I’m semi-sympathetic; I’ve had shitty, soul-crushing jobs. But honestly? A newsroom is full of jerks. This is accepted fact. Newsrooms are notoriously stressful places to work, and the only way one survives is by being a fantastic writer (which she isn’t) and giving as much shit as one gets (which she didn’t want to…

I can kind of vouch for the fish and chips thing, tho. British women do have larger breasts. We also have policemen who don’t need guns and riot gear to deal with criminals. British men aren’t raised on Froot Loops and toxic heteronormativity. They have bigger balls and more humanity than these ’Murkins.

Fascinating. You don’t realize your #1 option is the answer, and is in fact the answer for tens of millions of women, and has been proven statistically and scientifically, time and again. I have no hostility for you, only a reminder that you are part of the problem here. You accuse me of having some kind of false…

Uh, thanks (?) but I’m not trying to date you. I don’t talk to hot guys the way I talk to internet strangers.
Also, sexism is a thing, and I’m happily married now, so whatever I was doing eventually worked. As I mention above, as I got older I got hit on WAY more often.

So you agree that police brutality is a problem, and that no one cares enough when people die while in custody, even if they’ve committed misdemeanors? Great! Welcome to the fight against lethal policing! So glad to have you aboard.

Short version: the quality of men who actually DO pursue you will be ten times higher than the quality of men who pursue all your friends. They will be few and far between, but they will be nice, and they will increase in quality over the years. My husband is Paul Bunyan The Feminist, with big strong muscles and a…

No, it’s like I said: respect or fear. I’m super smart. I’ve watched men’s faces drop when they realize it. As I’ve aged, it’s made me more attractive to men, but when I was young it was a boner killer. One guy who fell for me told me, “Five minutes after I met you, I realized, I’m gonna have to raise my game if I…

YES. I totally agree. I am a smart, attractive, perfectly normal person, and men treat me like I’m invisible. As I’ve grown older I’ve realized that it’s essentially respect or fear, and I did manage to land a nice fella a few years back. But I had two decades of being ignored in my younger days. It sucks. I have…

Oh, wow. That actually explains everything. Seriously. You just answered like 57 million questions and scenarios from my 20s.

YEP. I lived in a penis desert until I got married in my thirties. And I’m cool and pretty and not crazy or anything. Seriously.

UGH. Been there. This exact thing happened to me, and I don’t understand it. Took two years of my life, that so-called “guy friend.”

As far as I know, there isn’t a male equivalent of spinster.

I support this. Reasons:

Someone made a Trump campaign poster.

I think drinking just turns you into an amplified version of your actual self. So, if deep down you’re a dick, you become a larger, more obvious dick. If you’re a sweety pie on the inside, you turn into a hyper vulnerable, public super-sweety pie. But you know... not always in a good way.

Years ago, before this scandal, I heard an interview with Bill Cosby wherein he was asked to give men some marriage advice. His response was, “Always remember that you are not really a husband. In many ways, you are just your wife’s oldest child.”

My cat would have just shrugged and gone back to sleep. Because kitties.

I remember hearing that bleaching during the developing process meant the studio refused to ensure the negative, so David O. Russell was basically on the hook for $10 million if he fucked it up. I like to think that fear contributes to the overall feel of the film. That, plus the threat of George Clooney kicking his…

Read the book. Even better than the film.

I have a huge mane of naturally curly hair. I cannot go into Subway because that smell, that Subway smell, gets in my hair and will. not. come. out. until I wash my hair, which is not even close to every day, because curly hair is this whole thing you wouldn’t understand, so don’t even tell me it’s not that bad. It…
