So now you’re arguing semantics? Jesus Christ, shut up and learn a little without saying, “Wull, if you just said this...”

I got teased, had my bra strap snapped, and got the shit beat out of me. Don’t play the Oppression Olympics.

I WANT TO LIVE IN THE BABA YAGA HOUSE WHEN I AM OLD

Actually, a slut is a woman who fucks for fun, just like a man.

{{sends hugs}} Never feel lonely. For all its shittiness, the internet is a powerful place to connect with people, even if only in virtual way (and from the greys, where I appear to be destined to languish forevers) ((and I’m totally not sending hugs for being ungreyed. Loneliness is the fucking worst))

*timidly raises hand*

Simple answer to “Guys don’t do that” is “I’m not a guy.”

I was able to have a very rousing re-education session with my then 17 year old son and his 18 year old buddy when they referred to a girl at school as a “slut”. I like to believe they came away from the discussion with a better understanding of how “slut” was a double standard.

“Diet Woke” made me snort Red Bull all over my keyboard. Oh, my sinuses. And my poor keyboard. This laptop is a trooper.

The eldes of my Tiny Feminist War Clan was worried boys might see her tampons if they fell out of her backpack. “They’ll make fun of me, Mom” was her rejoinder.

When my daughters started their periods, I asked them to wrap their pads/tampons when they put them in the trash.

Shit, I’ll have to pick up a few new pairs of wedges. I’ve just about worn mine out. And for those who want to whine, “What about MisterDisco? What does he think?” I asked him (he’s 5'10, I’m 5'8, so the height disparity is significant when I wear tall wedges). His response was a briefer version of “Wear what you…

*waves hand wildly* ME TOO

I’m 5'8" and some change and I love my 5" wedges. I can wear them literally all day, walking the National Mall no less, and shorter men seem intimidated when a woman over 6 feet tall comes striding along. Doesn’t stop the commentary but at least they get out of my way. I will admit, it’s heady being powerful, even…

Holy shit, the messy bun seems to work opposite for me. I thought that the magical “hitting 45" would make men go away (been with MisterDisco for 29 years, no interest, seriously, no interest), but I lost a bunch of weight and that, combined with black rimmed glasses, wild hair, a scary slash of crimson lips, and…

It also works quite well to exfoliate keratosis pilaris (those annoying bumps you get on your arms and legs).

Unfortunately, it appears that Debbie Reynolds died. She had a stroke in the funeral home while making Carrie’s funeral plans. Will this fucking year ever let up?

MisterDisco and I (both white) use German when we don’t want people eavesdropping on our conversations. No one has ever called us out on it (other than the rare occurrence of someone delightedly asking if we’re from Germany).

This story warms the cockles of my dead heart.

My response to “I regret my abortion” was “At least you had the means and access to one, you sniveling bitch.” I’ve never had an abortion, I’ve had one miscarriage and four kids, but if I found myself pregnant today despite assiduously taking birth control, I’d be at the doc’s office lickety-split. I don’t begrudge…
