Then there’s this guy: http://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-sh…

And a hand tat. Kids today!

THIS. It happens. Some teenagers are precocious and don’t relate to people in their age group as well as they do to older people. When I was 16 I dated a 22 year old guy for a little while. I enjoyed it and he was respectful of my physical boundaries. I didn’t suffer any damage. BUT - looking back, do I think he was…

haha, no one will hire them at restaurants.

I’m sure she used to be able to eat like that but not any more. When I was in my 20s I ate all kinds of crap and never gained weight. And I’m much shorter than she is. My tall mom basically still eats like that. Anyway, it sounds like she’s had to work much harder to maintain her figure post-kids, which is totally…

Can’t he eat meat, though? G is veg sometimes, it said.

OMG this happened to me this past summer! They made me feel crazy. It was so weird watching this slo-mo junior high mean girl take over my 43 year old friend. And apros pro of this post, she had been diagnosed with Graves Disease, which makes you mean, apparently. But only mean to me and one other friend, who sadly…

I’m a woman who loves women writers, but I was never into Jane Austen in the way that a lot of young literary women are. Elena Ferrante seems to tap into something similar that just doesn’t do it for me.

Sheesh, no one is putting down virgins. It’s unlikely because hormones, emotions, puberty, mass media. It’s not impossible or necessarily weird and wrong, but it is unusual in this day and age, yeah.

Yeesh. There are white guys who I can tell are a little disappointed when I tell them I’m part Latina. There are others that are into it, for all the wrong reasons of course (sexual availability). I know it’s annoying, but there is some privilege in being seen as more desirable because of race.

Good company for Amy to be in!

I don’t know, she hasn’t been saying go fuck yourself to anyone, though. Just laughing it all off.

But “skill at dealing with assholes” is at some point just enabling behavior. Whatever, it is starting to make sense why she stars in all his films. Personally I’d rather be on Team Lily Tomplin and Amy Adams. What great company to be in.

She is like those women who are so extroverted that it doesn’t ever look like they suffer the crippling self-doubt that comes from introspection, and are also kind of part of the boys club because they let a lot of bad behavior slide. It’s actually not good for other women, because those men (like DOR) then continue…

Wait, but don’t you live in Williamsburg too? With roommates though? Anyway. I feel like I know a lot of women who have mystery money for spa things and clog boots, and I think their parents pay the credit card bills or something.

REALLY?

This is exactly the nuance that I was looking for.

I’m inclined to agree that she is better prepared, but I really disagree with Steinem’s statement and those of other Hillary supporters that we’re somehow brainwashed if we critique her positions on certain things.

Why isn’t this grounds to force retirement of those old dudes and fucking hire some struggling young and less rapey academics?

I know! Lena Olin is Swedish. Thanks for the background. She has an interesting look.
