“The modern world is designed for loneliness.”

Some men feel entitled to the woman they date. Subconsciously they feel they should be the one w/ the power to break it off, not her. Women rarely feel the same. They may feel pissed or sad or depressed but rarely entitled. And the thing is... how does he feel now? Better?? I doubt it.

When people bring up the specter of false accusations or wrongful convictions, I always ask how it is different from any other crime. Or any other lawsuit. Yes, it is he said/she said many times. So are all sorts of other cases. Yes, there will be wrongful convictions/expulsions and that will be a tragedy. Just like…

Wake me up when someone wants to actually do something about the fact that this world is run by entitled white men, and all of the rest of us solely exist to make it as palatable for them as possible.

Feminism IS trying to address this. By combating stereotypes of sex as being something a man does to a woman and feelings as something that only women have. By correcting the assumptions that men’s libidos are unquenchable and women’s are to be conquered, and that men are inherently violent and women naturally…

I have never read so many comments from so many people that really don’t understand what the writer was getting at.

It took me and my friends an embarrassingly long time to learn that just because a guy gets aroused around us that doesn’t mean it’s our responsibility to do anything about it. Like when they say, “what, you’re just going to leave me like this??” Um, yes?

OMG she didn’t have a boyfriend? Well then she’s DEFINITELY better off dead. Jesus, this woman is a nightmare.

It’s like a teenager thinking they won’t get pregnant or an STD from unprotected sex - when you’re young, you think you’re invincible. Similarly, when you’re rich/part of a privileged group, threats of disease just aren’t real to you because you have no lived experience with it. Ask a poor person if they’re going to…

That’s not completely true though. So the dudes that get time off also expelled a baby from their body? People that adopted also somehow managed to expel a baby from their body? No. It’s an allowance for creating a new family and dealing with that. It’s a chance to spend some time on something you find to be important…

First of all there is no golden path for mothers at work. It’s not a rose garden.

I’m so glad someone stood up for you, but OF FUCKING COURSE your boss didn’t believe it until a dude confirmed it independently for him.

The fucking entitlement. I mean, I’m an atheist; I don’t think there’s anything left in those bones. But using someone else’s remains, someone you never knew, never sought consent from, to perform your crackpot religious rites is fucking wrong.

Hey, are you me? This very similar background is one of the almost infinite reasons I will never consider having children and when older women tell me I’ll change my mind or I’m missing out (I’m also a lesbian, but that’s not their business) I have to bite my tongue not to laugh in their faces. Show me a childhood…

HE IS NOT WORKING. Freelancing when youre making dirt is not a full time gig if you have mouths to feed. Get a fucking job.

I agree with everything you’ve said, but it’s hard to drum up sympathy when he all but admits he is playing zero role in his kids day to day lives, pays to maintain a gym membership and has qualms about allowing someone else to do the job he can’t right now which is to support his daughter. The system is totally…

The system is not broken at all. The guy just doesn’t want to do work outside of writing, and is mad that his small amount of earnings is being taken away from him and given to his kids, which he doesn’t want to happen. His basic premise is, “I don’t make much, so I should get to keep it all, but I also want to keep…

Cry my an effing river dude. You sound like a whiny selfish teenager. Why is that millions. MILLIONS, of women all over the country find a way to support their children when the men in their life leave them high and dry, but you couldn’t find any source of income? Did you try cocktail waiting? Valet? Stripping? Then…

I’ve seen the exact same thing as you. The most telling part of this article is how he says he might as well go shine shoes instead of work for UPS where is wages are garnished. Because even though the UPS job is providing money to his kids, it’s not providing enough money -to him- so he might as well shine shoes…

This is a wonderfully written piece with a rather glaring error: you don’t owe your kids money, you owe it to the women who relied on their own income to clothe, house, and educate the children you love.
