These people need to have their right to vote taken away.

On one hand, I feel you. On the other, as a female, I wish the gender discussion was somehow confined to be only 30 years, ‘cause now I’d be done living it instead of looking of facing down another 30-60 more years.

He does seem like he’d be a fabulous dad. But. Wow, does he have a high-caliber “I am disappointed in you” face. Imagine getting busted for something and having that look directed at you personally (vs how I’ve seen it, from the safe distance of TV). Oof!

A fellow resting-bitch-face over here. I wonder if it’s about not being particularly good at “performing femininity?” Dunno. Then again, I work in a STEM field, so I’m kinda damned if I do, damned if I don’t. I sure do get a lot of opportunities to break out the listening-to-mansplaining-without-punching smile, though.

Since everyone else is sharing their terrible stories, I’ll add to the pile.

The “warm/cool colors” illustration is wrong, and I can’t help but be a little twitchy about it since this article is meant as a helpful guide for beginners.

I vividly remember the horror when my friend’s little munchkin informed his mom and I that “girls don’t do that!” about something. Definitely came from school. Definitely a blow to my perception that anything he learned at home was going to give him something of a pass on the larger gender BS out in the world. I’m not

Oh, I see. So, you also don’t wear pants, use indoor plumbing, or eat processed foods — all things humans also didn’t evolve specifically to do. Hey! How are you using electricity, written language, or a computer? We didn’t evolve specifically for those things, either! Gosh, somehow you’ve managed to adopt these

Thank you for bringing a historical perspective.

Agreed. Had to step away for a moment, and then it became clear.

Okay, wading past the examples of entitlement, prejudice, lack of perspective or spell-check, and weirdness, I’m left with a question.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who found that particularly brain-melting.

I was thinking it’d look great on business cards. But, I wondered if it’s perhaps a bit byzantine for a title. And then I got all tangled up trying to figure out if “whore” should be capitalized or maybe both “crooked” and “whore” should be capitalized?

Sorry.

Oh, Mikey, it’s adorable how you think because “everyone” has an urge towards something, obviously it’s fine, and rather than trying to address it through education, societal rules, or even legal decrees, we should just embrace it.

But, don’t wear “too much” makeup, because that will keep you from getting a promotion.

Slightly off-topic, but whenever I encounter a phrase like “average intelligence,” I immediately think of these wise, yet depressing words:

How many times does Al have to tell you: you don’t get to Leap out until you fix the problem that brought you to this time period!
