As a domme, I can tell you that many male subs still have patriarchal BS simmering in their brains. It might take a different form but it’s there. Like the numerous male subs I’ve known who think fucking a woman is defiling or disrespecting her and that a powerful woman will mock/reject their cocks. And don’t get me…

“Always?”

I already miss Fiona Staples so much.

I must be insane, right?

Dunno, but I was on an all-male team once where we had men from certain countries who wouldn’t talk to me, were freaked out by me shaking their hand, etc. I brought it up with the boss and was told to just chill, with the implication I was being culturally insensitive. My feeling: if you take a job with an American…

In a Lifetime/Hallmark movie, he would secretly be an angel who gave advice to the lonelyheart office workers and eventually played matchmaker to a just-jilted female lawyer and dashing male partner.

I worked as an exec assistant long ago, and hired a male admin for the formerly all-female admin pool. The response was SO depressing. Men wouldn’t go to him for support; women were constantly baking him cookies and fawning all over him (he was cute) and asking him about his band, while giving the real work to the…

First it was that he’d dated a lot of women with body issues and so they were just insecure but he didn’t think I was that way. (Attempt to shame me.) Then he latched onto some evo-psych bullshit about men being more visual and then onto the old chestnut about women being naturally more beautiful than men and how I…

I think what’s uncommon is women brazenly ogling men in front of their male partners - at least as much as the reverse tends to happen. I think women are more discreet about it.

I don’t want to see Maggie go, but I could see her dying. A fake pregnancy and another baby just seem like a pain in the ass for the show to accommodate.

This is my favorite season after season 1.

Thanks, that’s what I thought.

Wow, I totally missed that! I thought he was a supernatural being.

Nonsensical as this season is in parts (like whatever happened to the vampire middle-schoolers and the creature that hid in the mattress? why was the Countess as a mortal THAT immediately compelling to both the biggest movie star in the world and one of the richest/most evil men in LA? ) I’m enjoying it. The…

I vote for the name Strumpet. And I want lots of the old writers to come back, like Dodi and Meghan.

I can’t imagine things like reacting to every noise you hear at night, closing your eyes and going to sleep feeling safe, etc. The effects are so long lasting.

Yeah, it sounds pretty demanding. I think when I was little, it was completely unregulated - you just put the word out and people dropped their kids off.

That sounds perfect. And what a bargain to boot.

You just answered my question: are those in-home daycares still a thing? I went to one from aged 3-5 where it was one 60something lady watching a handful of kids. She didn’t even play with us - just plonked us in a room with a TV and toys and we entertained ourselves, and she made us lunch and ensured no one escaped.…

That is so true.
