Oh God, the Countess acting like she did hard time was funny, but maddening. I cannot wait to hear Watch What Crappens take on her dramatics about jail.

I’ve been there. 

I was a teenager around that time, but I mostly hung around with the kids who weren’t getting any (goths, smokers, nerds who played role playing games). We’d talk about how gross and inadequate such shows made us feel, and how unsatisfying it all seemed. It helped me realize how shallow many of the relationships of my…

Let’s not forget the early-aughts explosion of general misogynist shit like Tucker Max and the “pickup artist” culture. It’s arguable that this stuff laid the groundwork for the “men’s rights” and “incel” problems now. 

Absolutely, I graduated high school in 01 and there have been so many things I feel like I have needed to unlearn. No not everyone needs to look like Tara Reid in American Pie. No it’s not cute or funny to make out with other girls to get attention. Actually sex is not the only way to show affection. The list is…

Right?! And then the lovely emo / pop punk boys arrived, murderously angry at women. And the allegations from that era are only JUST starting to trickle out...

Remember the summer of Bennifer 1.0?!

I’ve only sort of realized how absolutely gross being a teenagers in the late 90s/early 00s were. With dicks like Adam Corolla, Girls Gone Wild/girls making out for men’s entertainment, heroin chic models, etc, I know I spent a loooooooong time unconsciously internalizing some really shitty messages.  It’s no wonder…

When somebody is essentially saying “oh, every relationship is a *little* toxic/abusive” I know that person speaking is toxic and an abuser. I have never once felt threatened by my significant other. It’s not normal.

Also, there’s no such thing as being in a relationship, where somebody couldn’t compose something that said ‘I felt threatened.’

Seriously, Jezebel Snark™️ is a great way to get clicks and lulz, but maybe not the best way to get a comment from someone? Just a thought?  

My ‘91 is in the body shop right now; they were excited to “devolve” mine for me.

He admitted it. What does it take?

Junot loves pushing the boundaries. When he left Syracuse, after sleeping with students and all manner of sexual and professional misconduct, he got hired at a place where he interacted with mostly undergraduate men who were not a professional threat to him. Of course he’s ‘behaved’ at MIT. It’s when he’s on the road,…

Yeah, not at all surprising. For more than a year, I was stalked and harassed at MIT by an individual who had already been arrested for felony violence - I documented everything, followed protocol in reporting, worked with administrators, the ombuds and police, and they not only blew off my concerns - they repeatedly…

So in order to survive the kangaroo court of internet convictions, a man must be a survivor of abuse himself. I hear Kevin Spacey in the background wailing #metoo
