Woody, is that you?

Most critics agree that television is currently in a golden age, and I would count shows like The Wire, Deadwood, Breaking Bad, and True Detective as “high art.” I would rather watch any of those than be forced to watch anything Woody had made in the last 20 years...scratch that, I’d rather watch Keeping up with the…

Did you go to college? They are gossip meccas. There is no way the girl took a non-required course without knowing what the final project was, I bet it’s campus lore. And she would have known about it in the first class when he went over the syllabus, so she could have dropped the class at any time. In a performance…

If you always speak up for your daughter rather than let her make her own decisions, she will never gain the nerve and will be a frightened, shy adult who misses out on life and can’t advocate for herself. That is bad parenting 101. Also, there is nothing inappropriate about nudity in an art class.

My mama and I have a very close relationship, so I am very lucky and have a lot of great stories, but one recent story that sticks out was about three years ago. I’m married and poly, and my mom loves my husband. I was dating someone and falling in love and wanted to share it with her but was unsure of what she would…

I’m lucky to have a wonderful Mom, but I have a horrible, toxic grandmother on my Dad’s side who I haven’t spoken to in years. She now has dementia, so everyone keeps telling me I should go see her with my baby daughter one last time and I’m like Hell No. She was/is a terrible person, dementia doesn’t erase that. I’m…

I know someone who had a huge lavish wedding with 15 Bridesmaids (which meant they then had to recruit 15 groomsmen, you know, to match)....the marriage lasted a little over a year.

This might be my new favorite comment ever. Also, your handle is amazing.

I have no idea why they do this, but it is a thing. I remember in my early twenties I was taking the subway to an internship when this guy in his fifties decided to chat me up. I usually carry a book with me, but for some reason that day I didn’t have one so on an impulse I bought an issue of Glamour just so I would…

I’m not your straw feminist. I never grouped all men into creepers BUT all women have stories of men creeping on them so it’s not like they are few and far between.

Well ideally it’s not supposed to be a dating site, which is why there is no search function for gender/age/location, but unfortunately some dudebros don’t get the memo. As a social media site to connect with your kinky friends and share interesting kink-related ideas it’s fabulous, and I’m serious when I say some of…

You’ll be okay, just practice your bitch face and try to project that you know where you are and where you are going.

Ahh, that’s a little better. Note to self: read the full linked interview.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that it’s a matter of scale, and that there are very few “militant feminists” making death threats when compared to deranged MRA’s making death threats. Also, from the examples I found, a few of them were men...so...

This reminds me of something I read on Fetlife* recently. A woman was sitting outside, quietly reading her book, when a guy approached her from behind and creepily leaned over her shoulder. After a few moments he asked her her name and she replied “none of your fucking business.” Since this woman struggled with…

Hmm, the worst examples I can find are all still pretty light in comparison to say, what Anita Sarkeesian gets on a daily basis in the thousands. Not saying it’s right, just saying that overwhelmingly it looks like most of the negative tweets were valid criticism or tongue-in-cheek threats to punch him, not rape and…

Did he get death threats? I haven’t been following this story closely but usually that’s the anti-feminist MO rather than the feminists themselves. Off to google...

Yes. Because poly and kinky people are the ones trying to shove their way of life down everybody’s throats and legislate morality rather than just, you know, being.

“A few bad eggs”

This is so tragic. I hope she finds her power and her voice again since she sounds like an incredible person.
