I love the little Russian pin on Trump’s lapel. It’s the little touches that make these sketches great.

They lock maternity wards down so tight now, it’s crazy. My kid was an hour old and had on a proximity alarm, three bar codes that corresponded to me, and a microchip. No exaggeration. And my hospital required babies to room in with the parents.

I’m sure the chances of this happening to most us are one in a million. I have friends who’ve been told by hospital staff that they weren’t “allowed” to keep their baby in the room with them at all times if they wanted. This story makes me think I’d respond with a hearty, “Fuck off,” because I cannot imagine the…

On a serious note, how do you psychologically repatriate a kidnapped child with her biological parents?

Conversely, you think that sexually assaulting someone is not a serious enough crime that the person assaulted can defend herself? Now THAT is fucked up.

NO. 

My brother bullied me my whole life. He hit me, threw things at me, grabbed me sexually. My parents never said a word until I kicked him in the nuts; then they lectured ME about how I should NEVER do that to a dude. WTF.

Again, the fact that you think rape and ballkicking are equally heinous says a terrifying thing about you.

If a woman is being assaulted? Kick in the balls. If a woman has been assaulted and is confronting her attacker, even if her life isn’t in immediate peril? Kick in the balls. If the fucker is a ginormous douchebag, kick in the balls. If he’s a huge bully? Kick in the balls.

Hey! This was self-defense! Against literal months of torment. You ARE the problem.

If only you were a woman.

Great piece. And may I recommend getting fat? I am completely invisible now. But nothing makes men angrier than a fat feminist who loves herself. Example number one - Lindy West. She rocks.

If he’s not mature enough to handle his roommate talking about his sex life, then he’s not mature enough for sex.

That’s when you stuff his pillowcase with them.

Whenever I read a frothy article that’s all ‘Here are the top ten things in women’s fashion that men hate’, I just want to do everything on the list as a reminder that I do not exist for anybody’s boner. It’s that level of pettiness that led to me cutting off all of my hair after a boyfriend told me he didn’t want me…

I never wore makeup but I’ve been experimenting with it lately. Always garish — blue lipstick, glitter eyes, stuff that is not “pretty” but like a poisonous snake that warns you away with bright colors. Screw them and their entitlement to how I should look.

“...But this is a lie.” Yes, yes, yes it is. Because as Germaine Greer put it, women have no idea how much men hate us. They lie to us about it all the damn time, so that we might believe them and trust them and take care of them and feed them and fuck them and look nice for them. All the while they keep their boots…

Vanity keeps me from throwing away my makeup and sanity keeps me from, as I often feel the repugnant urge, breaking the mirror with the surface of my own face and leaving us both cracked open. But I also can’t deny my current impulse to become as ugly and unlikeable as I can, merely to serve as constant reminder of…

This was amazing. Thank you for writing!
