I asked for a raise after a year at my job, and I had to justify why I couldn't just work overtime rather than be paid more money for the 40 hours a week I want to work. I've heard similar stories from other women I work with, but the men don't have these stories at all. They go in, ask for what they want, and they…

My husband proposed the name of the boat we put Will on and send out to sea with no supplies be called the S. S. Akin. Wonder if we can fit the WaPo editorial staff on it with him. What a fucking dirtbag, and what a fucking shitty response from WaPo and the other publications that think they're helping keep open…

I would put up with someone's kids for a night to see that. I bet it would be great. Most awesome bookfair ever.

I'm going to bookmark this article so I can easily access it the next time I hear some dudebro talk about how women are always fighting over his hot body or for times when anyone makes a claim that women will always fight over a man. I love all the women in this mass text. I hope they all become friends.

It's funny how that happens. I'm actually watching one kickstarter right now that had a huge first day and then kept quietly raising at a steady rate throughout. One of the first times I think I've seen that happen.

I have to wonder if it's just a logistics thing. Everyone in the shows is probably in either LA or NY, so to pull it off quickly and easily, they need to go where the actors are. It would be cool if they could have done a road tour or something. I would give all my money for them to come locally.

I can't figure out why, if she's 19, she feels the need to be kidnapped when she is legally allowed to walk out of the house at any time. Of course, I've never wanted to plot a murder either, so maybe I'm just not getting it on a lot of levels.

As a person who was adopted by my dad in my teens, I'm pretty unhappy with that as well.

So, biological married dads are less prone to violence, is there argument. So, THAT's the reason I was only saddled with emotional abuse, manipulation and emotional neglect but not smacked in the face. Well, that's all right then! At least he didn't hit me!

To quote the great Nero Wolfe: "Those who are not annoyed often, annoy easily." Proof coming from Mr. "It's the Black Plague in People Form."

Well, come on, it's exotic to be poor for a few days or so! Not in real life, mind, but for funsies, it's the best! Then you can claim to understand what the poors go through on a day-to-day basis because you paid 20 grand to do it under extremely controlled circumstances for five days!

I expect nothing less from the man who helped pierce Matt Fraction's nipples on the stage of a swinger's club to promote their comic book launch as a guy in a tiger suit danced in the background.

They're cute! Maybe you don't think they're cute, and that's cool, but I think they're adorable (save the obvious list above, which I agree with, re: colors). I could totally use a Belle set to have along with my other fun undies that I wear on those days when I need Lucky Rocketship Underpants.

It sounds like you're saying we should ignore this one because other places are worse, which I disagree with. Cover all of 'em! I think it's especially important to cover ones that are so linked in some people's minds with positive memories (as Lisa Frank is) because people are probably less likely to do their own…

I've had occasions where I've been pulled into meetings and no one's made introductions, and when I start talking technically, I have seen people suddenly shift and pay attention because there was the assumption (near as I can tell), that I was the admin for whoever had me join the meeting.

Oh, so the continued second-rate treatment of my skills and abilities isn't all in my head. What a shock. Says the woman with a masters who has routinely been confused for an admin because I sometimes go to the copy machine and have tits. No, I will not make you ten copies. Because that is not my job. These are my…

Well, learn something new every day. Thanks for letting me know. The fact that I got no response made me wonder if that were the case.

I am so glad he seems to genuinely realize how messed up it got. It makes me think it was an honest but not thought out attempt to be very romantic.

There are times when it's totally appropriate, and there are times when men's ages are mentioned in the same useless fact way, but yeah, it tends to skew much more towards women. Curry's age has literally nothing to do with this article, so it's mention is weird and off-putting. That's basically where I draw the line.…

Well, my "drink every time a woman's age is mentioned and it's not relevant" game continues apace. Yaaaay.
