Yay, another advice column junkie! My top two are Thatz Not Okay and Dear Prudence. Prudie gives some terrible advice at times, but I still love her. Caity is just a treasure, but dammit, she needs to pay more attention to Thatz Not Okay.
Any story that has "Gets Kicked In the Dick" in the headline is A-ok in my book.
My best friend is a 5'3" tiny woman, and she runs all the time. Once she was alone and a dude on his bike smacked her ass. So she shoved him off his bike and yelled, "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT WEARING A HELMET, ASSHOLE!!!" and then ran off.
Shared this with a friend from across the country who actually works at a comics shop and also happens to be black, and has many amusing stories about casual nerd racism. He had a pretty good comment I'm going to paraphrase here.
Him: "Okay, so if my shop had a room that everyone called 'dead nigger storage', think…
As long as you don't demand six recommendations, go "gross" or "my kids won't eat that" at each one, ask me to recite the ingredients of each one twice, then order plain cheese, you're fine.
When taking the order, you professionally and politely say something like, "Now, that is just the entrée, would you like anything to go with it? Perhaps [side x] or [side y]? [Side z] is a personal favorite of the chef."
I cannot wait for all the fun because I just got married four weeks ago and I kept my name. And I will dare someone to forget my doctor title.

My son has high functioning autism. I heard him say this recently, to a friend, over Xbox Live-
Whatever it is that you're doing, you need to put it on hold. Feeding your baby? STOP IT. Filing divorce papers? …
Yeah, I've never seen any of these militant feminists that they're claiming to be "fighting back" against, I've only seen posts where men write the most ridiculous thing they can think of over a picture of a woman making an ugly face and title it something like "Feminazis, Am I Right!!??!?!" I'm pretty sure this…
I used to browse imgur on my iPad before going to bed to end my day with a laugh. Now I can't, because the sheer amount of casual misogyny is infuriating. Plus the obvious "Here's something that no feminist ever said, but if they did I would totally own them by saying this!" posts just really started to bum me out.
