in my early forties, I broke up with a perfectly nice man who was not meeting my emotional and sexual needs. he knew this, and stated flatly that he had no intention of changing, yet was shocked - SHOCKED - that I broke up with him, a perfectly nice man.
he actually said to me, incredulously, “you would rather be ALONE…

Exactly. I know a ton of women who get overlooked by men. At most they get a guy who treats them poorly or just wants to sleep with them a few times a week while continuing to search for a hotter girlfriend.

You are wrong- most men are not handsome or charming enough to hook up with THE WOMEN THEY DESIRE THE MOST. That is an important distinction. I am sure there are plenty of women out there who would hook up with you, but you probably aren’t even thinking about those women at all. So you’ve discounted them the same way…

I think that is total and utter bullshit. All people need to bring a lot to the table in order to get the fulfilling relationship they want. Are you kidding me? Men may, and that is a loose may, be more motivated to find a sexual partner, but in now way are they more motivated to find a committed partner. Unless all…

Breaking up, these days at least, is the ultimate feminist act. It’s saying that I have my own money, job, apartment/house, independence, whatever that I don’t need this man who isn’t meeting my needs in this relationship. This sentiment is true now more than ever because for the longest time a man with a good job…

I think the simple idea that YOU get to decide which relationships you want in your life is pretty radical. The idea that you have authority over who gets space in your life is pretty damn important. I remember when I recognized that people who don’t respect me are not owed space or attention from me, it was pretty…

Did the judge really invoke the "I'm not touching yoooouuuuu!"-rule? She should be sent to her room without dinner

I’m just going to reply to myself because I’m about to go to bed, and I don’t want to leave the greys hanging-

I work in a male-dominated industry. Biggest. Gossips. Ever.

Icebergs are easier to avoid than bedbugs.

We had a case of two co-workers divorcing and marrying the other one’s wife. And yeah, it's like a damned soap opera out there. 

Do we work at the same plant? I’m with a bunch of Baby Boomers who’ve worked together since high school and haven't matured at all since then. 🤦🏾‍♀️

you act like the outcome of sports events are based entirely on player talent and not on who spent the most money. your hobby is not any more important than anyone else’s. you watch other people play games instead of playing games yourself.

I’m of the opinion that there should be a law that requires all accounts and subscriptions created online to be as easy to close or cancel as they were to open or sign up for. That means if it takes three easy steps to open, it should take no more than three easy steps to close. If the account was created through…

When nearly 40% of genital herpes is HSV-1, in addition to most cold sores, I’m arguing that this distinction is largely academic.

A while back my wife and I hosted an Oscar party and there was a guy there who wouldn’t stop with the “I can’t believe people are so into the red carpet,” “celebrity worship,” etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum.

Have you ever listened to ESPN commentators? They can talk FOR HOURS about golf conditions or speculate on what Tiger Woods had for breakfast.

One dark pattern that always irritates me is when websites stuff unrelated video content into the middle of articles that automatically begin playing to artificially increase view counts.

10 way the Lakers can give Labron James a better hand job.

And they can’t be arsed to tell us the answer in the article, of course.

So, spoilers:

It was (almost certainly) an ‘icequake’, icebergs calving off of an ice-sheet.
