I work in higher education. Before that, I worked in the private and non-profit sectors, and even had a stint doing civil service for the military. Hands down, the most insane “soft” sexism is definitely in education. Give me a balls-out man beast who tries to grab my tits any day over the subtle bullshit, the…

Oh my god, you kids.

Dear America:
Jeremy Clarkson is an talentless, racist, right-wing cunt. Only UKIP-supporting assholes think he's funny back home. Stop assigning him, and everyone with a "traditional" British accent/appearance, automatic genius wit status which they have not earned. You are not helping.
Love,
Prince Charles (probably)

I took the AP History test in high school and got a perfect score of 5. My teacher was super mad at me because I hadn't studied and I was a little bitch in class all year. Showed up late, made snarky comments because she was a Republican, etc. I was also the only person in her class who managed to score that high. I…

Forget chopsticks. Can we have a conversation about how only 3% of Americans know how to use a knife and fork properly? Drives me nuts.

Evidence based? Not absolutist? Kettle? Pot?

Everything is so terrible for her. I... I just have so much pity for Lena, you know? It sucks being born into unimaginable privilege and having people listen to you and reward your piss-poor efforts your whole life. It sucks so hard. I really hope she's having a good MLK Day, because his struggle is something she…

Ugh. This does not help me with my current marital/best friend crisis. Anybody got a silver dollar I can toss?

Am I the only one who got her Wozniaks confused? Because I totally clicked on this story thinking it was intended as ironic bait for people who hate Apple products and all persons associated with them.

Woody Allen was NEVER charged with a crime. This is because an independent panel of psychiatrists determined after a six-month investigation that no abuse took place. One, one single solitary prosecutor was willing to go forward with the case, but decided not to because he didn't have enough evidence.

Because nothing speaks for the silent victim like a cross-embossed sledgehammer and 35% commission. Plus expenses.

For the record, this year the hubs and I gave her a really cool pink stripey hardcover edition of Mary Poppins. The book. Legos next year.

I wish all you people would come over to my place and train my in-laws on Christmas etiquette. Seriously. I'll spike up the egg nog real special for ya.

So, last Christmas my six-year-old niece got an iPod and a digital camera. She did not ask for these things. Her parents did not give her the "that was expensive, so take care of it" talk either. They presented her with these items on Christmas Eve, at our house, with very little ceremony. She got her "real" presents…

This is a dealbreaker for me with any person, young or old. If you want to talk during a movie, watch it in your living room. Other people did not pay to hear you, they paid to sit in the dark and eat Milk Duds and have a moment to themselves. Stop trying to steal other people's happiness. Even my mean, grumpy,…

Yeah, you need to break your engagement. Sorry, but I'm speaking as a woman here. Normal chicks do not do that. That's some seriously entitled behavior, and it's only going to get worse. You're about to spend the rest of your life trying to fill up an empty, empty hole.

Uh, no. I was raised in the 70s and 80s, and this kind of thing was very, very common. It's just that no one talked about it. It was usually isolated to rich kids and football players in my experience. Good parents actively discouraged their daughters from going anywhere near either one in my hometown. My mother was…

Quotes out of context are my itchiest peeve.

This is seriously exactly like my first apartment in London. (I was 21 and alone, and it was cheap.) Here's hoping these residents only have to live in places like this for a short time.

YES. There are people who watch the show regularly who didn't pick up on the subtext in that scene. Hands down one of the best-acted scenes in the history of television, because he was saying everything for a totally different reason. Why didn't people get that??!
