Women reinforce the crazy-obsessive stereotype on Pinterest. Buncha cat ladies obsessed with crafts, kids, getting married, and million-dollar home decor they MUST HAVE in their “future home.” The majority of its users look like psycho, unappreciative baby-making machines that just want to crochet, cook, and clean. Alright, ladies who don’t want to stay in the kitchen. Alright..

And you are SO ABOVE ALL OF THIS because you play video games and you work in a computer lab and you’re just ONE OF THE DUDES. This attitude infuriates me EVERY DAY. I mean, I appreciate a good “make me a sandwich” joke as much as the next gal, but c’mon, dude! There are women out there that WANT to get married, have kids, and live in nice houses. What’s so wrong with that? Stop mistreating other women because their idea of happiness is different from yours.

Also: CROCHETING IS HARD. HAVE YOU TRIED IT? Jeezus.  

ETA: 

me: All jokes aside, crocheting is hard work. 

her: then why waste time on it? most of the crochet’d stuff on pinterest is clutter that no one needs in their house. if you can’t crochet scarves or sweaters or something useful, there’s no need to do it, and no need for a craft room in the house so that someone can crochet.

Really? With Seth and Amy » all about birth control

“When you were young, people died of Polio.” Awesome.

“Don’t get me wrong. Transvaginal is my favorite airline. I have so many miles, I always get upgraded to ‘Lady Business.’” 

“DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!”

Amy Poehler is a national treasure.

Love,

I love this. The idea that men are just as objectified as women in comic books is laughable. Kind of like the men’s rights activists who cite the draft as “lady privilege.” Who draws comic books? Who makes the majority of laws? And as the character here points out, men in comic books look like a man’s idea of a perfect man. I don’t know anybody who’s like, “Yeah, I want a super buff guy, like scary inhumanly buff; the idea of pectoral muscles bigger than a flank steak makes my loins frothy.” NOBODY.

Can we look at the cat to other things ratio of my (and Katie’s!) blog(s) before and after I started dating Bryan?

Welcome to: If Male Superhero Costumes were Designed Like Female Superhero Costumes!

Aaaaa I dunno. I got tired of guys having no idea why girls find female superhero’s costumes kinda sexist, so I, um, made this?

My main goals were: 1) Make it so the first thing you think of when you look at them is sex, whether you want to or not. 2) make it so that any male human who looks at this feels really uncomfortable. 3) make it funny, because, well, it’s kinda hilarious really.

Not trying to start a war here, just wanted to poke a bit of fun.

So, here you go menfolk, welcome to being a girl who likes comics.

Many many many people have messaged me about this post, so I better say something about it!  This is absolutely amazing and completely true.  I especially love the attention to detail, like how Captain America’s foot is up his butt.   I can think of at least a few covers on Escher Girls that has that issue, and it’s usually not one people immediately notice, so, nice job! :D  And the whole thing is totally amazing and really highlights the double standard.  As I keep saying to “but men are objectified too!”, yes, as power fantasies, not as sexual fantasies.

“If you ever start to feel too good about yourself, they have this thing called the internet. And you can find A LOT of people who don’t like you. I’d like to address some of them now. Babsnlacross, you can suck it. Dianefan, you can suck it. Cougarletter, you can really suck it. ‘Cause all year, you’ve been after me. All year. And to my husband Jeff… I love you and thank you.”

The Internet. Oh you.
