No matter how much power men get, they never lose their ability to be afraid of girls.

Worked in customer service: yes, we do make up dumb rules. Usually it's because the real rule is hard to explain, or causes offense when you try to explain it - say "we're required to blah blah blah because sometimes, people try to take blah blah blah and haven't paid for it" and you're sure to get a complaint that…

Bringing it up with the attendant then and there...is NOT going to change the policy.It's not going to change the situation.

No, it's okay to ask for a last name to lodge a complaint. I personally am not comfortable with giving mine, so I give my last initial, which works just as well in terms of identifying me. Even in his tweet, he only used her last initial to lodge a complaint. He probably figured that if he asked for her last name, he…

No, asking for a belligerent employee's last name doesn't mean that you want to look them up outside work. It means you want to be precise when you report them.

What posh4posh said. I don't like defending this guy, but I think a Southwest employee took a regular doucheface customer and turned him into a steaming pool of social media No.

I'm normally very pro-service agents, but assuming this guy is telling the truth... a complaint is not a threat and it's certainly not a reason to be pulled from a flight. Even if he was (and it does seem he was) 100% wrong about being able to board early with his kids, that still doesn't change the fact that a…

I, like some of you, am a woman who has been raped. An ex boyfriend, some one who I trusted and was intimate with, one night decided that "yes" was he answer even though I said "no, stop don't". And the next day, I knew, *knew* like a fucking cosmic truth that I could talk to any cop or paper or friend and show…

I don't think my father, the inventor of Toaster Strudel, would be very happy to hear about this...

Asking for a favor and being polite when it is denied isn't entitled. At no time does the woman in this text exchange say or act as if she's owed anything. She knows it's a favor, she asks nicely, when told the terms of the deal and realizing she is uncomfortable with or incapable of complying, she pretty much says…

She didn't get offended because she didn't get a comp table. She said "Thanks anyway" and tried to drop it. He wouldn't let it go and kept haranguing her. What was offensive was that he referred to fat women as whales and hippos.

Hold on a sec. She doesn't think the club "owes" her. Other clubs have comped her tables before, and they comp bachelor parties as well. She didn't like his requirements and simply couldn't fulfill them (she didn't have the pictures of the invitees, as most of them didn't know each other). So she said, "Thanks anyway!…

They were offended? Where does it say that? From the conversation posted, the woman was neither offended, nor demanding. She asked, she was denied, she said ok, thanks anyway, and tried to disengage. It was the asshole who kept insisting her friends might be hippos and whales and droning on about it. She was perfectly…

Where does she say or act like she's owed anything? She asked and was refused, and said thanks anyway and tried to disengage. But he wouldn't stop talking about hippos and whales and hitting her over the head with their "hot girls only" rule.

Wait, I agree about libraries, but what adult at a park is making a kid playing there their business? Like, a park ranger I have sympathy for. A busybody parent? Not so much.

I rarely go to the movies, but I voted with my wallet to support Belle and Obvious Child recently.

Hollywood actresses: We need more movies about women and PoC.

I'm always kind of wary whenever people start with the "I ran around by myself when I was a kid and I'm fine" As someone that spent the bulk of their time from ages 9-14 left alone to care for a much younger siblings let me tell you, there is a world of difference between an unsupervised adventure and "Mommy has to…

I am from Aiken, and spent countless hours as a kid playing outside with my brother and friends there. Without parents. My brother and I turned out just fine...he's a doctor, I'm a scientist. We were in no way neglected. It was the 80's and this was standard during the summer for every kid I knew. There's pretty…

Also, one is black and the other is not.
