I needed a warning for "Hard-Knock Life."

And that, mansplainers, is how you tell a strangers to smile.

Seems like they're going the Hannigan isn't really so awful route, and probably leaving the real evil to Rooster & Lily, like the Carol Channing film did. Also like a lot of other stuff is different. And I'm actually completely fine with it. Will watch.

I will never understand the mentality of people who go to a restaurant to torment a server. I go to enjoy the company of the people I am with and the food I am eating. If there is a hiccup along the way, hopefully it gets resolved, but I have never wanted to throw a chicken at a waitresses chest.

Thank GOD you're here to explain the laziest and least nuanced perspective to us. WHERE would we have heard that point of view if not from you?

I love it when men explain things to me. How else would I know things?

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry! I thought we could have opinions on what we like to see in genres we enjoy! My mistake, clearly. Please do go on.

This totally just me talking as a dude but I remember the moment when I learned that women experience and fear things like this:

I dislike pop music and think Swift is a goofball, but the beauty of "Shake it Off" is that she's basically saying she doesn't give a shit what people like me think.

True dat. If you mean it as a compliment, and you wanted her to feel nice about herself, then surely you'd be mortified and apologetic that it had the opposite effect? Oh, no, you don't give a shit about her feelings, so you probably didn't mean it as a compliment.

Yes and they actually consider women declining their "polite propositions" to be an attack on them. Because we are essentially malfunctioning—we're meant to decorate their world and accept their degradation and abuse with grins on.

Men get very angry when you challenge their entitlement to do whatever the fuck they want.

May this become the rallying cry of all plebes* who still eat gluten: I SAVE BREAD!**

This is the first time I have ever been genuinely curious as to who the d-bag was. Any guesses?

BTW I now need to read some spenser

Her daughter isn't avoiding touch. Her daughter is touching on her terms. That sounds healthy to me.

I really adore this video. Particularly that you can tell the girls understand and believe in what they are saying and aren't just reciting something. It also must have been a ton of fun for them to make!

I'm not a fan of using kids to push an agenda (I still think of those small kids taken out of school for abortion protests on my campus)... but holy fucking shit, that fucking video was fucking awesome.

Shrayber, if I never have the opportunity to say something here (or anywhere else, for that matter) ever again, I'd just like to say how very glad I am that you're here at Jez. Much like oases in deserts, lights at the end(s) of tunnels, hope in a hopeless world, the tenor in a barbershop quartet, all puppies and…

This was my FAVORITE movie when I was in first grade. I was straight-up obsessed with it. My son is in first grade now and asked my favorite movie so we did a movie day and watched it. He was like "Where are they?" and I said "They're at an orphanage" and when he asked what's that I said "Well, it's a place that kids…

Only ice cubes I've ever been impressed by—frozen coffee ice cubes, so your iced coffee doesn't get watered down. These "artisanal" cubes are bullshit.
