I do too! For me it’s because my dad, who is a raging and proud misogynist, calls all women gals. 87 year old woman? Gal. 16 year old child in short shorts he’s ogling? Pretty ‘lil gal. Accomplished grown ass women? Mouthy gal.

A self-hating one at that. He advocates for “gays to go back in the closet” and that he’d be straight if he could help it, and he has said that “gay rights are detrimental to humanity”.

Nah, they don’t even care about boning. (milo’s gay) They just hate women because their misogyny and racism makes them feel powerful.

Here’s some shit Jezebel didn’t…

I wouldn’t mind if all the religious fundamentalists of the world got raptured right now, so the rest of us could enjoy the planet in peace.

In short, this is an adventure in Ross Douthat’s apocalypse of sexually liberated women and laws designed to harm families, but with a happy ending only he could write. Imagine if God met the man at Yale, but then took him to Hot Topic.

I think my life goal as an academic is to have a crazy republican call my work garbage and publicly throw it away. It would be the greatest compliment.

Yea and how you’re forced to have the same convo again and again. “Are you excited” “Omg so excited! Chubby cheeks and little shoes! I love them already!” and God forbid you say “not yet, I’m actually terrified and don’t feel any emotional connection yet”. It’s not so much being pregnant in public as being forced to…
