Rubbish. This is about the chance to give the political establishment, and the incumbent party with all its perceived failures, a serious kicking. The principle here is the same as that which led to the leave vote in the UK referendum in June. People, whether at the end of their tethers economically, or those who see…

Your second paragraph makes a good point, and chimes with something I have been worrying about for some time. When white women are constantly being told that they cannot be feminists by a noisy minority of women in the current feminist movement, even women like me who have being activists in the movement historically,…

99% of people have an IQ lower than me. It’s times like this when that’s brought home to me really really hard.

I hope every single person who voted for him gets cancer, gets made redundant from their job and loses everything they care about.

Not only not free, but sitting in the shower for extra minutes is downright wasteful of both power and water. Get in, get clean, get out.

I’m a stay-at-home ‘lark’ who needs a good nine hours sleep but I live with a nine-to-five working ‘owl’ who is happy with seven, and content with six. We compromise by going to bed at 11 PM (sleep by midnight) during the week, and 1 AM at the weekend, and getting up at 7 AM; but I have one and a half hour (ish) naps…

This reminds me of the ‘debates’ I used to have with an ex. If we needed a tool (especially a power tool) for a particular job, one that would get used incredibly infrequently, say two or three times a year, he would still insist on us buying a professional quality, super-expensive version of whatever it was. My…

A good many of the recurring ‘minor’ characters: Zoe, Leon, Hersh and Control, Agent Snow (stops listing the stream of consciousness of awesomely-acted roles before it takes over the whole post) helped to make the show as good as it was - whoever did the casting did a fantastic job. Such a good show, destined to be…

This is so true. Thank you for putting it so clearly. My feeling is slowly veering towards “Well if this is what passes for feminism these days, it can **** right off.” I find this very sad as I have been an active campaigner for feminist and other social/environmental issues since the late nineteen-seventies. (When…

It may sneak in under different names:

Your post made me smile; ‘professional women writers’ with no access to dictionaries either in book form or online, it would seem.

To critique, even when used as a verb, does not mean to criticise. I’m using the British spelling of criticise deliberately here, but the US dictionary site uses a z. Here you go:

There is a lot of unpleasantness towards people who do not conform to the ideological dogma that is the orthodoxy here. The stupid thing is that it is driving a lot of women away from involving themselves with feminism because they are made to feel unwelcome by this vocal minority. I have considered complaining to…

It’s articles like this which are making me begin to hate this site with its faux-offended-outrage clickbait bullshit. Every damned day we are meant to get upset by some trivial nonsense that has no importance to anyone with even half a life to live. Jezebel needs new writers, writers with more of a range of views on…

Indeed, she has nothing to lift...

Misread the headline as referring to Pot Noodle, wondered how the hell that would keep cars away, clicked on article in curiosity, most disappointed. Although it still seems to be a decent idea. Lots of people in the UK use the reflective frame-things that stick out, and I’ve seen a laser-thing (?) that projects onto…

I would love to see her come back in a few years and be US President herself in 2024 maybe? Or, she can come over here and be UK Prime Minister, as soon as she likes, we could do with the help.

That is really bizarre; you shouldn’t be getting mildew. Could it be that the wall behind the tiles is damp? I’m at a loss to suggest anything else :(

Chickpeas, chickpea flour (besan) and ‘aquafaba’ are weird. They smell really strong and you think “Hell, this is going to really mess up my baking”, but then it doesn’t! I use chickpea flour as an egg-replacer in savoury recipes all the time (I tend to use linseeds for sweet stuff), and so I tried the chickpea…
