Cynical Feminist Does Not Trust Men

It’s feminism week at World Domination Headquarters!
I spent a bunch of time last weekend having in depth conversations with Ian about whether I should believe he’s trustworthy. I’ve been in relationships with guys before who changed a lot based on things I said about morality and right & wrong - but it turned out they [...]

Feminist Punch

Yesterday, over lunch, a dude acquaintance said to me, “Megan, I gotta tell you.

articulate

On Thursday nights, Rachel has an hour of dance class and then I have two hours of dance class. Also, Ethan and Rachel go to their Dad’s. Also, Ian takes Hannah and goes to visit his mom so she can have some grandchild time. Also the kids have early dismissal from school. Also, this Thursday [...]
