Is it wrong that I want to make that painting into a flashing misandry gif?

And thank the gods! If men weren't there to open the door, I'd just be left out there for eternity, a bit like Cathy's ghost in Wuthering Heights. HEATHCLIFF! OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!

Who knew Mansplain Shark was so eloquent?

Could women survive if men started treating women the way they treat other men? I say that they'd be tears by lunchtime in every office in the Western world and cries of "why do you hate me?" from women everywhere.

My dad wouldn't have beaten the shit out of me, but he would have grabbed me, hit me on the backside, put me in the car and driven home. My dad understood that people don't want to hear kids screaming in a public place and that sometimes parenting means you can't go out to places you want to go because your child

More wisdom from the vault, eh, Geraldo?

We're driving in the car and of course I text and drive

"We're driving in the car and of course I text and drive,"

wow, thanks so much for the hearty mansplanation of maternity leave! You're right, taking time off to shove a watermelon out of my cooter IS just a delicious, wonderful choice I'm making - just like a man wanting to backpack through Europe! In fact, I really planned badly by not having my husband do the whole

It's always such a disappointment thinking I have pockets in a pair of pants only to realize they are the fake ones!

Every single piece of writing on the site is even more comically horrible than I had imagined. Every paragraph contains every marker of a bad-writer-trying-to-sound-artsy-and-irreverent — every dumb turn of phrase ("Steve, that is") and every stupid platitude (trite imagery intended to convey that I'm secretly a
