Exactly. I worked for a now-defunct new media company in the late 90s-early 00s, and it was definitely dudebro anarchy— and yes, some of the shenanigans (blow-up dolls hanging from the ceiling?) were both unnecessary and obnoxious— as was the content we produced— but it was actually a decent group of guys. Purile and

Cosigned! I’ll help you write that ubergoth history book when it happens. :)

Omigawd. As an inveterate metaphor-mixologist myself, I salute you for that one!! Fucking EPIC. Man, I’d’ve pulled a muscle attempting that at this hour of the morning.

The uber-goth drama queen in me really wants us to look back on this time of cleaning out the sexual predators as “The Culling.”

You fizzled out quick, didn’t you. Best go back to Breitbart.

Wow, that’s what you got from my reply? Male narcissism never ceases to amaze me.

I hate to break it to you Dwayne but we women KNOW there will be a backlash. This a slow burn that’s finally caught fire. About time. The only people panicking are the dudes who couldn’t keep their pants up from around their ankles in their workplace. Even more men are going to retaliate by trying to exclude women on

“Non-traditional workplace” means, like, people come in at 10 am instead of 9. Or, you know, park ranger type jobs. As we are now learning, rampant misogyny is actually quite traditional.

You can just tell by the arrogant, dudebro mansplaining of their reporting how insufferable and toxic the culture in this joint must be. I am rarely more angry than when they had a little white nerd boy covering women’s body image in Mauritania. Even the Nazi coverage in Charlottesville they put themselves front and

Oh, fuck off. It’s “I don’t give a shit about anyone other than my family” insular attitudes like yours that not only give boomers a bad name, but pretty much got Trump elected, so you can shove your “glorious” up any number of orifices. (BTW, if it’s all so fucking glorious, just why are you whining about the snark

Angela, real talk time. I love you. You are a wonderful actress and you have entertained me throughout the years. You are my broomstick witch, you are my motherly teapot, you are my solver of mysteries. Nothing will take that away. Now... please shut the fuck up about this topic. You’re wrong all the way around on

As a bisexual, atheist, and socialist, I read the title of this article and thought ‘well, he’s not wrong.’ I am indeed actively working towards his ruin.

Really? What’s your cutoff age for shitty people who do and say shitty things about other people? If our plugged-toilet-in-a-gas-station president makes it to 92 (haha, not with that diet), will you be able to get worked up about him?

No snark taken. And yes, it’s exactly that - the first meaning you’ve given it. But it’s still trying to blame the listener, as in “Oh, if you take it in the context of the rest of the conversation, it doesn’t mean what you say it means”, while in fact there’s no rest of the conversation, or it doesn’t change the

I had an asshole neighbor once say to me, “I’m older, you have to respect me!”. I burst out laughing.

Out of context = “I’m sorry you thought I was victim blaming because I was victim blaming but I wasn’t victim blaming.”

Her orginal statement basically said that women are partially to be blamed for sexual assault, because women since “time immemorial” have tried to make themselves attractive to men. So essentially women have to choose between looking pretty vs not being raped.

“Lastly, I would like to add that I am troubled by how quickly and brutishly some have taken my comments out of context and attempted to blame my generation, my age, or my mindset, without having read the entirety of what I said.”

Not that ageism doesn’t exist, (you should see how my mother gets treated sometimes) but I am really sick of older people crying ageism when anyone younger then them calls them out for shitty behavior or opinions.

As a bisexual, I will gladly take credit for this shithead’s ruin. All day.
