hell yeah loved this

@blackburn9 How and when does she do this? She doesn't accuse men in general of doing anything to women. She talks about how gender norms hurt men too and how we all internalize and perpetuate sexism and sexist stereotypes about men and women, not just men. You really should stop dragging that cross around; you'll do a serious number on your back.

i disagree with one of her points, as far as i have experienced, females have been excused for most anger and it has been said "she's always right" though the pms thing is a problem too

[MrJohnnyOldschool]

Nah, more like Animal.

And her lips look like a gay man's stretched asshole.

[blackburn9]

Its quite ironic that the author engages in the same one dimensional portrayal of men, that she blanketly accuses men in general of doing to women. What a misandrist hypocrite

Jessica looks like Gonzo from the Muppets.
