Did It To Yourselves

Exactly. I don’t think it means rejecting feminism, though. But it does mean rejecting the man-hating “All men are evil rapists all the time” brand of feminism that has come to the fore the last few decades.

And that tweet is 100% right about why no man helped her: If one had chosen to do, in the feminist accounting it’d be because “he only wants sex.” But not helping is also criticized — the typical is “he’s oppressing me by not meeting my needs” — but it is the safer path. I’d do nothing too. It’s better just to never interact in any situation where you could be called a sexual harasser and dragged on social media. That risk never pays off.

So, women got the world they thought they wanted. Turns out they didn’t. Imagine that.

Up and Out

How do you keep showing up when the Help Desk has completely destroyed your soul?

No one can last more than 2-3 years on helpdesk. I did it full-time and exclusively for around two years and if someone had put a red button that said “DESTROY ALL HUMANITY” in front of me after that stint in hell, I would’ve slammed that doom switch so hard I would’ve broken my hand.

You just experience the very worst and stupidest there. All day, every day.

People should be rotated out of that pit and those stuck there should do everything they can to advance their careers to get out of helldesk. It takes a huge toll on your soul.

It’s Her

Agreed. Damn you, Saoirse Ronan, why must you be such a blight upon my existence. First, you have the gall to have a difficult-to-pronounce name just to spite me and my girlfriend. And then I know it was you who is digging up my garden. I just know it. You sneak in there at night in a raccoon suit. It doesn’t even fit right.

I’m certain you’re laying hexes and sending me coded message of pure maleficence in every TV interview. That’s why I watch every single one to make sure. There is no evil to which witch Saoirse will not stoop. Something must be done!

Indifferent

Why are some people indifferent to cheating?

What does it have to do with me? I’m not the relationship police. I don’t know why people do what they do.

Why do I care one way or the other what other people in other situations get up to? It’s completely none of my business. The desire to pry into and pass judgment on other people’s private lives and decisions are a good part of what is wrong with the country and the world.

I’m mystified by people who think this is their territory. It’s just not.
