And one who didn’t write out a detailed, explicit rape fantasy, claim that all women had one like it, and then say “Haha, it’s satire! My sense of humor is too profound and complicated for you stupid militant feminists to grasp!”

Why is he wearing what looks like a single dog tag? Was he in the armed forces?

Thank you. I find it all a little confusing, to be honest. Somehow it was a privilege for me to be groped and fondled once I grew breasts? And somehow being told from an early age that I was not as worthwhile as if I were born male gives me some kind of privilege over those who were, reaped the benefits of having been

No. It’s Taiwan Fried Chicken in the Shida Market District near National Taiwan University. :P

When I do the faculty wife thing and throw a dinner party for members of my husband’s department, everyone crowds into the breakfast nook next to the kitchen where I’m trying to finish cooking. I think they feel guilty or something or are trying to be sociable, and my urgings along the lines of “I think you’ll all be

I would so taint his mind. Make him identify all the absent signifiers in the collected lyrics of Donny & Marie.

Ah, the new “Duck and Cover.” And just as ineffective.

I thought using correct grammar and punctuation while texting was somehow supposed to make one a “garbage person.”

I have a cousin named Cameron. He just graduated from medical school and voted for Cheetolini. He is eminently mockable.

And now, of course, the reason Hillary lost was because she was a shitty candidate who didn’t make a fucking sandwich for every working-class white man in Wisconsin. Forget that everything was fucking stacked against her because she was a woman—oh, no, sexism was not an issue in the 2016 election, except that this

Oh, God, the berniebots I knew tied themselves up in so many knots trying to explain why he was really a feminist, and when they couldn’t, they just screamed me down instead.

Said girl (one of those 19-year-old, ‘not like other girls’ girls), who remembered nothing of the evening, ended up giving me a condescending lecture about how he’s a “really nice guy” and I was “letting my political ideology cloud my judgment” and should “stop hating men.”

Thank you. Was coming to post exactly this correction. All that passive voice was way more clunky than the attempt to keep things gender neutral without resorting to jarring noun-pronoun disagreement.

The Episcopal Church welcomes them.

Oh, man, I remember Whatever from way back in the 90s. What an underrated, totally forgotten film. Had Frederic Forrest in it, too.

Laurie Metcalf and John Goodman were definitely slumming it in Roseanne.

...had a picture of my desk junk but forgot to remove incriminating details from the monitor.

That’s why we’re always trying to steal yours through cultural appropriation.

She’s been expelled, banned from campus; the police are investigating; what else should the University do? Seriously. Sending her over to UConn as an infectious diseases test subject might be fitting and appropriate, but it probably wouldn’t be legal.

I’m trying to figure out what that could possibly be, as contraceptives don’t give one dementia, a rare but deadly tropical disease, or a flesh-eating bacterial infection.
