Also, one of my favorite Beavis & Butt-Head moments is when a Nina Hagen video comes on and one of them says, “Is this Toyota Jackson?”

Oof, okay I don’t enjoy Steve Harvey and that letter was probably on the wrong side of cunty, but what he’s describing sounds a lot like social anxiety rather than annoyance. I might be giving him way too much credit or reading it wrong, but as someone with crippling social anxiety I can relate to that trapped…
I’m not surprised at all... these are deeply, deeply frustrated little men who are getting off on their taste of power, and let’s face it, these are fratboys at heart. No shock that they indulge in hideous fratboy games. It’s pretty much the culture I expected...
I left the Academy shortly before my third year after I was assaulted aboard a ship and the school refused to investigate my allegations. I remember standing in front of one of the administrators pleading them to at least never send another woman to that ship. They wouldn’t even do that much.
As someone who also has spent a lot of time in male-only units, I concur with what you said, but will add there was usually one sociopath who was the chief instigator. That doesn’t excuse everyone else, however, who for various reasons were complicit in the “fun.”
It’s also a great way of stripping newcomers of any feeling of power in their situation. So then when the instigators are abusing travellers, the newcomers at the very least won’t speak up. Or at the worst will join in to regain some feeling of power.
I’ve mentioned it in the past, but I attended a United States federal military academy. It’s amazing how much gets normalized in small group cultures. Sexual assault as a prank or a form of camaraderie is very common.
Yeah, but he didn’t predict Thicke’s death either. If he said “Your heart’s going to explode in 3 months” I’d be impressed but telling a middle aged guy to watch his blood pressure is as impressive as telling some to watch out for getting puked on by a white guy in a Sombrero as they’re about to head to Cabo on May…
That’s because they’re not egregious liars like you, Kellyanne. Sure, there’s plenty of bullshit in politics, but the Clintons and Obama were at a level 5 while the GOP sends the bullshit meter up to 11.
I don’t doubt that Kellyanne Conway experiences sexism, every woman experiences sexism, but this is obviously more of her bullshit. She invalidates her own point by claiming that sexism is a lazy excuse when Hillary Clinton points it out, and then claims that Hillary would never get sexist treatment from the media??…
Wild Don let her out of the hole in the White House basement, at least for now. I guess she’s done a good enough job putting the lotion on her skin.
It must reeeeeaaaaallllyyyyy eat at these clods that everyone against them thinks they’re very, very stupid. Like, beyond stupid. They fancy themselves as super smart, and the adulation of the people that voted for cheetopuff doesn’t mean anything to them because they know that those people are idiots.
I’m not hugely comfortable with the term “bitch slap” but sometimes words have perfect meaning. She is bitch-slappable on so many different levels that I wish I had more than two hands.
