My partner is always astounded at how easily I can ‘get’ information from guys when he can’t; we’re both male, but he just doesn’t know how to widen his eyes, look dumb, and ask the other guy to explain it. I’ve had guys tell me things incorrectly with such utter confidence because I’ve done the head tilt, ‘but I…

Men go wild when you’re as generic as possible and just happen to be a bumbling girl-woman who oh, gosh, needs help with this heavy box!

You left out the most haunting part of the obituary, the part that really broke me. It made me finally understand that line in all the movies that says killing a person haunts you:

Big eyes, slightly tilted head, confused smile, and the use of the phrase, “but I thought ...”? 

Freddie is right. It’s truly astounding how easy it is to manipulate men if you act the way they think women and girls should act, e.g. being unintelligent, non-threatening, knowing your place, hanging on their every word, and deferential.

100% how does a guy who went to an all boys high school have 60+ women who remember him in high school, and that this letter would be provided two days after Feinstein’s letter is revealed. This is a whole pile of WTF.

Relevant:

I am a survivor of middle school sexual assault, and I can tell you with certainty that this woman is not exaggerating when she says it still seriously impacts her life to this day. There are still times when I smell the soap my rapist used (which thankfully isn’t often) and go momentarily back to that place. The only…

60 women from high school have been friends with him for 35 years? I only follow 5 people from high school on Facebook.

“...here’s a signed statement from hundreds of kids that Sandusky DIDN’T molest. So on average, he’s a decent guy.”

Not exactly on point, but we need to end lifetime Supreme Court appointments.  This whole thing is FUBAR that is made even more FUBAR by the fact that the impact could be for several decades.

On Friday, Senator Chuck Grassley, the Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a statement signed by more than five dozen women who knew Kavanaugh in high school, which states that “[t]hrough the more than 35 years we have known him, Brett has stood out for his friendship, character, and…

Fuck yeah, Emily Sioma. Thank you for using the little time they gave you to mention Flint. I can only hope that poisoning thousands of our own was my state’s low point. I mean, at least it would be hard to go much lower than that. Future governor Schutte will take a crack at it when he bans abortion and…

Whenever I see one of those sinister and unnatural blue-white smiles out in the wild, I swear I can hear the Battlestar Galactica version of All Along the Watchtower humming background, sounding the Cylon alarm.

In that clip I enjoyed watcing Miss South Carolina’s pageant smile slowly slip away in the background as Miss Michigan spoke.

Worth remembering this:

God, that was some bullshit. Everybody lost: Serena, the public, and especially Naomi, who turned in a world-class performance but now will always have an asterisk accompany any mention of this victory. It was an all-around bummer. What a weird moment to enforce the coaching restriction, topped by that overkill game…

Maybe he was just busy writing lots of scrambled nonsense that was only made legible by teams of women working their asses off at 3am?

This is news?
