To me there is a HUGE difference between attention from boys of the same age and from adult men. I don’t remember a time when I didn’t get attention from boys. Sometimes it was awkward (being pelted by rocks) sometimes it was sweet (like the boy who kissed my hand in the kickball line in 1st grade and proposed. He…

Just give me the baby and the Steve Buschemi dog and we will all go live happily ever after far the fuck away from these garbage people.

Cue the MRA whining: “how are we supposed to know what is seduction and what is assault?!” Answer: Consent, body language, and common sense.

Touching the buttocks, breasts, sex, mouth or thighs of a young woman without her consent is sexual assault. It is illegal.

My conservative little cousin says he will move to Canada if Hill wins. I was like, dude, really? Conservative bastion of misogyny, Canada?

We need that comment. It’s Monday and I want some goddamn vindication for my feeling of superiority.

I think the best way to answer the question is “Of course! People should elect the candidate who has the best skills to lead the country, no matter what their gender.”

$450 for a flowery pillow case with arm holes? I have a whole entire Dance Of Nope, and I am doing it for that “blouse.”

It’s not just that the prices have skyrocketed, it’s that the quality has tanked. In college I would splurge on one of their cashmere v-necks a year and gradually built up a nice little collection that lasted most of a decade. Two of the last three sweaters I bought there arrived with holes in them. Also 98% of their…

I'm at an age now where I can get away with saying things I would have never said when I was younger. I'd have smiled sweetly at the woman and said (in my not-fake southern accent), "Your children have the loveliest manners! They are so well-behaved! You must be incredibly proud of them since they clearly didn't learn…

I do this a lot at stores and things if I'm in line behind someone who is acting a fool over nothing. I don't "read the riot act," per se, because that usually just makes them more angry, but I stand back there and say things like "Are you really doing this right now?" or "Your temper tantrum is wasting everyone's…

She was trying to fill her monogrammed thermos.

SO weird that our MRA friends aren’t here, sharing in our outrage over this clear instance of an adult woman teacher raping a male student and the public not treating it as seriously as they would a female student being raped by an adult male teacher...

“She needs to give up that dream like yesterday.”

Mad Men has often been difficult for me to watch. I am of a generation that was raised by these women, and so my struggles in the workplace have been far different. When I get frustrated about the piles of microaggressions I wade through each day, it's instructive for me to look back at these horrors and realize just…

I also love that they thought a pregnant woman passed out and started having a seizure AND STILL GAVE HER NO ASSISTANCE! Life is precious, my ass.

Worst place I ever got sick was camping in the Sierra Mountains with my family. After a week of camping, on our last night, I was struck with a really nasty stomach bug. We had spent the afternoon drinking margaritas, so when the first wave of nausea hit, I thought it was the tequila. But no. How I wish it had been…

I have a super dramatic fainting story. When I was in college, whenever I came home for breaks I had to go to church with my family (I was an atheist then as now, but it was a requirement of the house.) It was a super conservative catholic church with latin mass. It goes without saying there was to be no eating before…

I was told that my attire was “too corporate” and that I should try to “soften” my look up. My normal attire is button down shirts and slacks, just like the other (male) employees. I asked what the clothing allowance was so that I could replace my presumably offensive wardrobe on the company’s dime.

The first example to come to mind:
