I am also confused. She went around leaving (presumably relevant) books on or near monuments to women in NYC. I assume the idea is that someone else, also coming to pay tribute to those women, can enjoy the books! It’s a little whimsical but not bad, and her twitter showed some locations people might not have been…

Also, my husband frequently carries, and once took off his jeans and the holster - with gun - stayed attached to the pants when he changed. Later, I came through cleaning the bedroom and accidentally kicked the goddamn thing, since it was just laying on the floor with the pants. As soon as I found him I gave him HELL…

Yeah, at the very least this shows that he is completely clueless. He claims to have picked up the wrong bag accidentally, for one - who manages to get it all the way through security before realizing you have the wrong luggage? And apparently his intention was to just leave the bag, with the gun, laying around!

I suspect a lot of this is tied to how society perceives gender, and specifically how “male” is set as the default. A woman wanting to be more like a man - bad, but not super horrible, because men are better it makes sense that people would want to be men! It’s like the extension of the “cool girl” trope, where liking…

I assume they would prefer he didn’t exist at all, probably.

Yes. Those are not jarring ghostly veils, they are crumpled squares of tulle. Also, did they feed the models black candy? Are their teeth and inner lips made up on purpose?

Yeah I actually am fine with the stunt with the scavenger hunt and copier because the entire situation is so fucking dumb that it is a rational response.

Yeah. Dumb use of time maybe, but since it is in response to a spectacularly stupid idea, it makes sense.

Yeah, but he doesn’t just think she was doing it in her official capacity, he seems to think the university is paying her to bother him - like the university has it out for him. And either one seems ridiculous, as she was clearly just speaking to him as a constituent.

That Mike Bishop convo is insane. Why would he THINK that her university is paying her? And then why would he have this convo in the first place?

I got in a twitter spat recently because someone tweeted stats about women’s fear about being out alone at night and his suspicion that it had nothing to do with refugees/immigrants/minorities and everything to do with MEN. People were SO angry with him but he is completely right. If I am afraid of people it’s…

I worked with a salesman who bought his (second, younger) wife an expensive set of chocolate diamond earrings and necklace for some event. He bragged/complained about it and I didn’t mention that I generally find them ugly.

My engagement ring is from a Kay’s and I am quite fond of it, but my husband is a very cost-driven individual and did a lot of work to find a store that gave him the most bling for his buck. I would not have chosen a ring from Kay’s if it had been me, but I had asked that he do this himself (he is not romantic and we…

I am only a little old and sleeping in a tent at a festival sounds like hell. I occasionally do ONE day of ACL and am completely done afterwards.

I can’t help it, I really, really like that haircut. I think it works well on a lot of guys - controls the sides but lets them have a little bit of actual hair on their heads. My husband has super thick, unruly hair and could look great in it but instead just has it all cut super short and looks like a bobble head.

Yeahhhhh same I think it’s a really flattering haircut for both genders. I’ve been thinking about an undercut myself.

The real problem they have, that they can’t say to these women, is that they are scared of the creepy looking trans women who don’t look feminine enough for them. THOSE people are gross and thus shouldn’t be in the bathrooms with their women. Laverne Cox presents very feminine and while this dude hates all trans…

Well, in Texas, our stellar Lieutenant Governor has said that men can defend themselves so it’s not the same issue.

This was a spectacularly boring looking preview. The only interesting part was picking out bits of Austin that I knew.

OMG YES
