As a woman working with almost exclusively male clients, I type out my emails how I would normally say them, and then go back and remove all instances of “just”, qualifiers and filler words. It gets the point across better and faster and they respect my authority much more. I am working on doing it in person, too.…

Solution:

That sounds like bullshit to me. If you are sure of your opinions, what does he care? I hate it when people call assured women “opinionated.” If he asks you does he want you to stammer and do a whole lot of “I don’t know?”

The reason women talk like this is because we are told we are too direct, forward, bitchy, abrupt, pushy, irritating, and just plain annoying if we use the same language men do.

So replace “sorry” with “apologies” and replace “just” with... Shit, I don’t know. “Just” has a few nuanced different meanings based on context. Though in this case, maybe we can replace it with “Hey fucker”.

Holy crap. I write every email like this. Not surprising I guess as I am a young female professional mostly writing my emails to older, male psychiatrists. I'm gonna change this!

My boyfriend and I are both trying to remove this word from our work vocab and it's really damn hard!

Well what do you think they're chasing all that glorious cheese with? IT AINT ICED TEA FRIEND.

If they pulled that shit on this Paris, they’d be dead by now

I find it fascinating, too. Not only how we choose to use the language, but how from decade to decade, the perception of what is an acceptable age difference changes.

If I’m at a busy bar with a group of people and I’m hosting them (meaning I’ll be placing the orders), I’ll approach the bartender, put a $20 on the counter, and say “Hi I’m tipping you up front bec I can tell you’re busy. We’re sitting over here but I’ll order all our drinks.” Then I place my order. If the bill is…

Kim is pregnant w marionette barack obama?!?!!?

Nah, love isn’t dead - as long as Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn are still together, I still believe.

That Jennifer Aniston had been pregnant for a HUNDRED YEARS.

Lovin’, Touchin’, and Squeezin’ needs to be consensual, people. jfc

Think Who’s Crying Now just got scrubbed from this tour’s playlist?

right?? i was ghosted by a crush back in april, and though i’m over the love lost and so forth, it still really fucking stings that he couldn’t have been like, “yeah, sorry. i’m just not interested.” no no, he had me staring at my phone for weeks, just hoping i crossed his mind ONCE for every billion hours i spent…

That photo is the single greatest photo that I’ve seen all day. More pop stars need siblings in bedazzled denim jackets cashing in on their name.

Umph, this is so try-hard I am wincing with my entire body.

I thought that was Janitor from Scrubs...
