Yes, but that’s not really the point. Her friend was killed because of her ex boyfriend's anger towards her decision to break off the relationship. This is a fear women face while dealing with controlling significant others. It is an unfortunately reality that we have to deal with.

Jia, signing the petition to have benjaminallover ungreyed. Please?

I saw on Twitter someone posted (paraphrased), “saying ‘save the rainforests’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘fuck all other forests,’” which I appreciated as an analogy for all this “all lives matter” nonsense.

“All lives matter” is the smarmiest, most disingenuous erasure of a movement that malicious and clueless white people could have come up with. To apply this to Dr. King, his work, or his life is almost violent in its untruth. Fuck this parade of assholes in the ear.

Can’t wait for Ganeshram’s next story about those great blankets the white man gave the Native Americans.

Oof, looked the author up and her day job is writing about food and culture. This appears to be her first foray into writing childrens’ books.

I meet a lot of lonely men who simply impose impossible standards on their “dream girl” and trap themselves in loneliness by their own accord.

my partner was like this and is slowly improving, but it only happened when I turned his strategy against him: 1) leave the kids with him sometimes, as in just say “I’ve got a meeting, have fun!” 2) ask him, “what’s for dinner?” “did you do the laundry?” etc., as if it was his job. Gradually it started to normalize it…

it’s not just a lack of foresight, it’s also a lack of insight. they have very inaccurate ideas of what kind of people they are.

Here’s a glaring omission that many people seem to forget: you don’t need a woman to have a child and start a family! You can adopt as a single parent!

No. I said the article reminds me that my cats are better not that the reason I WANT to be alone and a spinster is because there are no ‘good guys’. I want to be alone because I have no interest in being with another human being. I have no interest in having anyone take on my EXTREMMMME amount of baggage and honestly?…

It seems like many men have unrealistic expectations. One friend I have (who is very nice in every other way) that has serious self esteem issues due to weight. He has a great job, sweet guy, lots of friends and he is only slightly overweight. But, he refuses to explore options because he’s afraid he will be rejected.…

No sympathy whatsoever. The first guy that you mention - the hair dresser admits that one option is to go out and have sex with a random girl. Maybe if he treated women as human emotional beings worthy of investing time and energy in getting to know instead of an “option” he wouldn’t be the single guy with a bunch of…

This is another example of how a sense of entitlement can embitter people. Just because you decide you WANT a family at a certain age doesn’t mean you’re going to automatically get one.

I’m fat, and I’ve been losing weight in the last few months... my female boss congratulates me all the time on my weight loss and on how hard I’m working and my food choices.

whenever I read this stuff I’m just like... FUUUUUUCK. FUCK! Is there anyone who hasn’t experienced misogyny and sexism? Anyone?

Ugh, remember how back in the day there were like, countdown clocks for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen turning 18? STILL NOT OKAY.
