Oh you mean the “chivalrous men” who then expect you to fuck them for helping you out? Those men? The ones who then harass you when you won’t do that? Those are the only chivalrous men I’ve ever met. as for solicitous boyfriends who beat men up—really? That’s pretty fucking uncommon. Never happened in my life. Men…

Ugly women are also commoditized, they’re just seen as commodities that have little or no value. Ugly* girls are harassed, groped, flashed, and assaulted every day. Old women in their 70s get raped. It’s not about looks, it’s about opportunity. In fact, if anything, ugly women are more vulnerable because they’re not…

A lot of white women have the same ignorant attitude about police brutality. And when it comes to sexual harassment, black men are just as bad as white men. Most people just don’t care about any problem that doesn’t affect them personally.

Parents can do a lot. They’re with their kids more than any other adult, for the most part (I know there are exceptions for parents who have to go back to working ridiculous hours from the second the kid’s out of them.) That’s a lot of time to get the message about respecting people of other genders/races equally to…

This is kind of why I hope I have sons. So I can raise them to be good, respectful, feminist men that will make the world a better place. There aren’t enough of those yet.

When I tell my stories, I’ve had men get near physical violence with me. They do not want to hear us. And they will blame US. We are the harridans, we are hysterical, we hate men. It’s neverending, honestly. I’d rather talk to a wall at this point. At least the wall won’t call me a bitter cunt.

This is great. Because, really, I’d been meaning to give up red meat.

Ugh, this reminds me of the times my ex side-eyed how much/what I was eating. Fucker is lucky I put up with him as long as I did.

she didn’t get upset just over a slice of pizza. she’s upset because you do this all the time, you fucking moocher. get a job because it looks like she’s supporting the relationship.

He was being purposely misleading about what he wanted and had the audacity to record her like she was just being the “crazy” “overly dramatic” “ball and chain.” This is everyday sexism, everyday patriarchal thinking. That dude is an asshole. Dudes need to stop taking our food and then calling us childish and crazy…

I can’t stand people who do this. Don’t touch someone’s food like that. Growing up, I’d always watch my father do this whenever we went out to eat. He’d finish his meal, then start picking off other people’s plates. A fry here, a crouton there.

Also, men who don’t realize how gendered food and food-sharing are. She’s a “pig” now. Fucking hell.

The thing is, he wanted chicken, she bought him chicken, she asked if he wanted pizza, he said no, he nibbled hers, pretended he didn’t want any, and then ate the original fucking thing anyway when she bought herself a whole other slice. This fucking guy is too much work, he’s a goddamned liar, and he can fuck off…

Yes! The godawful metaphor comparing a woman to something expensive, exotic, or dead is the first sign a piece has been smashed out by a semi-sentient boner. I think you definitely have a point that said boner is writing for itself more than other boners, but I assume these writerly boners think their boner experience…
