do you understand that screaming angrily at women on the internet doesn’t make them hate themselves, it just makes them think there are a lot of angry losers like you on the internet? i know you wish you had that power over women, but you don’t and that’s why you troll anonymously. it’s an ineffectual coward’s game.…

Yes. Think of their future. Promising young men. I hope their lacrosse/football/baseball/swimming careers aren’t jeopardized.

Always worth repeating: “Rape Joke” by Patricia Lockwood

White woman checking in with another white woman (at least you’ve implied you are white or something else besides black), the type of misogyny we experience is different than those of WOC (and if you’re a WOC it’s different than a black woman). It is entrenched with other contributing factors besides being a woman. …

I DON’T NEED WHITE WOMEN TO TELL ME THAT I SHOULD BE TREATED AS YOUR EQUAL, IDIOT. YOU are the one obsessed with white people. I don’t have to bring them up to discuss the issues within our community. You know that wanting equality at home and at work, safety, and respect are not white things? You clearly don’t…

I am sorry for what has happened to you. All black men did not do that to you. White women want to convince you otherwise with nonsense, stop falling for it

Why is talking about the reality of what Black women face anti-Black male? We are always told we’re being divisive when we talk about what’s going on. It’s a great way to silence us and nothing has to change. This has nothing to do with white people and what they want.

A lot of people think pop is bullshit, and I know most punks don’t think of themselves as ‘in the music industry’. No one gets rich off punk, most bands pay to even get to play it for years. It’s a *counter-culture.

Guys don’t do emotional labor. He’s already training her for marriage— it’s now her job to deal with his family.

Do you honestly not know the difference between a nun and a priest?

Amber was/is married to David Cross who is two decades older than she is, so age difference isn’t itself the problem. The problem is James Woods using it as a shield for his hatred of gay people (men, specifically, I’d bet).

I think the more important context in this book is that this isn’t a 24 year old “dating” a 17 year old. It can’t really be a real relationship because of circumstances outside of age. It’s the story of a 17 year old who has a crush on a houseguest and realizes his sexuality. And there is no one else he can express…

This is a solid use of “knows where his towel is,” but Seth Rogen (and most of the Amurican-speakin’ world) REALLY needs to think for a second about where that apostrophe goes in y’all. I know it doesn’t matter ... but imagine if I’d just said “I know it does’nt matter,” you’d think I was a GODDAMN IDIOT and you’d be…

I was 18 when I started dating the 24 year old man who became my husband of 30 years. While I know we have to draw lines to protect young people from predators, and even from themselves, I tend to be more fluid and nuanced about age differences.

So not only does Tamblyn’s description of the encounter ring true, she follows/juxtaposes it with this;

One of my personal mottos has long been, “Do not fuck with nuns, or little old ladies.”

I reread IT recently—I loved it when I was a teen. And I love King in general—he’s just an amazing storyteller and a decent guy. That scene is juts...cray. And not necessary. I remember being like “wut?!” when I was younger, but, much like you, it didn’t seem totally insane (like it does to my adult self).

dude, i’ve seen your anti-woman trolling around here before. we’re not the bitter ones. guys like you are women-repellent, and you know it and it infuriates you—but not enough to actually try to be a better person, just enough to want to harass women on the internet.

i’m 38 years old. i’m not an anything girl, i’m an adult woman.

I know we will have to co-parent, regardless of the outcome, so we are both seeking counseling in order to work through issues to be better parents. I just don’t know what is right, or at least, what other people would do in a situation like this.
