We're a family of three (two adults and one child) and we each make about $40k each (so close to $80k in household income), and we really don't have "general vacation money." We pay on the low end for daycare since we go to one out of someone's home, but we still pay $560/month. My student loans eat up another $600…

And lots of it.

The subtle shit that happens to me is stuff like being asked to cut and serve cake during group parties or being asked to help set up or clean up events.

At 27 I am still clinging to my favourite - pink sugar. I know its meant for younger girls but I love it! I guess it works for my chemistry tho because even strangers tell me how good it smells. (This is usually fine except for one time when a guy my dad's age actually followed me around all night trying to smell me,…

At my current job, I’ve never seen a man make the coffee. I only make it when I’m the one to finish the pot. Unlike some of my female coworkers who are willing to become servants. Fuck that!

(Un)fair enough if it’s official and part of their job descriptions. I just feel a bit protective of the role I guess- it’s a starting job for a lot of young women (my first was as an exec. assistant) and I see a lot of attitude from people who seem to think that they are general P.A.s for anyone in the department.…

Oh dude. I hear you. My boss actually called me a “den mother”. I’m the GM of a consulting company. I get asked about cookies and Christmas cards all the time. I also found out a year into the job that I was getting paid less than a male subordinate and was given a raise to just barely more than him in exchange for…

Also, no man has to face a choice between artfully conveyed sass and being taken seriously. Sass is gendered.

I work at a small company with just 2 female employees. Routinely I am told that the toilet paper has run out....

Love this comment but just wanted to add (in defense of the amazing admin. assistants in our department) that a lot of those things aren’t admin. assistant jobs either.

I despise the rule that women over "insert age" should not have long hair. Luckily, I'm blessed with thick wavy Italian hair, I have 4 kids, and have always rocked my long hair. I'm 52 and it's at my waist. When said kids were little, braids, ponytails, buns, etc. Same for work. I get the most compliments on my…

I don't fundamentally disagree with anything you're saying, and I imagine much of boils down to my cynicism.

Well, the answer to the question is very simple.

It's not "policing" to say, as I have, "She looks ill, like something's not right with her physically." and to wonder what's going on.

Yeah, any time I hear that it's like, "dude, and you wonder why some women find it kind of degrading?"

I get a new one because I have a right to have an orgasm. If he can't deal with the "pressure," he needs therapy, not to use my body without having the ability and willingness to get me off. It's not rocket science. It's actually not that difficult. You just need to give a damn. If you don't, you're history. And if…

Yeah, I mean, what the fuck is this shit? I feel like I might be disproportionately angry about this, but it's an attitude I've encountered a few too many times. NO ONE is obligated to perform any sex act they don't enjoy, or just don't feel like doing, or what have you. And there are plenty of men who don't give a…

Right? 'Oh no guys! I looked at the world's blowjob inventory and there are missing blowjobs! We counted them all! A few are missing. Why isn't this cat lady coming up with the missing blowjobs?!"

I saw this last week, and the whole thing just enrages me. The fact that she doesn't want to do it but expects men to eat her out (Tracy, you make hella good points about why that's okay, and I'm a lot less pissed about it now but I was seeing red last week). The fucking disgusting misogynistic responses to it, like…
