Here comes the liberal circular firing squad.

You will not get that promotion at work if you don’t dress in an attractive manner, but you will also get HR complaints if your cleavage or nipples show at work. Akso, you will be shamed as a terrible mother if you don’t breastfeed but you will also be accosted if you breastfeed in public.

Men: The Rational Gender(tm). We’ll risk touching your boobs without express permission after a couple beers, but not when it might save your lives.

So we get sexually harassed because of our boobs but we don’t get CPR? Cool.

Clinton and Trump are both being graded on a curve. Trump gets plaudits whenever he manages to deliver a scripted speech to Congress without insulting anyone or throwing a temper tantrum (“omg is this a pivot?? Soooo presidential!”)

Agree 100%

“Basket of deplorables” was objectively the correct description...but still the wrong thing to say in public while on the campaign trail. Signed, Massive Hillary Fan

Megyn Kelly’s true self peaked out underneath all that new branding.

It’s not the act in question; it’s the context of the act. And yes, walking up to a relative stranger in a workplace and saying, “hey, wanna bone?” Or “hey, could you blow me?” Or “how about we go and dry hump?” Would all also have been wrong. Because of... THE CONTEXT!

Add Lin-Manuel Miranda to the list...

I think Trevor Noah said it best when he said he prays that beloved celebrities’ names are trending because they’re dead.

I’ve reached the point that if Sir Patrick Stewart pops up randomly trending maybe it’d be better if it was because he died.

Mark Salling, Mark Salling...now where do I know that name...

Not Sean Astin. Please don’t be a bad person, Sean Astin. Or Mr. Rogers. JFC Mr. Rogers was around so many kids. Please not him either.

Ugh! I never liked this guy, now I fucking hate him.

The power I had over these women is that they admired me.
