Women, I think, get a lot of this pressure. Pressure to be in a relationship. Pressure to have a baby. Pressure to focus on family and making your spouse happy. Pressure to fit into society’s norms of beauty. It’s exhausting. Sometimes, we just need someone to confirm that it’s okay to let go.

This. So much this. Too often women (and other minorities) stand there, gut churning, knowing and feeling how wrong the situation is, how uncomfortable they are, but social pressure and peer pressure keeps them rooted to the spot, not sure what to do, and with no one they can call on for help, because the people…

When I was having doubts about my ex’s feelings for me, you’d be surprised how many friends, feminists, and family members tried to talk me out of my doubts. My parents were the worst of all. My ex didn’t help because when I brought up the notion that maybe he didn’t like me all that much and we should break up, he…

I can think of times in my life when my gut failed to pick up on danger, but I cannot think of any time when it warned me and I was wrong.

And that right there sounds exactly like my Uncle’s garage. But god forbid you wore anything remotely sexual. You wouldn’t want people thinking you were a slut, now, would you?

We (as women) are so socialized to disbelieve or dismiss our guts. Even now, as a grown-assed woman, if I state a ‘nope’ position based on what my gut tells me, I get pushback from women as often as men. “I’m sure it’s not so bad!” “Give him a chance!” “But he’s Faaaaaamily.” You don’t even need to ask how often my…

Oh thank god, are we allowed to just openly hate on Tucker Max now?

Dude, what?

Or had a friend record him having sex with a woman without her knowledge.

If Amy Schumer had chosen him as a ghost writer/co-author you really don’t think Jez would be having a field day with this?

i don’t know, the fact that he’s now making her book all about himself? that’s definitely something. 

When done properly, amoral audacity is hilarious (just look at the Marx Brothers movies)

These two haven’t been getting papped a lot lately and I’m starting to think it’s because they’re boring as hell.

Gotta have the middle-aged white man on the show. How else could a show function over the long-term!

Obama is the best. He doesn’t even have to do this stuff anymore but look at him, out and about. Meanwhile the shitstain in the White House is trying his best to destroy everything good in this world.

I follow his now ‘retired’ official photographer on instagram (and you should too @petesouza) and it’s pretty much a regular sanity nostalgia tour. Souza’s descriptions of the scenes and taking the photos help too, but the photos themselves just are simultaneously comforting, and like a knife in the gut.

What was disturbing about it was that I couldn’t get laid again for another two years.

OK, I read the part about how the mom lied to doctors about the kid’s condition, but... these are medical fucking professionals. They can tell whether a kid is sick or not, whether he has cancer or not, whether he needs certain tests or not. I get that some of these might be necessary but... 13 fucking surgeries?…

Props to the guy for standing up.
