Years of personal experience. That's how I know. Misogynist men always refer to men as men and women as females. Non misogynist men never do that. I'm not assuming innocent ignorance because the person I was responding to showed no signs of struggling with the English language.

Because it's a misogyny red flag when men call women "females." When men are men and women are females it hints that he views men as fully human and women as on the same level as hamsters or lemurs or whatever.

My old number either used to be the number of an airport cab service or is really close to it. I used to get calls at all hours of the day and night and my phone really blew up during the holidays. People would get annoyed with me for not being the taxi they expected and they expected me to be able to tell the…

When I was visiting a friend in D.C. we were walking around Dupont circle and tourists stopped us to ask if we knew where a Cheesecake Factory was. It wasn't even that they were too lazy to find a good local restaurant so they popped into the nearest chain. They were specifically seeking one. WTF?

Apparently "Nice Guys" are still whiny assholes when the do have girlfriends. Who knew!?

Any comment on the internet can be true or can be fake. Most of the time we'll never know. However, these kinds of stories ring true because they match up with real life experiences. It doesn't matter all that much if it's true, it's a jumping off point for conversation.

What a mess. I couldn't even watch it all. I'm officially over Beyoncé. I liked her for a long time (as much as I'm capable of liking a pop star anyway), but it's over. We finally reached peak Beyoncé.

Is the owl female? If yes, there are females on the packaging. Of course, if you meant human females, there is a word for that. Women. We're called women.

That was fast! I'm sure the number of people who actually can't eat fruit is very small. My point was that the number of people claiming it will skyrocket if fruit free diets become a fad.

The people who think fruit is actually bad for you are growing in number. Now that gluten sensitivity is jumping the shark, I predict the anti fruitites will ascend the Throne of the Special Snowflake.

That's really creepy. It reminds me of that episode of Freaks and Geeks when the bully snuck a peanut into Bill's food and he had to go the emergency room.

A lot of people have certain foods that make them feel crappy. For me it's red meat. For others it's dairy. If a food makes you feel shitty, stop eating it and shut up about it (not directed at you specifically, just humanity in general). I think the reason people roll their eyes at non-celiacs who complain about…

I love Center Stage so much. I'm usually not into chick flick type movies either. Eva was by far the best character too. I'll always like Zoe a little for it. Not the right actress for Nina Simone though.

Agreed. There is a conversation to be had about Hollywood hiring conventionally beautiful actresses and uglying them up to play a character that isn't conventionally attractive because they can't fathom hiring an actress who doesn't fit in a very rigid beauty ideal.

IDK, is it too much of a stretch to think that someone who would do this doesn't understand boundaries and consent and could very well have a future as a campus rapist? Prior Lake is a middle to upper class suburb so there isn't even a troubled and underprivileged excuse here. Just entitlement and creepiness.

Typical troll caring more about the sexual harasser. We need to make it clear that this shit isn't acceptable.

I live in Minneapolis and used to be a canvasser so I have some experience there. It's not a small town atmosphere. It's an exurb of Minneapolis and it also contains a big Indian casino. It's spread out all around a large lake. The high school probably has at least a thousand people. I doubt everyone knows where…

Sickening.

It's just bizarre. I don't see much of that here in Minneapolis luckily. Minnesotans like to hunt and I know plenty of gun owners. Not one of them feel the need to carry a loaded gun anywhere. They're for hunting and the shooting range and kept unloaded the rest of the time. Why would you need a gun to pick your…

I've been watching Gossip Girl today thinking about how annoying Blake Lively is and how much Serena sucks. Why does everyone on the show love Serena so much? I really don't get it. Blair is the reason I'm watching it and I wish Leighton Meester would get more roles. As far as I can tell she's just been in a…
