Did we cover the WaPo piece on how dumb women are?
I was disappointed they failed to mention the cooties....
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Did we cover the WaPo piece on how dumb women are?
No, all of us girls were too busy leaving our jobs to "go fulfill our proper lot in life and make our house a home." t rolls eyes

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
the things most important to life at which nearly all of us excel: tenderness toward children and men and the weak and the ability to make a house a home. (Even I, who inherited my interior-decorating skills from my Bronx Irish paternal grandmother, whose idea of upgrading the living-room sofa was to throw a blanket over it, can make a house a home.) Then we could shriek and swoon and gossip and read chick lit to our hearts' content and not mind the fact that way down deep, we are . . . kind of dim
There's a planet on which that's not just posting for the sake of the flames?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"please call the police if you see minorities on our block"
jesus christ. I can't even deal with the rest of the last 50 or so posts.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The writer is sort of a Phyllis Schlafly. She really believes it...but can't make teh logical leap that since she admits to being dim...perhaps she's also too stupid to realize that her stats and thesis are incorrect.
The weapon choice thing is interesting. I've read that it's because women want to leave tidier corpses
This.

So I don't understand why more women don't relax, enjoy the innate abilities most of us possess (as well as the ones fewer of us possess) and revel in the things most important to life at which nearly all of us excel: tenderness toward children and men and the weak and the ability to make a house a home.
If tenderness toward children and men is what I'm supposed to be excelling at, I am so screwed.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
If tenderness toward children and men is what I'm supposed to be excelling at, I am so screwed.
Seriously.
No, I'm afraid I can't find that for you....But hey, you sure are a big strong handsome man, and your children are just darling.

The writer is sort of a Phyllis Schlafly. She really believes it...
dag, ick. It doesn't read straight to me at all. But I am just a dumb girl so...
In happier things on the internet, I hope anyway, may I present my ass:

Last year, at least 37 people died after jumping from the bridge, a suicide every 10 days. Yet for seven decades, the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District has pushed aside evidence that prompted the construction of effective barriers on other bridges and landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Aurora Bridge in Seattle, the Bloor Street Viaduct in Toronto, the District's Duke Ellington Bridge and, most recently, the Cold Spring Canyon Bridge outside Santa Barbara, Calif.
Last I checked, we hadn't built the damn barriers yet on the Aurora Bridge. (I'm all for bridge barriers, for the record. Especially on that bridge.)
