I always tell my kids- listen to those feelings when you have them about someone, especially an adult. Sometimes in life, we meet people who seem perfectly fine and everyone else seems to know them and like them, but they give you a yucky feeling deep inside and you won’t always know why. Listen to that feeling and…

The rumors about Bill have been around for a while, so I’m sure she must have heard something over the years. He was a close friend of Hugh Hefner’s and frequented the Playboy mansion during the entire time he was pretending to be America’s Dad. I always found this to be so ironic. The real Bill Cosby barely hid his…

GAH! Same here! After one of the guys in our office left, I said to someone I wasn’t sad since he always just... bothered me (am a woman). One of the other ladies just burst out with an ‘OMG HE WAS SO CREEPY!!!!!!! Said awful shit when no one else was around etc etc.’ It feels good to be validated, but so sad that it…

I’m sure lots of people will weigh in saying she should have said something sooner but considering there are people who don’t believe women even with irrefutable proof, “bad vibes” is the kind of statement that can end up soliciting eyerolls from everyone. And unfortunately, having a boss who is preoccupied with your…

I’m generally pretty eyerolly about karma and energy and that kind of shit, but this is absolutely relatable to me. It’s like meeting a friend’s new boyfriend, feeling vaguely disquieted but having absolutely no specific reason to speak ill of him...and then come to find out years later that he was an abusive,…

I’ve been to a few drag king shows, and a few shows that mixed the kings/ queens. I’ve really enjoys the performers who rocked the androgynous King look. Perhaps that’s because I see enough hyper masculine “alpha”type men in real life that’s it’s not entertainment (though there was a performer who was obviously a…

Cosplay communities essentially have a lot of straight women convincingly dressing as male characters. In part, this is because a lot of Asian male characters have pretty feminine characteristics by American standards, but even masculine male characters can get played by women with results that I personally find a lot…

I think part of the problem is that hyper-masculinity is already too prevalent in everyday life. You really don’t see hyper-femininity very often out in the world, and i think that’s part of the allure. You don’t often have to deal with many people who act as a drag queen might and so that persona is more fun to see…

For me, Im sick of men. (Come at me MRAs!) So, while I get the thrill to performatively become one on stage, as a viewer, theres nothing in it for me. I dont want to spend any more time looking at them. I get to see someone absorb into the overall powerstructure that I live day in/day out, which is so insidiously…

I personally do not under value lesbians in society, but I just don’t find their drag as interesting to look at. In the end, drag is a show - and if its something that isn’t visually or emotionally captivating to me I am going to zone out or not go.

You’re right. I think what makes drag queens more captivating is that hyper-femininity comes with lots of ornamentation, whereas what is hyper-masculinity? Aggression and musculature? Violence? I mean, that’s a tough act to make palatable.

It really irritates me how the “difficult” reputation follows women around. You know what? Her storyline DID suck on Grey’s.

Thank you. The whole way Millie Bobbie Brown’s career has been handled is incredibly gross.

she’s such a sweet kid. They’re going to make her into the next Amanda Bynes or Lindsay Lohan. Hell, they already had “Sexy Eleven” Halloween costumes. I hate this fucking society

I got married at the courthouse and then we drove to the beach to get stoned and watch the sunset. I would highly recommend my method. A wedding at St Paul’s is not a “low-key” celebration, I don’t care who you are.

Oh my gosh!! I think I actually witnessed this in college! I was in a dorm room with my friend Madeline and her roommate (also maybe a 4th person, can’t remember). Madeline was folding laundry or something and she said “Telephone!” - like literally 1 second before it actually rang (it was a landline). We said…

The NYT article said that among other things, Paul “Grew pumpkins and composted.” Paul probably did something douchey like put his compost pile right next to Boucher’s property line or something. I can’t imagine living next to Rand Paul for 17 years.

If you’ve met Rand Paul you’d wonder how his own wife is able to fuck him. Someone else’s wife is out of the question.

the two “had been known to have ‘heated discussions’ about health care.”

I’ve never been pregnant but that used to happen to me a lot. Sometimes it still does, but I remember it happening more often before cell phones.
