Not to mention the talented women who have been pushed out of their career due to shitty, harassive men.

I love Jenny too! In fact I just watched Landline tonight, mainly for her.

Thank you!!! It’s something I’ve struggled with too, but keep secret.

Man, too bad no one noticed me hitting/kicking boys in school and looked into abuse at home (which there was). Hope things have gotten better since the 90s/early 2000s!

That page opened up a possibly malicious ad on me? Anyone else?

Do this exercise: think of one of those situations happening. You say something dumb. Then what? Imagine yourself walking through that situation. The world doesn’t end. You’re okay! And you’re never stuck. If you really aren’t enjoying yourself some time in, you can leave. You’re not a prisoner. If no one says hi to…

I’m a huge introvet too. But what’s the worst that could happen? Maybe you feel awkward or embarrassed, but no one else knows what you’re feeling. If you go, you know if you like it. If you don’t, you’ll always wonder. It’s super hard, I know, but things happen outside your comfort zone. Push yourself for that tiny…

I use Trip Advisor and recently, Google Maps served me well. I’d look at places that came up near my location, or search a term like “coffee” into Google Maps and came up with my fave places while traveling that way. That was a new technique for me, as lowbrow as it seems.

I remember listening to a This American Life podcast last year where the soldiers were talking about the then upcoming election and they all believed HRC was more likely to send them into another war.

Yeah, seems to be a way to discredit her. Almost like how when a man is accused of rape, the accuser’s entire sexual history is brought up...

Yeah, I read the NYT article a couple weeks ago and think it makes no sense they can’t be employed once out, of top of everything else. Many of the women want to continue the work and it makes more sense for those skills to be utilized.

The dude sounds so bitter, it’s sad. I agree with you - Americans have no desire to change the system regarding stuff like this (parental leave, vacation time, health care, etc). It’s like people have been brain washed to go against their own interests.

What? Sexual assault, pedophila or any range of abusive behaviors are not “human nature.” They are crimes and sure as fuck should be punished. Equating it with alcohol is asinine. Not sure why you’re trying to derail this topic.

No one will see this but did y’all know that Kim was due to be on the Lockerbie flight but cancelled to do more shopping?!

Yepppp this 100x. Basically, it says if you’re in a hetero coupling, the woman is doomed for more emotional labor. Maybe I’m stretching it by including BJs into that, but it is still work!

I once had the opposite experience - my friend and I were the only two women in a cafe full of men and it was the most disconcerting thing.

Hey I had an awful birthday, too (but on the 1st). I can empathize.

100x this. Can’t think of a single guy this saying has been applied to. People’s focus on the sex tape is also slut-shamey.

Wtf? I have an English degree and worked in a law office then went into other work I never could’ve imagined. You’re an asshole.

Glad to hear you had negative test results but having an STI/STD doesn’t make you “unclean.” It’s a very degrading way of referring to people who have them.
