Yep, we hadn’t even seen each other in about a month because I was ‘super busy’ and he sent me a link to a show asking if I wanted to go. This was the first week of June. The event was for the first week of November! That night I told him we were obviously in different places and I wasn’t interested in continuing…

No. Just because some people find breasts attractive, that is not what they are for. Women grow breasts in order to feed children. That we as a society have sexualized a body part doesn’t change why it exists. No woman chooses to grow boobs, it just happens. You’re saying that the symptom defines the purpose. This…

Texts can be dropped! It’s rare but it happens, not to get all XOJane on you but It Happened To Me. Notes were compared, receipts were shown.

So... basically going out of their way to deliver and reinforce the message, “Yes, bro, the female body is for YOU!”

I once ill advisedly made out with a guy on NYE, and then told him that I would be suuuuper busy with work until the election (I work in government).... in May

Yeah, it appears that he mentioned he’s “busy the next few months” but she still might run into him at several events. I’m busy for the next few months is the gentle downshift of, kissing you was fun but just this one time. I told a guy I had gone on a few dates with and wasn’t interested in continuing seeing that I…

I agree, or I was thinking that he’s actually involved with someone and didn’t consider kissing her in a bowling alley to be cheating, but actually going out on a date or pursuing a relationship would be cheating.

Agreed. I guess L.L. did say she doesn’t care about dating him...but it should be made clear to her he’s just really not that interested in her, whether they go on to bone or not.

Kelly- are you acquainted with Take Me Out?

Look, I know I’ve said this a number of times but if you’re having trouble with texting, sexing, and urges in general, DOWN. LOAD. A. DATING. APP. Give it a freaking whirl. You don’t have to meet up with anyone, let alone fuck a stranger! It’s just a great way to deal with the dwelling and redirect those texting…

That was my initial response, too, but....it might be a financial issue. She may not be able to afford daycare/baby-sitters, so that’s why he gets to stay.

but much worse he talks bad about me to our four year old daughter.

It’s from Witches of Eastwick and honestly I’ve never read it (love the movie) so I can’t speak to the context. But it illustrates your point regardless.

I’m, personally, tired of men telling female stories because women are often denied the opportunity to do it due to gatekeeping. Why should men be the ones to control the narrative in everything? Especially since men tend to push a rather misogynistic narrative in their works.

Agreed. I do not want any of them to die young; I want all of them to live long, long, healthy lives. I want these treasonous scum to live with crystal-clear mental faculties so they can experience every drop of the sneering hatred the world has for them.

Her ugly shoes, which are ripoffs of higher quality designs!

I fucking hate everybody in this administration and I can’t wait for them to live out the rest of their lives in disgrace.

I can appreciate this! If you go by Taylor’s perspective, she was technically in the right. I still think she intentionally let people believe she hated the song—and you’re right, maybe she did. I also got the vibe that she was trying to be cool and play along with Kanye’s song; you can tell because when he tells her…
