Then gather up your balls in your hand, honey, and make your point clearly instead of hoping the assembled will take pity on your feelings.

Nope. Nope nope nope. I police the hell out of that shit, because it’s almost always a replacement for thought. If I ask “Why do you feel that way,” the answer’s usually that the student doesn’t know, hasn’t thought about it, and is at best inarticulate, at worst resorting to and legitimizing prejudice. If you want to…

Nah, good for them. I did the same a while back and the quality of my life improved tremendously. It was like any bad relationship - you had a great time at first, and then it was iffy, and then for a long time it was simply shit, but you kept hoping things would improve, and then one day you realized that it wasn’t…

Sure you do.

I’ve been actually, unwanted penis-in-various-orifices raped.

Aaand...when she did those photo shoots, who made the decision to do it? Who, ah, gave her consent?

And who gave her consent here?

You’re welcome. Please use your own brain next time instead of relying on other people to do the obvious-recognizing for you.

Uh...that’s not killing “for the girlfriend or wife”. The gf or wife is not saying, “Honey, please go murder that guy for me.” These men see the gf or wife as objects that rightly belong to them and shouldn’t be making them feel bad by having free agency and will and legs to walk out the door with.

Most men I’ve ever had to do with, and most men any of my friends and any woman I’ve talked with online have had to do with, are not all that far from violence, screwing women over, criminality, and generally shitty, irresponsible, blame-other-people-for-their-lives behavior.

Thought it was meh and anodyne when it came out, but that it was excusable because as Christian pop went, I mean it was kind of hard to criticize. Now it’s just meh and anodyne — and this is what you’re listening to when there’s an entire Prince catalogue to revisit? Mm.

The fact that twitter allows this kind of shit is why I walked away from twitter altogether. They don’t give a shit about this stuff, Anna. Stop supporting their business, stop supporting their platform. People have plenty of other ways of getting in touch with you, and no, you don’t actually need to reading twitter…

Man makes antique misogynist insult

Right. So: one of the remaining 30% of Americans who isn’t fat would like to know: is it that you’re a teenaged virgin, or is it that you’re, like, 50+, fat yourself, and just used from childhood to slinging that as an insult about women, the way old people who have no problem actually with homosexuality will still…

That’s hilarious. They’re going to have to fight everybody they meet.

Really like the Brits, rest are kind of crap, though must say the USians look like grownups next to the rest. The giant Polo logo shouldn’t be allowed, though.

It astonishes me how allergic the Gakker crew is to the reality that you all will someday get old. Too old to work. Y’all just go totally white-noise on the subject.

Most people take 30 years or so to pay off a mortgage, which means that if you buy a house at 30, by the time you’re likely to really, really, really want…

No...a good sports bra, even a squashy one, doesn’t behave like a compression-wrapped ace bandage does.

Actually I used to use ace bandages before the days of large sports bras, back when I taught aerobics. They don’t actually work very well if you’ve got lots to contain. The most effective sports bra I ever found is no longer made: the Frogbra by Title IX. I still use the one I bought 13 years ago. Very tough fabric,…

Congratulations on your wonderboobs?

If you’re perky at 50, the rest of you may be normal, but — as a veteran of many a locker room — I assure you that your boobs are not.

This has to be, if not the ultimate mansplanation, at least pretty close. Silver for you.

Perhaps these things are best considered by your wife, not you.

Yes, because obviously the most important thing is that she not look like a normal human woman past her early thirties and/or childbirth.
