I just want one story about the Republican Party that doesn’t make me want to scream “FUCK YOU” at the screen and scare my cats and worry my dog.

Thats a really good way to describe it
Here they are at a barbecue celebrating:
Right, it must feel like being invaded by hostile alien species for 9 months until it’s forced out in blood and pain.
Because giving birth isn't traumatizing?
I have known short men, men with bad skin, men who went bald in their 20s, unambitious men. To a one, all of them who genuinely liked women ended up in a long-term partnership.
i’m not a supermodel by any means but I think I’m a pretty attractive 30 year old woman. I’m currently dating two men, one of whom is short!!! (only an inch taller than my 5'5 self) and one of whom has long ass hair and a little belly. but guess what! they’re both fucking hilarious and good in bed and fun to be with…
I had similar experiences. My father was very hard on me because I was an overweight teenager. I’ve had doors slammed in my face by men, who happily held them open for my more attractive friends. I’ve been openly called dog and ugly by random strangers. I didn’t have a single date for nearly 10 years, but it didn’t…
The only thing I can come up with is that when it comes to self-hatred, women turn it inward, as in “I’m the problem. If I weren’t so ugly/fat/stupid men would like me.”
I have an acquaintance like this too. Also in the same age range - doesn’t take care of himself, makes no effort to improve his life or advance his career or even leave the house to pursue even mildly interesting hobbies, is condescending and inappropriate... and is interested in pursuing nothing but supermodel-hot…
I have a male friend I would categorize as “incel-like.” He’s certainly never expressed any violent thoughts but is filled with resentment over the women who are not interested in him. He’s in his early 60s, does not take care of either his health or his appearance, and can be extremely condescending. He believes the…
Unfortunately because it’s Japan it doesn’t get any more assertive than displaying a message on your phone or emitting a sound saying, “Please stop.” I know it’s a very different culture, but if someone else can forgo cultural mores enough to put their hands on our bodies couldn’t we please forgo those same mores and…
I am a middle school para and I absolutely agree with this. Girl asks male teacher with a slightly panicked look, he will practically escort her to the classroom door. Girl asks a woman, and it is a sigh from deep down, "is it an emergency? You are really supposed to use the restroom between class." (Because you can…
I kind of enjoy the gory euphemisms, though—as I’m meandering erratically toward the end of my period period (SOON PLEASE, OVER IT), I amuse myself by totally leaning in: Red Tide. Massacre at the Y. I’ve fallen to the Red Army. Carrie’s going to the Prom! etc.
I don’t remember any of my friends in middle school ever wanting to talk about it, except maybe a hushed question on whether or not someone has gotten theirs. Kudos to these girls for helping to break the stigma.
Aunt Flo annoys me the most, so does “your monthly visitor.” I don’t know, the thought that something that is “coming to me” rather than something being apart of me is weird and uncomfortable.
all the code words people use to avoid even saying the word “period.”
Young people like these make me hopeful for our country's future. A job well done.
This may be hard to believe, but starting in 5th grade our male teachers allowed girls to go to the restroom as soon as they asked. There were one or two male subs who had to learn the hard way, but it seemed at the time the guys were better about letting us go than the women.
