At one of Ira Glass’ live performances, he said he hired women and noticed after awhile he was working with only women, and feeling like he had to ask permission to include a make viewpoint. The way he told it was delightful, of course. He is one of the least sexist men ever, and hearing how it resonated with him was…

CA Governor Jerry Brown was also trying to reach out to those that disagree with him (and smack them for their willful ignorance):

Did everyone else not immediately assume that it was Jennifer Lawrence?

One of my favorite Tumblr posts is someone saying something about how great it would be if they eventually made a picture about Leo’s life and the actor playing Leo won the Oscar for it.

I love this expression and honestly thought no one under 60 or a lover of old movies, would understand it.

As others have said - that is complete bullshit. Guys don’t follow you around all fucking night, even after you’ve told them you don’t date or screw married men, if they think you’re an easy lay. They just go on to the next person.

I’ve experienced this too, and I think it’s a combo of two things: 1) These particular married guys have secured their status with fellow bros by having an observably thin wife, and now feel free to follow their attractions regardless of cultural acceptability, AND 2) The kind of dirtbags who cheat are already looking…

Well, apparently they are stupid and wasted their time then, because I’ve never fucked someone who was attached to someone else. So they definitely kept their hands off me.

I’m fat, always have been (varying levels of course, but even at my skinniest I’ve been fat). There’s this phenomenon that happens to me that never ceases to shock my girlfriends where I legitimately get hit on more often by men who are engaged or married. It started when I was still in high school. It’s like, well,…

And of course she means “wealthy Victorian.” There weren’t even weekends, much less OSHA laws in this amorphous, nostalgic, white-washed period she has concocted. Get back to work in the cotton mill, you mouthy strumpet!

This woman bothers me so much. I studied the Victorian era extensively in school and she’s “living” in one very tiny aspect of it. Of COURSE she would choose to be a wealthy woman instead of dealing with the horrific poverty of the time. It’s myopic yet completely unsurprising.

Maybe I’m just not a romantic, but there’s no time period I’d rather live in than this one. Or maybe the future. But right now we have disposable tampons, birth control, antibiotics, air conditioning, divorce laws, safe abortions (where available) and surviveable c-sections. I’m a cynic and I bitch a lot about what…

Do you know the likelihood of getting HIV from a small cut in the mouth? Literally zero. It takes a lot of body fluid to get HIV. It’s actually not that effective of a disease. Things that increase risk for HIV: multiple unprotected sexual encounters with an infected partner, sharing needles multiple times with…

So you’d let someone rape you so that you didn’t have to bite them and ingest their blood? That makes zero sense.

The woman should have noticed something was wrong when the car / license plate did not match that of the Uber driver she was matched with, and the driver did not provide the correct name when she asked - and should therefore not have gotten into the car.

I see a duck and .... a bunch of people marching around aimlessly. How do we get penis there? confused. It’s been awhile, but has the penis changed its shape or something.

People who do not split the bill down the middle, despite what you ordered, are the damn devil.

I think my husband verges on the cheap, which is fine because I sometimes verge on the fiscally irresponsible. I DO mind that he’ll whine “We’re poor, remember!” in front of friends who I know for a fact earn a lot less than us whenever I ask if we can order an appetizer or something. We’re not poor. We can afford a…

One of my friends (A) went to dinner with another one of my friends (B) and her now husband and back then, fiance. At the end of the night, A + B assumed everyone was splitting the check evenly. Fiance throws a BITCH FIT to B IN FRONT OF A and doesn’t think he should pay for 1/3 of the food because according to him,…

I always split the check with good friends with whom I eat out a lot. Sometimes the split is not totally fair (you had two glasses of wine, I had four; you had a salad and I didn’t) but it’s all a wash in the end. And my friendships are worth more than arguments over $20.
