  2. Hating women who dance or curse is shorthand for hating women who don’t care what men think. It terrifies them.

    I hope people are more outraged by the fact that Donald Trump wanted to help Saudi Arabia get away with murdering a writer than by saying a bad word

    You know what’s the worst, most boring kind of comedy? The kind where older white men are angry that older white men can’t do or say whatever the fuck they want anymore.

  21. I’m endlessly fascinated by how often men like this say we’re just “miserable”. Like, I will stack my happiness up against a sweaty dude who whines about kids these days and waves his dick around any day.
