I’ve been working for a small company for about 7 years now. Our holiday party takes place a week before Christmas and is a half workday followed by a nice staff-only lunch. Afterwards, staff go to a nearby bar and spouses, partners, roommates, and some old staffers show up and party for another couple of hours on the…
Or, act like a Goddamn adult at your workplace, or when out in public in general. I mean, these twits manage to put on big boy suits and drive cars and shop without running down the streets screaming and grabbing random boobs, so what is the trigger for them around female colleagues?
So here’s the thing: I work on Wall Street. I’m a guy. It’s not just that men are creeps around women. It’s that they’re creeps all the time. Constantly. I was in an all-day meeting two weeks ago where there were no women present, about 20 dudes in a conference room. Within two hours, people had started literally…
Yeah, it’s weird. I’m a guy in an office. I have never been accused of sexual harassment. And to avoid it, all I do is rely on my trusty two-step decision tree matrix. It’s never let me down:
Men who say they don’t know how to act or talk around women for fear of being accused of something freaking kill me. They act like it’s some big mystery and there is no way to know what is wrong. I always tell them, if you wouldn’t say something to a man don’t say it to a woman. If you wouldn’t touch a man in a…
It’s weird how their primary strategy isn’t, “Maybe let’s just not be fucking creeps.”
A disturbing amount of people in my Facebook feed, people I’ve always known to be thoughtful and intelligent, are outright shitting on the idea of getting a flu shot, OR, saying they got a flu shot and now they feel sick and regret doing it/won’t ever get one again... everyone’s peddling their keto diet this and fish…
A right-wing government was elected in our country a few elections back and they’d campaigned on sucking loads of money out of the public service. I was a public servant at the time, as were all my friends, and most of us were on the spectrum between unimpressed and terrified about the election results.
I think my favorite ever viral tweet thread was from a girl who’d change the contact name from “Mom” to her name on the phone of any guy who creeped her out before asking for her number. The obvious get being that it was a real ‘you played yourself’ move, in that if they sent a harmless text, they’d get a harmless…
You’re right. We can’t go around expecting people to drop their friends when their friends are literally putting babies in cages. We can’t go around expecting people to drop their friends when they are in the highest parts of a government defining trans people out of existence. We can’t go around expecting people to…
C’mon. Don’t be mean. Ivanka wrote a letter—by hand!—to a privileged white lady. That totally makes up for being a fascist.
I’ve been friends with people who had different opinions about political or economic issues. A few Republican libertarians and far left of Democrat communists - that can be a fun lively debate. They had their views and I had mine. But I can’t imagine being friends with someone who actively supports the Trump…
DETAILS OBSCURED FOR REASONS!
So twenty years ago, my cousin announces she’s getting married. Ok, cool. She’s having her bridal shower in a German social club somewhere in the mid west two days before the wedding. Ok, cool. I’m her maid of honor, but the groom’s mother has planned this, and I’m a broke college student,…
I’ll be working on a Kanye exit strategy #yexit. I feel bad about his mental illness, but ffs he’s not a stable genius.
Was it because he “lost his shit” or because he was in a long term relationship with someone who was an anti-vaxxer, then did a “I’m anti-Thimerosal” when they broke up?
Thimerosal is a tiny ingredient, important in preventing the growth of bacteria in vaccines - they’re not just throwing random shit in there for the he…
“We in America are misinformed,” he said. “Reality shows have warped our idea of what a hero is, or what the truth is.”
My ex and I hosted a costume party at our apartment. After many cocktails, we all decided to hit the bars. I was most definitely over my ‘o.k. limit’ at that point, but I went along. We bar hopped for awhile where I ran into a man dressed like a sexy female alien* and proceeded to grope his fake breasts. My friends…
Threw up in the middle of the night at a sleepover with 10 other middle school girls. So gross. Sorry Tiffany’s mom for messing up your rec room!
