Exactly! Women are controlled by our emotions but men commit 90% of murders? Hmmmmmm

"I can understand feeling rebuffed," Josh said. "It's like impossible for most dudes to get any response in these environments. But these guys have no idea what to do with those feelings, it's scary. And it's always about their feelings. Always about their feelings. Always about their feelings."

Or you can realize that the nature of tipping means that men feel even more empowered to be a dick in order for the server to "earn their tip". It doesn't excuse, it amplifies.

I guess if they persisted I might eventually say, "Actually, I'm not interested, but thanks!", but I would definitely think it was weird that they kept texting me after I hadn't responded if we'd only been on one date. One time, a guy I'd been hooking up with for about 2 weeks (and super casual hooking up, zero…

Nah, after a couple of dates it's totally okay. You never made a commitment, and honestly sometimes it's easier to send AND receive when you haven't gotten very far with a person. A guy and I dated for two months and we did the fade away, left it as a "have a nice night" text or something, a natural conversation end,…

FWIW, I'll be telling my daughter:

Exactly. If you can't say "vagina" without turning red, you shouldn't be legislating about it.

I just don't understand how a woman today with eyes, ears and functioning brain cells can vote for these jackasses.

If they are asking "what are you" before asking your name, they are racists, no matter what their political affiliation.

I don't think we're regressing. I think it has always been this bad, and was even worse in the past. The difference is that in 2014, incidents like this blow up on the internet. This isn't a top story in traditional news outlets, and never would have been in the past, but blogs and social media mean this incident will…

Happened to me in NYC. The only thing that shut down the questioning was the fact that they suddenly noticed that I was carrying a massive fucking bag with my laptop and about 4 books (seems an inconvenient thing to carry around while working). A massive bag that it took 10 minutes (or what felt like 10 minutes) to…

The man raped a group of women and people set up a go fund me for him? Not only that but people donated thousands of dollars to it? I wonder if these people would have been so giving with their money/support if the victims were white women (probably but the support definitely wouldn't have been to this level)? This is…

There is nothing wrong with "y'all". It's a perfectly functional word in a language that has no "vosotros" or "ustedes".

My in-laws tried to pull the same shit with my husband and I. It was pretty hard not to laugh in their faces seeing has how they purchased a Colorado vacation home on a golf course a year ago.

I know that this is a hard concept for some people but from a sociological viewpoint poverty, like so many other things, is relative. The fact that there are poorer people elsewhere in the world doesn't actually change the fact that most people who are living on $9 an hour without any family money to back them up are…

I thought "living paycheck to paycheck" meant you don't have savings...

If living in a rented house makes you homeless then I guess I've always been homeless.

Ahhhh! My roommate (yes I'm going there) does this ALL THE TIME. Everyday he says something along the lines of: "I'm broke" "I can't pay rent" "I'm living paycheck to paycheck." COOL then stop buying the newest gaming system and the newest games and a big screen and a printer and stop going out to eat/drink every…

Yes! Or even "I spent all my money on normal life stuff—bills and food and clothes and etc. and I don't have extra money for a vacation." That is still not what I'd call "living paycheck to paycheck." To me, that means you are scraping by for the normal life necessities and are concerned about things like getting…
