Here’s how you to respond to Mean Girl, and your message will show up in her regular messages because she requested you. (I tested it once.)
I gave a commencement speech at my high school graduation and some idiots inflated a huge beach ball and played with it and the principal had to stop my speech in the middle, yell at the students, and ask me to continue. Back at home at our family party, my evil older brother kept replaying that part of the recording…
but consider coming to write for Jezebel should things go alarmingly off course for you.
So they always know where their towel is?
Ok, true story: my ex-spouse once told me that he wanted me to work harder at my freelance career, but only up to the point that it interfered with MY housework, because his job was stressful and he didn’t want to help. He went on to say that if I really needed help, to be sure I made enough to pay a house cleaner out…
Good riddance. Also, I’m about to sneeze just thinking of shag carpets and pets! (I have “scratching post” carpets cos they’re low maintenance.)
Exactly. It’s a bullshit relic of the past and it needs to stop. I told my husband from day one that if we are both working then we are equal in EVERY domestic chore (except killing bugs, he kills the bugs.) Both our parents consistently give him kudos for any level of domestic work/child-rearing and he IS wonderful…
Is it irony that a Nazi apologist (‘on both sides’) is representing one of the countries that fought a war against & beat the Nazis at a commemoration of one of the great battles that took place during said war? Or is it just irony-adjacent?
Saw this yesterday and loved it! I’m a high school teacher and I found the dynamics between the teenagers to be really accurate - the smart, nerdy girls aren’t necessarily bullied in the classic sense, but they keep a separation between themselves and the mainstream group. When the kids at the party were all excited…
I have not seen this, but reading this I felt like it’s a similar vibe to another (seriously underappreciated) female-driven high school sex comedy, The To Do List. You’ve got an absolutely loaded cast (Aubrey Plaza! Bill Hader! Pre-Because The Internet Donald Glover! Clark Gregg AND Connie Britton as the parents!)…
can’t surgically alter a personality or misogyny though. so, the problem for these dudes will remain.

My boyfriend picked up my fabric scissors to open a package a few months ago and in retrospect he might not have needed to hear quite so much about ever ruined pair of fabric scissors I’ve ever owned to get my point but boy, he really gets it now!
I thought exactly the same thing! It didn’t even occur to me there could be other scissor-related drama. I guess MAYBE stealing a pair. Maybe.
As a quilter and sewer I literally assumed this was going to be drama of someone using someone else’s fabric scissors on non fabric and I want you to know that in my head I thought war was FULLY justified just based on that.
b-b-but, he was totally okay with the idea of HER using HER body to bring his offspring into the world, surely he can’t also be punished! MENS RIGHTS
Except, you know, it’s the woman’s fault for getting pregnant, not the man’s. He’s just following nature, or wahtever...
Having to watch the 20 minute preview for this thing at every movie I’ve seen for the past three months has made me hate the farm with a hateful hate.
