RT @PimpCartman: Boobs are proof that men can focus on two things at once.

RT @TheFunnySexist: What do you call a man at an abortion clinic? Relieved

RT @TheFunnySexist: Men use love to get sex. Women use sex to get love. Me? I use coupons to get pizza.

Saw a lady in leggings and boots. But it was raining that day, so it was ok.

Seems quite weird to be wearing a tiara at a wedding if you're not the bride.

Friend's definition of "normal girl": "pleasant looking, subservient, no temper".

Tinder guy: I'm so horny today, no fun

"I totally forgot about that Japanese housemate that none of the guys thought was an issue..yeah, get a Japanese housemate if you get the chance. I had one who just wouldn't put on clothes even in winter!"

If "There are six million ways to be a feminist: choose one", can I be one who accepts patriarchy?

If singing Purple Light promotes rape culture, a Messiah singalong promotes Christianity

"You have no idea the kind of irrational shit I have to put up with in the states. I was trying to explain to some Gender studies Major, that when I criticize the idea of a one particular girl in class I am not criticizing the whole female sex. You guys should read the crap they are teaching here the Valerie solanas crap and SCUM manifesto."
