When I was pregnant I felt tremendous pressure to constantly express how I was oh so ecstatic to be fulfilling my feminine destiny. :P To be honest, I didn’t really feel much of a real connection with the kid until they started talking. Before that, I loved my baby in a sort of matter-of-fact way, but I faked a whole

Judge: I sentence you to 10 years and a boot to the head from Ms. Soskin *thump* and from everyone who works with her at the parks department *thump* *thump* *thump*...

Fellas who make a fuss about having the words “man” or “men” in job titles and the like replaced with gender neutral language seem to be the sort who need to reassure themselves that they are indeed manly men who can man up.

Maybe if the mass shooting was actually in Congress or the Senate and winged enough of them, but we taxpayers provide security forces to prevent that from happening.

I did find one veeery useful weapon in these sorts of situations is to ever-so-sweetly request the complaint against me in writing and signed by the person harassing me so I can use it “for my future reference”. (In this case, I’d probably ask to film them in front of a mirror indicating EXACTLY what’s offensive.)

No. It happens all the time. It sucks.

Spiritual high-fives for Sister Jean!

F = Effin’ big
