you are angry about? Feminism would love to fix them, no seriously. You know why more men die in industrial accidents? Women haven't been allowed to play. And please don't act like you are oppressed because the patriarchy pays more attention to breast cancer. That's…

Oh my god, Kat. This is a great article, but my first wander over to Jalopnik. Is it always like this? Are they really this "what about the menz"y? I think I need to nopetopus away from this comment section, yikes!

Women might have different needs than male drivers but the color pink is not one of them.

Ah, but it isn't a two way street and it isn't a level playing field. That's kind of the whole point about institutionalised oppressive frameworks. It's not that unfair messages about or towards men aren't publicised, but rather there's an increasing acknowledgement that the playing field is very much tilted.

Yes, they do. Is it a problem? You bet it is. However, the institutionalised nature of misogyny means a disparate impact.

Why do people never understand this? Sheesh. Thanks for writing this.

Women as a whole or women who have other traits in common, Dick? Because that's the issue here: universalising the experiences of women to lock them into some sort of "woman demographic." You need to start talking about intersections here. Age and class are two big ones you should immediately be considering.

I represent the philosophy majors. Locke me up and throw away the key!

Dear Rebecca,

I have a great idea for your next series. It involves you setting up an OKC profile. And then, y'know. Being Burt. Lots of screencaps.

I know this is a lot of work for you and that your S.O. might object, but I encourage you to ignore all those things in favor of the truly hysterical end results that I…

I would live and die for all three of my children. Each one is precious in my eyes. I also wish I did not become a Dad. I'm not nearly as good at it as I had hoped. I feel like there is no refuge or sanctuary when things get really difficult. The peaceful moments either never happen or are far too short and few. …
