Yeah, because the only way 42-year-olds could possibly look youthful is plastic surgery. Christ, how old is this writer anyway? Who cares, she’ll be 29 tomorrow and 40 ten minutes after that, and after the shock of how it happened so fast wears off she might actually feel bad for perpetuating ageism.

I’ve been “it’s not about you!”-ing all over the ding-dang place today myself, but this is a flawless response

yes

yawn

OK, fair enough. I am sorry for choosing to pick on you individually when I was probably collectively annoyed at several other comments (and honestly, given the hand-wringing apologies to everyone that isn’t a hetero white guy that I have seen elsewhere, your comment is not the worst by far). This is indeed a shitty…

I’m going to type this very slowly so you can understand. I have zero objections to anyone pointing out icebergs. When the OP said “Hey, there’s an iceberg!” back on 10/13/16, you will notice I was nowhere to be found, let alone did I voice any objections. However, stating that one “hates being right” and linking back…

I’m sorry—are you psychic? You have no idea what I thought about the outcome of this election, because, unlike some people, I didn’t make any predictions that I can now link back to to show how prescient I am.

It is not the linked article that I disagree with; it is the dozens of white guys all over the comments at these sites making apologies to the rest of us, pointing out their “woke”ness, and otherwise drawing unneeded attention to themselves, much like the ur-brah of this behavior, Michael Moore—did you know that Moore…

I’m sure this comment makes sense to you.

Yeah, I’m not a man. Really sick of attention-seeking white dudes (taking a wild guess here) all over these threads, though. Read a fucking room, man.

Right. That’s why you needed to make it ABOUT YOURSELF.

You could have just said that without the added faux-consternation about “being right.”

Is there a reason why people do this? I mean link to their earlier comments to prove that they were correct in their predictions? Do you want us to congratulate you?

I’m with LLWL. Maybe just stop talking.

yeah but here you are in a community of women, making it all about you and your feelings. dudes gonna dude.

YOU feel powerless? really? that’s where you want to go with this?

and that accomplishes nothing. my daughter will still grow up in a country where the president considers her nothing more than a collection of warm holes. your precious feelings—i don’t care.

Fuck off and get your woke points somewhere else.

Are YOU fucking kidding me
