Colbert is one of the small circle of men I think of and say to myself, “Please, please, please, don’t let them get named.” Colbert, Obama, most of the cast of Thor Ragnarok, Assorted Hot British Actors, and, once upon a time, Al Franken. Damn it.

I wonder if part of this is about women who would rather believe they were seduced than assaulted. It’s often easier to act like you were a willing participant than accept the reality. And if you are a woman of a certain age, it had to be damn near impossible to escape predators.

Mensch has been remarkably accurate when it comes to her statements on Trump/Russia in the past 12 months.

Whenever I think of my perpetual singlehood, I think that I must suck. I get so drawn into it I assume I must be terrible at everything.

I have tried to fix everything that people have told me is wrong with me. 

I love this post.

Man, I’m in my early 30s and I see this plain as day. It’s like the majority men of my generation are either complacent or delusional (it could also be that I live in Vegas where lots of “professional” poker players congregate). I’ve decided that if I can’t find someone who’s on a similar wavelength, I have to keep…

As I sit here with my boyfriend who I love, I have to agree with you. Men are a lot of thankless work. I like sex with them and a certain amount of companionship, but they are so draining and give so little back.

I love that you love yourself enough to be alone. I am working on that, I am with someone who does not love me and have been for a very long time because I am so afraid. I am not much younger than you, and today you gave me strength. Thank you.

What it ultimately boils down to is: there are many more exceptional women out there than there are exceptional men. Ninety percent of the older single (unpartnered) women I know are intelligent, attractive and have many loving relationships with family and friends. I really cannot say the same about the older…

Great post.

Well done. As a companion piece, I highly suggest folks head over to will’s Jamboroo on Deadspin: https://deadspin.com/weve-forgotten-how-to-fear-1821497982

Also this one! My favourite scene of all time.

Frederica Wilson, for speaking truth to power and making sure no one diminishes or ignores La David Johnson’s death.

Spurlock and his ilk are doing exactly what my ex used to do: preemptively come out and admit shitty behavior, verbally and publicly self-flagellate, agree with every assessment critics make about their character so they don’t have to listen, and hijack the conversation to talk about what huge assholes they were, but…

these weasel-dick motherfuckers. Super Size me was bullshit.

Yeah, but you’re a dude. Do you KNOW how many lectures I got from guys and gals alike about how I was just being uptight and it was all in good fun and omg it’s not like he MEANS it it’s all just jokes and gawd just get a sense of humor for ONCE omg you know feminists just have no sense of humor...
