Probably because they didn’t know. I just am reading this now and am on my lunch break so can’t go anywhere til I finish eating :/

I am alone. There’s 5 thousand people attending this college and I am alone out here. How did this happen?

Exactly.

It never ceases to amaze me that they think that not getting on the Supreme Court is going to “ruin a life.” By that silly metric, they were perfectly happy ruining Merrick Garland’s life for the crime of getting nominated by a Black president.

The thing is as a teenager I was drunk at a lot of parties and yet a friend and I never held down a girl and covered her mouth to keep her from screaming. Strange...

Over and over, my attention keeps going to the conservative women defending this piece of shit and casting doubt on the accusations. What’s most amazing to me is - Dr. Ford IS those women, even though she votes Democrat now and seems like a nice moderately-progressive white lady. She grew up in a conservative,…

“If that’s the new standard, no man will ever qualify for the Supreme Court again.”

“Unless there’s something more, no, I’m not going to ruin Judge Kavanaugh’s life over this”

This. I also think a big factor is that girls are socialized to maintain appearances. Girls, more than boys, have a sense that they are “seen.” (Which they are. From birth. Female infants are monitored more anxiously by their parents.) They are less likely to risk looking bad.

Perfectionism is a blight on (first world) humanity and it affects women more detrimentally than men. All these women I know trying to be the best at school, best at work, best mom, best cook, best homes with best husbands. They want the best bodies so they can still compete sexually—starvation diets and breast…

I wonder how much of this may also be attributable to this being roughly the age many women report first getting sexual comments and cat calls from/being sexually harassed by boys and men.

Clearly Grassley knew well before Dr. Ford came out, because how else could he have cobbled together the 65 “female friends of Kavanaugh” for release immediately after her story was published? And how many guys still even know 65 friends - much less just female friends - from high school at age 53, having gone to an…

For fuck sake, what could possibly be at stake that the Republicans *need* Kanavaugh, specifically, on the SC? They could just withdraw his nomination and put up someone equally as politically-terrible but *without* sexual assault allegations. You’d think this wouldn’t be a difficult strategy.

I’m so curious about the person who writes the 13,789th comment on a celebrity IG post. They have to know that the person is never going to read it, nor will anyone else. Why bother? Who are these people?

Emma Roberts. I dislike Julia Roberts, so it must be a genetic thing.

I’ve watched the Kardashians exactly once. It was an episode where Kim and Khloe are trying to sign their grandmother up for online dating. In the personal information, they are asked her ethnicity-white, black, hispanic, asian, pacific islander...and they have NO idea what a pacific islander is. They finally decide…

As a dude who has always been drawn to female heroes I’m saddened that Kim Kardashian or women who want to be like her think their value is in their looks still think it’s cute to pretend to be stupid. I appreciate her going to the WH to promote the cause of prison/sentence reform but it’s very depressing it takes a…

👏. “Adulting” is one of those words I can’t fucking stand. People who use it needs to shut the fuck up. “Omg haha I have to buy my own toilet paper such an adult! Ahhh I have to wake up at 7am for work... adulting!!” And you’re right, where/when in society have we started rewarding this dumbed down behavior?

The proud, clearly fake, ignorance is what pisses me off.
