So many bosses want excessive access to their employees in manners that cross some boundaries. On the first day of my first restaurant job, I asked one of the assistant managers if I could leave at 9 PM since, on the schedule, my shift ended at 9 PM. He laughed at me, said, “it's good you didn't ask that when the manager was around,” and we continued working. At the time, I felt like such an idiot because I had never had a job before, so I assumed all jobs were like that. Now I just realize thi…

How will this work?

There are so many underbellies of the internet that expose just how much some men truly hate women. They are obsessed with dehumanizing women and seeing them as none other than baby-making machines, put on this earth to be a submissive companion for a man. Even though seeing such blatant sexism can be kind of depressing, it can also be kind of amusing that people actually think like this. My favorite trad hot take is that women were “gatherers” of berries and nuts in ancient civilizations, and…

Gamers aren't inherently bad. It's not a crime to want to spend hours on the internet, honing skills, streaming on Twitch, and/or indulging in fantasy. In fact, when playing with friends, video games can give you pretty much all the benefits (and maybe more) of a night out with the buds. But when some gamers, perhaps after being holed up for long nights of gaming with like-minded douchebags, are the epitome of misogynistic bros. Twitter account @GamerTakes , while largely inactive, is a goldmin…

Love to see workplace camaraderie.

Andrew Tate is getting de-platformed, and it has already been meme'd to death. For the uninitiated, Andrew Tate is an influencer who has gained an insane amount of traction online over the past couple of months. Tate's videos have been heavily criticized as misogynistic, as he frequently describes his strategies to control and pick up women in shocking and violent ways. His content is essentially a continuation of MGTOW and pickup artist content that was more popular about five years ago. His p…

If you've never heard of Andrew Tate, congratulations! You're either over the age of 16 or not on TikTok , either of which are equally admirable accomplishments. If you are both, even better! Andrew Tate has blown up in a Jordan Peterson-esque manner, catapulting his online presence seemingly overnight. For those who are no longer dependent on our parents, the question remains: who the hell is this guy? Andrew Tate is a former professional kickboxer and Big Brother UK contestant. He was removed…

Gross.

Stop telling the world our secrets!

“I can't wait to meet you. You're beautiful *heart eyes emoji* Would 7ish work?” “Thank you, that's sweet *feeling loved emoji* yeah, that should be fine!” TikToker @samantha_roseeeee was excited to meet her Bumble match for the first time. Everything seemed to be going well until he “accidentally” sent her a cruel text message that was supposedly meant for his pals. "All I saw was tits and an easy lay" he said, among other things. But what started out as a seemingly humiliating mistake quickly…

Get a clue.

Mansplaining is not a new phenomenon. We're willing to bet that for as long as women and men could speak, that men were more than happy (or even inclined) to color themselves experts on a subject and trap women into long diatribes about something that they either know about or don't care to know about. The latest hobby or area of interest for the incellular (we made that word up) ‘nice guys’ of the internet is NFTs. Non-fungible tokens and profile pictures featuring them have taken over Twitter…

As a woman, it can feel like I am not supposed to scrutinize the behavior of other women. Some people feel like calling each other out isn't feminist - that we should reserve our judgments instead of taking others down a peg. But there's some behavior that is so universally gross that I can't be quiet - and you could argue that it's more misogynistic than critiquing other women. I'm talking about people who flaunt that “not like other girls” attitude. The “I'm not like other girls” schtick was…

Get over yourself.

It's not that deep...
