It is amazing how men have to have it fucking spelled out.

I was thinking the other day about how there’s that trope of women going to the bathroom in packs when out, and why that is. I concluded that the general reason women go to the bathroom in groups is because it’s safer. It’s safer than leaving one tipsy friend to navigate a crowded bar and it’s safer than leaving one…
there was at least one dude that told her she needed to go to therapy “for her anxiety” and that what she was doing was “not normal even if all women do it.”
I never thought the host of The Man Show would wind up being such a great champion of women.
He does have quite a debt to work off though...
My husband’s been on me a lot recently to walk the dog more in the evening (we have a huge yard where we play fetch and he gets morning walks, so don’t hate me, everyone) and one day I just snapped and was like: “I can’t! I can’t walk the dog in the evening, because it’s already getting dark, and if I walk him along…
That thing in your eye is called One Tiny Drop of the Gigantic, Overwhelming, Universal Sea of Women’s Pissed-Off Sorrow.
This. Unless I am on a busy running/walking path, I only have one earbud in, which means none of those little tiny wireless ones for me either. I was home a while back and my mom came home from a walk and I noticed the same thing, even though she lives in a very safe neighborhood and knows all the neighbors.
my boyfriend is REALLY into music so he was helping me pick out a pair of good bluetooth earbuds the other day. he suggested the tiny little ones similar to airpods, and i told him i need the ones that are connected with a wire because i usually only wear one ear in while i’m going for a walk or run. he was so confused…
My husband had his car stolen the other month. It was in a low crime area, so he was dumbfounded that it was stolen. I drove my car down so I could pick him up and look for it. I took one look at the street he parked on (dark, construction with many concealed areas) and said “I would have never parked here.” He was…
There are some cities where women have started all-woman taxi services. Women drivers for women passengers, reducing the risks to both. Of course, some dudes lost their minds and said it was sexist... sigh.
I was leaving a book launch around 8p last night. As I always do after dark, I called someone as I walked to my car in case I get attacked the person on the other end can call 911. Also? My husband didn’t answer his phone, so I just talked to his voicemail until I got to my car so that he could call 911 if I didn’t…
Fabulous!! Strong stuff. Absolutely acid-etched.
Your story makes me SEETHE with rage.
You know what kills me? There’s actually a company policy where I used to work that women are to be escorted to their cars by security staff if they leave the office after dark. Like, I once had to work until 11 pm on some data migration and I walked alone to my car (keys clutched between my fingers and other hand on…
I speak out ALL THE TIME about women’s issues, and I was DUMBFOUNDED at how many of the things that she mentioned that women can’t do that I had internalized and accepted. It’s just the way it is -- all of the tiny little freedoms that men have that I don’t. FUCK ALL OF THIS.
He’s totally fluffy! And so soft! Thank you!
Happy Saturday night, kitty cats! My best friend invited me to go with her family to Disney over Thanksgiving! She has an extra concierge room on hold (for me) and flights aren’t bad at all. And y’all, there’s nothing on this entire earth I hate more than spending time with my narcissistic family members, which I feel…
Good evening! Just thought I’d pop over and post a picture of my super awesome bow tie wearing dog, Fred. And yes, his favorite film is The Shining. Hope everyone had a great week!
