The issue of older men creeping on women in their late teens has been a hot one this week. Did anyone see these two stories floating around on Twitter this weekend?

And this is something like her 15th engagement this week! I don’t have as much energy as she does and I’m 33 without kids (or an empire to rule)!

They are so fucking terrified of her.

I’m with her on the subject of bloater paste.

I (cis-man) support abortion rights. I vote for candidates that are pro-choice. This “they have no real skin in the game” just ain’t true. I’m currently raising several kids. Whether or not my wife has access to abortion rights should she somehow gets pregnant again DEFINITELY affects me. To the tune of several…

This is a good piece (by a Mormon blogger):

At the rally in St. Louis yesterday, a older cis white male spoke about being a clinic escort. We need more like him to be vocal.

So much this. Lena Dunham is fucking trash. I generally balk at referring to another human being as trash but she is one of the few people I make an exception for. She is the epitome of white privileged stupidity. She’s not even an exceptional talent, the only reason why she ever had a platform in the first place is…

Though Dunham and Konner Her story ended up in public view not because she sought media attention, but because she filed a police report

I thought it sounded like they go to the park a lot where they keep their shoes on and where there’s no stream, and that this isn’t a camping family. That, and she actually underestimated the degree to which kids’ imaginations can transform a showpiece, like a garden installation, into a real-life woods. They got into…

Maybe I'm a sucker, but I am fine with all of this. Is it staged? Sure. But it seems pretty harmless. And those kids are darn cute.

I wish I could do this at the salon. 

I use Uber for work and I have unusual looking cases for my work equipment. I get asked all the fucking time, “whats in those cases”. None of your fucking business. Thats whats in my case.

Ay, there’s the rub: not every city is as easily navigable by public transport as London. Having lived carless in Los Angeles for several years, I can assure you that rideshares are by far the most accessible transportation method for both tourists and locals there.

As far as I am concerned, if I am paying for the ride, I get to set the rules: slow down, turn on your wipers when it is raining (surprising how many do not), don’t pass on a curve.  And if I want to chat, I will initiate the conversation.

Because a lot of people live in cities, don’t own a car and and cabs/rideshare are just another transportation option. I’m not trying to have a conversation with the bus driver. Uber isn’t much different.

But some drivers don’t like the guesswork involved in assessing whether or not a passenger wants to chitchat, vent, or be left alone:

I read the Buzzfeed article. All of that is standard cult shit.

Shocked. I’m completely shocked.

What’s the second lady doing down there? It can’t be too much of a mystery: she’s playing with his balls.
