One of those times I really wish we could tag people on kinja.

I see your point, but I also think it speaks to one of the article’s larger themes - that as women we’re expected to just take that sort of behavior and deal with it. Like imagine growing up in a society where being punched in the nuts was just an expected part of growing up and you better not complain about it,…

The point of articles like this is to enlighten them! No one is saying men need to be psychic (although you could argue simply understanding the golden rule does not a psychic make), but they also need to listen to and believe women when they try to explain these things.

PRREEEEEAAAACH

Is that how we should handle men in general then? “Eh can’t expect them to evolve or understand anyone else’s perspective so let’s leave them to themselves”?

i think the point is no one cares, nor should they, about how grabby asshole Tom feels about getting his balls punched. Keep your hands off my ass or suck it up buttercup.

I tend to agree but also right now I just want to go out in public and scream loudly at the world and this is a good opportunity

Saaaaame!

See you there, Jezzie pals!

Came here just to confirm that I was right you’d make this comment

I too am punished because now it’s in my head and likely will be for days

THANK U

Not even gonna lie I dug that song when it came out.

ALSO imo it’s cheating when people take screen shots of text instead of tweeting in 140 characters like the baby Jesus intended.

When your star is in ascendency we’re willing to overlook those things it seems. One day we’ll all be like REMEMBER WHEN SHE SAID THAT WOW

Let’s just say I noticed him cause I was like “WTF is happening with that old dude. hey wait. OH SHIT!”

You would think so! but the ways of the bat phone are often inscrutable! At least to me.

I really don’t have much of an opinion about her either way, but as much as I love Jez and most of the commenters here, we do love to build up our idols to the point where NO ONE MAY SAY ANYTHING CRITICAL ABOUT THEM and then suddenly the feminist bat phone rings and we all hate them. She’s my guess for the next one…
