Yeah, I’ve made my peace with the fact that, while she wrote one book that I greatly love, the rest of her is complicated to put it mildly. She’s got a problematic track record of understanding contemporary feminist issues, despite The Handmaid’s Tale, and she definitely has a tendency toward the sort of old person

Look, I enjoy her books. But I have met her in person and it was ... very off-putting. She made inappropriate comments (like old person fuddy-duddyness, not targeted aggression) about my friend being both married to a woman and a mom, and she was so full of herself (I get it, rightly so in most ways) that it was like

Here in Canada Meghan was shilling for a lower-end women’s clothing retail chain called Reitman’s. I just can’t get past her being the Reitman’s pitchwoman.

A close guy friend of mine explained to me that men are usually the last to know that their relationships are ending. Men in relationships tend to tune out their partners because guys figure women complain about everything anyway and most of that unhappiness gets worked out. So by the time the relationship is done,

I faced similar shit when I tried to get a raise to at least be on par with my male coworker.

I’m happy to see this. Let’s make sure Canada doesn’t get away with their burial of indigenous genocide by one symbolic gesture. There’s still so much racism in Canada that needs to be acknowledged. #mmiw

It’s all a case of the Cosby doth protest too much. Same thing with Pence and his homophobia and over the top conservative image. That guy is having gay orgies in a dungeon on a weekly basis.

Women do so many small things for men that they miss immediately and so naturally they need to find another woman to ease their way through life.

PETA’s the Trump of animal rights activism.

So everyone EXCEPT for celebrities know that PETA is a horrible organization that does not in fact further animal welfare?

Fuck PETA. They aren’t about what they want you to think they’re about.

Don’t apologize Keith. Someone had to say it.

They are a testament to what public schools can produce if students have support at home and in well-funded schools.

I agree and disagree with you. There are points of contention and confusion that need to be cleared up. However, this was not one of those points.

I spent most of my senior English class this morning talking down students who are super stressed about being shot at school. One kid told me she just plans to play dead if it happens and that broke my heart because they shouldn’t live in a world where they have a plan if someone walks into their school with a gun.

We channel all our rage into ice sports. Hockey, figure skating, curling. You’ve never seen incandescent fury until you’ve seen a friendly gathering of portly, middle-aged, sweetheart-looking Canadians all shrieking, “SWEEP! SWEEEEEEEP!” at a TV.

One good this is that Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded the Special Olympics. Joe was a piece of shit, but something good did come out of this.

Now, if she managed to get his face onto (into?) her vagina, and not, say, just onto her vulva, that would definitely be a feat of athletic prowess worthy of a medal.

My daughter has Down Syndrome. She’s a-fucking-mazing. And super cute. We found out from early pre-natal testing, and for five minutes, I did consider aborting and trying again. But I knew that I couldn’t be that person who ran away from something challenging. And after all, she was my baby.
