huh? no, your comment suggested that men’s contempt for women is a tribal “us vs them” HUMAN phenomenon. If it were merely human, and not male-specific, then women would also display contempt for men on the same scale, and that is simply not the case.

OMG you’re so right. If those damn hussies stopped wearing revealing clothing (i.e. dressing in the style they prefer — which is clearly preferential and special treatment, btw!), men would totally not have a problem with them or look at them as inferior anymore!! God, if only somebody had solved this problem sooner,…

What gets me is that I, as a woman, am always expected to experience men’s ‘tribe’ and that’s perceived as perfectly normal. I’m expected to see that as a common experience. But if, say, a major motion picture features my female ‘tribe’ as major characters, some men freak out about how gendered it is. (See also: Mad…

I think it’s a little different though since we traditionally organize our family ‘tribes’ around heterosexual couplings. There is plenty of familiarity between men and women, and typically the same men who hate women also want their company and attention, so the analogy to racism and xenophobia doesn’t seem fully…

It’s called having your privilege threatened.

then we would expect to see women harboring the same feelings of contempt for men, but that is not the case. not even close.

I have always wondered about the origin of the contempt that men have for women (over generalizing). I got no answers but I suspect it has something to do with women’s control over reproductive biology. Also, they want to find us completely contemptible in their big heads, but their little heads really, really want…

From a design standpoint, yeah, the stripes aren’t good-looking at all. That said, from a practical standpoint, they make perfect sense. Ghost busting is not always going to occur in optimal viewing conditions. You will want something that clearly marks that you are a human being in situations of poor visibility. And…

It’s still crazy to me how much men can hate women, to the point of being absolutely ridiculous and childish. I’m fascinated by this. What is it? Resentment for never being loved back? Insecurity? Frustrated homosexuality? Childhood trauma? WHAT??

And Ethan Hawke! I will never forgive him for cheating on UMA FREAKIN’ THURMAN with the nanny. I have taken great satisfaction in the slow decline of his career.

she's only 36?! gosh plastic surgery can be a bitch.

Right? And not surprising. I feel like Ben Affleck has spent years trying to make people believe that he’s not a total dudebro, but he may finally be embracing his natural inner nature.

What a dick. Fucking someone you and your wife hired to care for your children, whom you let into your private family space? So much worse than cheating outside the home. How shitty for Jennifer.

I’ll never understand why women in their 20s are willing to waste some of their best years on some old dude’s midlife crisis. Especially since between whatever Jen’s settlement will be and the three kids, a huge portion of his money is spoken for.

Goddamn it LOGAN!

Anna, I get it, I really do. I just think we should be better than this. If we can’t beat these assholes on the (dis)merits of their politics alone, we aren’t even trying. This shit is like shooting fish in a barrel so why not maintain the moral high ground and leave people kids out of it?

This is shitty. Loser Kids of Politicians are fair game for our snark if they’re breaking laws or actively seeking notoriety, but this is just mean-spirited gawking. Let’s be better.

This all seems rather mean-spirited and kinda lame. Aren’t there literally millions “adult kids” that get some help at some time from their parents? It’s sort of a sign of the times, isn’t it?

From an autopsy perspective, there is no way this was not a suicide and I’m confident the independent autopsy will just further reaffirm this (we may not actually hear the results of that autopsy, however). The police, hospital, prosecutor, prison staff and coroner are not all complicit in covering up a murder here.…

This is only tangentially related, but - The older man I dated used to bring up his previous partners, tell me about them, and then treat me as if I was being childish if I showed the least bit of jealousy/uphappiness about it. He would tell me way too much. Like how he had anal sex with a local beauty queen turned tv…
