I was 42 when a cute 23 year old I knew made it very clear he was into me. I thought he was insane for digging an old lady like myself. He thought I was a beautiful, hot, sexy, woman.

It's not fun when he likes it.

Bae and I are gonna Netflix and Chill All. Weekend. Long.

Tom got insulation and a bio child. Katie got the same kind of access to acting opportunities as Nicole Kidman got during her marriage to Tom, but she's not a good actress so it didn't pan out so great for her.

I for one welcome our new Univision overlords and would like to remind them that with my passing knowledge of a little bit of high school Spanish I could be instrumental in recruiting other commenters to work in their sugar mines. `

“He said a lot of things, made a lot of promises, but I think the thing that touched me the most is I think this is the guy I can trust for the rest of my life.”

That's a possibility. Or given the way he just took over, I'm guessing she's gonna be in "second place" the rest of her life.

She won silver, but patriarchy won gold.

Sexual assault didn't do that girl any good but who's counting.

There is a real class division in how people view potlucks. Higher income people view them as lazy and cheap. Most blue collar folks see them as fun and a great way to have a party. There are a lot of people who can’t afford to invite 20-30 people over to eat. Blue collar folks also don’t usually do wine/ hors…

Those non-gmo macaroni pictures aren’t cheap!

No, it was 6300. I think he spent it all on lube.

this baby nero looks like he’d slit my throat to use my blood as rouge. no.

At first glance of the photo I thought he was Winona and I was like, “girl, Stranger a Things is a hit, why are you being an asshole again?”

It’s really amazing. It’s especially frustrating to consider the fact that This American Life gets constant criticism for the vocal fry that their female contributors exhibit, but IRA GLASS—who has like a textbook example of vocal fry—never gets criticized for it.

“Robotic” and “insincere” are both perfectly fine criticisms. So, in fact, are Sullivan’s “pedestrian” and “uninspiring”. People are free to disagree with you, but those are terms that are routinely applied to male speakers as well as female.

What a coincidence! It just so happens that there’s virtually always something objectionable about the voices of women who speak up in public. I’m sure it has nothing to do with internalized sexism. Just like how women are criticized for every vocal trait imaginable—saying “like” too much, upspeak, vocal fry—while men…

You can address it, but address it in a way that isn’t sexist. The criticisms launched by Hume and Sullivan both fell into the trap of criticizing her for things that, if they were coming from someone with the bass provided by having an adam’s apple and more testosterone, would have been considered perfectly fine.

1. They’re right that Hillary Clinton’s speaking voice is a far cry from the mellifluous timbre of a songbird. I would not buy any albums she recorded.
