Hmm, let me guess. *Scrolls down*

Like, I get that, in a perfect world, a dude should be able to walk into the lingerie section of Target and see what is up with the latest bralette trends or whatever. But I get to have a problem when he shows up (instead of the sales clerk) to answer my question about band sizes and has never worn a bra, had a pair

This behavior is something that has always bugged me, although the content of what he says is okay. He has openly said that he’s on Jez all day at work and is very fast to make the first comment. Like, great, I guess, but maybe do that over on the NYT or Washington Post comments? Why intentionally dominate a feminist

I regularly visit a women’s fitness subreddit, and it blows my mind how many men show up to offer “advice” on topics they have absolutely no authority on, such as sports bras, birth control, etc. It is just as exhausting when it happens there as it is on Jezebel.

They are not allies. They are terry takeovers. They drown. They smother.

Yes, that’s always bothered me but I have been , as a grey, reluctant to mention. Thanks for doing so.

I think that, in the larger sense of the world, gender does dictate what people can do and where, and so when women carve out a little slice of the internet it would be nice if men didn’t take up quite so much space on it.

It’s not unusual for the top four or five comments to be from this tiresome pack of dudes who seem to think their banal opinions are absolutely indispensable.

And, as ever, the top two comments are from men who comment early and on absolutely everything.

In my family, 4 30-something couples have one child each. I think there is nothing wrong with single child families, in fact, it’s great for planet earth.. It seems the US can become the next China in that regard.

a bigger share of women in rural areas used “one of the most effective methods of contraception (e.g., contraceptive sterilization or intrauterine device)”

Drugs, sex, drinking, and church, that’s what rural life is made of.

To be fair there’s drugs also.

Well, it’s a good thing that a ton of Disney’s visitors aren’t children who need mid-day naps

I’m in the gray here so this will never be seen, but this is in conjunction with WDW offering resort credit gift cards in lieu of house keeping. So this is a way to ensure safety after the incident in Las Vegas even in rooms that have opted out of mousekeeping.

It would take my family about 1 day. My dog, he barks INCREDIBLY loud and it wouldn’t take long for him to freak out and start waking neighbors up from across the street by barking constantly.

I *was* at a boarding school, where the room checks were not daily, but they absolutely went through your shit once in a while when you were out. My favorite story being a student keeping a pet snake in an aquarium under the sink in a cabinet. I think everyone in our town heard that woman scream.

But do they have a mechanism to keep housekeeping at bay? I hate having housekeeping in my room while I stay. I don’t need the towels, soaps, or shampoo, thanks. I am not a slob. I’d prefer to give a tip to the guy/gal that has to turnover the room at the end.

The DND sign goes up from the moment I arrive at a hotel and stays up for twice as many days as I have clean towels. I don’t need my room cleaned every day like some kind of fancy boy

eh.... you could always bring your own signs if room occupied doesnt do it for ya
