I want a campaign of #ownyourshit where dudes are encouraged to own past shitty behavior. Maybe the rule is - if three individual women (because of couuuuuuurse an individual woman’s word isn’t good enough) name a guy, he has 24 hours to own it before they spill all the tea.

I briefly dated a guy who said shit like this—about being discreet, talking later, not making scenes, how he appreciated my calm and reasonable behavior unlike his scene-making ex, etc., all that shit. When I found out he cheated on me, I showed him what a scene actually was. While emotional, it wasn’t illogical. It…

That’s exactly how I feel. It wasn’t the first bad thing that ever happened in my life but there’s such a feeling of before/after... my SIL gave me a ton of clothes after our fire because she’s a shopaholic (some were new with tags) and just slightly larger than me, and my mom kept worrying that I didn’t have clothing…

I am one month short of 4 years since I lost my home to a fire. I think Ryan is still running on adrenaline.
For the first few days we mostly held it together... we lost two dogs (one, very elderly who was dead of smoke inhalation when we woke, the other, always easily frightened, we called but, we think, would not…

We lost our house to wildfire in 2008. The day I left, I’d cleaned my house and done a last visual survey. The memory is etched into my brain like a favorite movie. Everything now is defined as before/after the fire. It’s a long road to recovery. Nine years later, and I am still shaken by the loss. 

Fucking Moron should forevermore be everyone’s response to anything thedonald says. Questions after a press conference: “Yes, you in front” “Mr Trump, You’re A Fucking Moron.” Meeting with officials from Puerto Rico: “Let’s just go around the table and everyone say what a great job I’m doing” “Mr Trump, You’re a…

For someone who considers himself quite the lothario, Trump has zero fucking game. He just hits on every woman he comes into contact with until he finds one desperate or dumb enough to say yes.

Well, a stopped clock is right twice a day.

“I think feminist is an insult but I still want credit for being woke.”

All In The Family, or “Archie Bunker” as Tim Allen calls it (he may be thinking of the spinoff, “Archie Bunker’s Place”) was a cultural force because of Norman Lear and how it held a stark light up to outdated bigoted sentiment in the face of the cultural revolution of the late Sixties and Seventies.

Normally I hate performance art, but I am disappointed that I missed this.

I remember when the New Yorker spots would run unintentionally funny headlines like this. Unfortunately, nobody cares about sentence structure any longer, so it’s a lost art.

I generally agree, but I find it rather strange that the letter never once mentions how his/her fiancée feels about this situation considering that this is her sister. We know the LW feels the sister is a user and a nightmare and would rather she not come at all if she insists on bringing her children with her, but…

“Less” is fine when using countable things (like “persons” in the above). However, it would be more appropriate to use “fewer” if the writer used a singular noun that indicated a mass number, such as “people” instead of “person.”

The best advice my mother ever gave me was to never marry a person with a shit family. Do you know what I’d be dealing with for the rest of my life? Or until every one of them/I dies? Their shit family. And you know what else happens as time progresses? EVERYTHING GETS WORSE. The parents get dementia. The sister gets…

I was wondering that myself. I can understand why the fiancee might not want to stir the turd with her sister, but come on, it’s the responsibility of the person with the shitty relative to step up and deal with it. If they don’t want to, well...red flag. I mean, if my partner and I ever make it legal, I’m not going…

I’ll take “macro-decent, micro-asshole” over “micro-polite, macro-genocidal” every day.

Are you aware that Obama deported more people than any previous president? More than Bush 2 even.

A brilliant and beautiful friend of mine once paraphrased it as, “There may be people who say ‘No’ when they really mean ‘Yes,’ but I like to negatively reinforce that behavior by not having sex with them.”

He loves weddings so much, he had three of them!
