Already some whining from the grays about her blocking traffic. If being late to work is the worst thing that happens to you on a given day, be glad. Also this plays into the line of thinking: “if black people are going to protest then they should do it in a way that does not affect me at all, in a place where I don’t…

I appreciate your vulnerability in writing all this.

“Teacher, I think I speak for the entire class when I say I’d rather have a pop quiz than a surprise Ivanka Trump visit. I’ll even go make the copies.”

Dudes want to know why you don’t respond in an openly friendly way when they greet you.

That same guy goes on reddit years later with a post complaining about how everyone targeted him in the women’s studies class and gets 1000 likes.

Joe Scarborough. That Guy in every women’s studies class who has to interrupt and say some version of, “If more women used birth control, the abortion rate would go down!” over and over again.

please run this column from now on

The typo thing=children is unkind. You should not marry this man not because you may be young, based on your typos. You should not marry this man because after hooking up on-again, off-again, fooling around, whatever it was for three years, he can’t know after three months of monogamy if he’ll be satisfied and…

John Conyers, Al Franken, Matt Lauer, and Garrison Keillor.

I’m glad I just had a daughter. All this good news about Nazis, pussy grabbing presidents and the fact apparently 8 out of 10 men are in the news for sexual harassment, I’m so hopeful for the world she’ll grow up in.

Can we just not hug all the time? For years, those of us who aren’t huggers (especially women) have been made to feel like there’s something wrong with us.

Guys.

It’s because there is a distinction between white feminists and feminists who happen to be white. White feminists like Lena use their privilege (also mine - blonde, white woman here), including and especially racial privilege, but also the privilege of unearned wealth, and being cis and straight, to help themselves…

Jeez. Imagine living in that perpetual state of anxious fear that something might happen to you. Those poor, poor men.

So yeah guys, if you’re like, “I don’t know what I personally can do to help!”, the thing to do is to call out men, ESPECIALLY YOUR FRIENDS AND COWORKERS AND ACQUAINTANCES when they are creeps and abusers. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances. Especially your friends and coworkers and acquaintances.…

I’ve kind of avoided this story for triggering personal reasons, so this is the first time I’ve read it. I’m crying for what that girl and her family have been put through. I hope they find peace and healing.

I’m glad these women are speaking out, and good for this woman for so publicly fighting back, seriously. But as long as these kinds of pageants exist, they will continue to be a symptom of a broken system that presents women as objects to be ogled and, yeah, groped. And worse. And more than that, as long as we teach…

A trans woman defeating the guy who tried to pass a bathroom bill is the kind of poetic justice we need.

I recently overhead a conversation of some male coworkers (all 60+) that went like this:

What is that quote? “We don’t need men in feminist spaces, we need men to take male spaces and make them feminist.”
