I cannot understand why no one spoke up for her. Especially when the bigot told her to shut the fuck up. No way in hell would I have kept my mouth shut.

As a guy who wears pants that are probably too tight for his own good (although I am yet to receive any complaints ;) ), I don’t find I cannot keep my legs within the confines of my seat when on public transport. While I acknowledged that I’m also fairly slender in statute (narrow hips and shoulders, combined with…

I tried reverse manspreading a pathological manspreader who is always on my 8:08 AM bus and it backfired monumentally. He read my manspread as me was hitting on him by bumping my knee against his as a pretense for him to say “sorry” and then initiate a conversation, which was the OPPOSITE of my intention (as there is…

Interesting topic. I think at its root, feminism is about choice. There are those of us who buy in to fashion and those of us who don’t. There isn’t one “model” of feminism. Am I less of a feminist because I chose to dye my hair and wear makeup? Am I less of a feminist because I chose to wear nice fitting clothes?

I am a woman who is single and financially independent, and if I consult a fashion magazine to try the “newest makeup look,” that’s my damn business. I am a human with critical thinking skills who can read Cosmo and appreciate that they’re trying to make a difference in politics for women, but they may have stupid…

I think this is a conversation that is not for you, and in which you have no stake.

What with dosages, and children’s body weights... possible risks... I’ve found it’s much more efficient to drug myself. Then I don’t care that my child is screaming and everyone hates me.

When my teenaged boys were babies, back in the early days of Internet Complaining (1997—2003), things were different. What changed between now and then was not an increase in germs or a bend in the physical boundaries of airplanes, but a rise in the paranoia around flying and the increasingly infuriating experience…

Thank you so fucking much! Seriously!

This is one of the best mic drops I’ve ever read.

Can a Torontonian with some time and knowledge fill in a few readers on why this is especially heinous, now and in this city, in terms of rape culture? The ongoing trial of Jian Ghomeshi for assaulting women across Toronto? Maybe a list of missing and murdered aboriginal women that’s being ignored by the government?…

It’s the tone; they should have stopped with the director’s quote that “we hear you.” Adding “most are just plain fun!” sounds juvenile, condescending and dumb as hell.

but... but.. why did they just not suggest Ellen...?

Oh I have the best story about a wedding proposal...

Anti-science is the new phrase they use to tell us GMO’s are good because definitely plants should be engineered to resist herbicides so that we can spray more and stronger chemicals and destroy native plants, which in turn is wiping out the bees and the butterflies.

I cannot fucking wait til I can grow my own weed here on Vancouver Island, BC. This island is pretty much made for weed growing.

If you’re pregnant you can only take acetaminophen. Thus ends my knowledge.

Some of my lit students were telling celebrity stories recently, and I happily talked about the time I met Junot Diaz.

I would not say no one in the art world respects him. He is actually written himself into the art history books. Most texts refer to him along with Cindy Sherman as one of the pivitol artists of the post modern era. He’s been doing this crap for over 30 years.... long before the internet.
