she “dyed my hair blue. Mom wasn’t a fan of this decision. She took one look at me and immediately went out to the nearest drugstore to buy a $10 box of Nice’n Easy. That night, she forced me to dye my hair back to blond.”

making the staff buy lemonade from your stand = little punk

As someone with a mohawk and tattoos: We punks respectfully refuse your application to join our club.

Let’s just talk logistics: there is zero way a teenager with a box of Nice & Easy dye could go from blue to blonde, especially with fresh blue dye. Zero. Zip. Not happening. Anyone who has ever dyed their hair ever would know this.

“ripped corduroy jeans and flannel shirts”=/= punk

Back to blonde...

Don’t go blaming the mother, now. Did they not have a father?

“but Spencer has since threatened to sue over free speech rights”

This is from last year, but Lindy West nails it again:

Oooooh I got your anthem alright.

fuck mayim bialik

And it’s like, no we’re not harpies for going off on people for “you should smile” comments. I know the difference between a well-meaning friend/acquaintance trying to cheer me up vs. an absolute creep.

The crazy way they react when you bluntly call them on their bullshit often ends up just making things worse.

Jesus Christ, is there a woman in Hollywood this hasn’t happened to?

women shouldn’t have to share personal details of their lives in order to be believed and supported. i wish this shit wasn’t neccessary.

Men get so uncomfortable when women don’t laugh or smile back at their stupid comments, like it’s our fault for not “getting it.”

When did this whole ‘telling women to smile’ bullshit start? “Hey, smile!!!” WTF, strange and creepy man, fuck off and mind your own fucking business.

“I’m still learning that I don’t have to smile when a man makes me uncomfortable”

Because instead of men being groomed to be ashamed of sexually abusing women, etc, women are groomed to be ashamed of our sexuality.
