because they are gross

I dunno, that was quite the shocker when I first read it so can see that still being true.

This is my second year hosting my own tiny Thanksgiving where I invite my friend*, and we get Indian food and watch movies and hang out and it is amazing and fun and I am never going to family Thanksgiving with all my weird-ass, Trump-voting, condescending, uptight, anti-choice, let’s-argue-for-fun relatives ever…

Of course not. She is a *medium* person.

This is the BEST news!

Pretty sure the person I replied to dismissed my comment so I’ll just post it here, addressing all People Who Don’t Understand Why Proposing Sex to Coworkers/Fellow Professionals Is Bad:

Yeah, he did molest his daughter. Not sure why that is so fucking hard to believe except for his decades-long campaign undermining his ex-wife so his marrying her daughter (who he undoubtedly groomed while living as her stepfather) must’ve really worked on you.

Stories are cropping up about him though. It’s looming.

I wish I felt surprised but Mad Men is a show that knows a lot about how a man who believes that he truly likes some specific women and thinks of those specific women as worthy and possibly even equals still constantly abuses his power over women.
