I don’t know about social class, but I do think a lot of women over a certain age are having a problem simply because in their generation, it was just how it was. And if something happened, they didn’t and wouldn’t have even thought about saying anything, because society wouldn’t have cared if it did. Or blamed them.…

Anyone else noticing the trend that the women who are coming out to cry about how wrong #MeToo and other campaigns are all tend to be of a certain older age and higher social class?

Narcissists have a remarkable ability to make you feel special. When you’re good with them you’re the best, they love you, no one else can even compare to how great you are. Then you blink in a way they disapprove of and you’re trash and they’re on to someone new.

When I am Queen, everyone will go back to a Victorian e-mail/text schedule, unless it’s an emergency. The Victorians got their mail, to which they would often write out a reply immediately, four times a day, spread out approximately evenly from around 7 in the morning to around 8 at night. If you read novels, or…

You nailed it. The media seems to find it easy to paint the rural, lower-educated people as those who’d “fall” for Trump. But they’ve yet to do an indepth report on the people that live right next door to them, who make as much money as them and have as much education as them why they voted for Trump. I don’t think…

My rule: do not expect me to answer your text within half a work day. Yes. Seriously. If you want me, call me, I don’t care how much you hate phone calls. Texts are easy to miss.

Right? The LW is all ‘his problem’, but it’s really her problem. He’s texting just fine, according to his phone and inclinations. She’s the one that’s having the problem. Which is not to say she’s not allowed to view this as a problem, but it’s not his.

Ugh—the thing I hate most about texting is that people feel like they’re entitled to your time and attention wherever whenever...

Funny you think they don’t know how to get in.

People would be horrified to know the things that go on in direct care facilities. Even I (a man) have been sexually assaulted by a patient with dementia. It’s incredibly commonplace, and you’re expected to just “suck it up” and keep doing your job (for which you are not well-compensated and overworked). I totally…

Sorry but does no one think what Prince Harry said was rude? No I guess most people don’t have Royals as family but literally that was a very not nice thing to say.

I remember hearing about this ridesharing app (Safr?) that was going to be exclusively for women but it’s scared of getting sued by men who have nothing better to do.

You put his better than I tried to and also helped me understand deeper why it pissed me off. I get that it’s “just a body part” and it’s healthy to talk frankly about these things etc etc etc but ultimate unsolicited dick pic is the perfect description. I feel like that artist’s motivation is more about this…

In a phallocentric, patriarchal society where “no one cares about your boner” is a popular (and, alas, extremely necessary) refrain, I think I can do without my eyes being assaulted by the granddaddy of all unsolicited dick pics, thanks.

As for this:

I ask that you make a quick addition to the headline or the body of the text. This murder occurred in the Washington, DC suburbs. This isn’t rural Virginia. This is 90 minutes from Charlottesville. This is the blue, liberal part of Virginia with an average home price of $429,000. And it is down right horrifying that…

Also, according to The Telegraph, some are claiming the logo in fact contains “elements of a Swastika” (lines?), or spells “Zion,,” and possibly caused some epileptic episodes.”

I know that Jezebel is just a content mill, so reading the articles you link to isn’t like, a thing you guys do regularly, but the comments about “Zion”, the Swastika, etc, were in reference to the London Olympics, not the chess logo.

I read these comments before watching the video, so I knew what my reaction would probably be, and then I watched it. My husband heard the video playing and said “Isn’t this trivializing this?” and I just started to cry.

It is a lot like the Handmaid’s Tale short – good catch. Both have little to offer women viewers other than validation (no, really, it’s not just that you’re over-analyzing men’s reactions because you see everything through Feminist Goggles!), but I really appreciate them as wake-up calls to men.

Yeah it reminds me of the Handmaid’s Tale skit they did last year. Every time I recall it it makes me laugh-sigh.
