“89% of Cosmo readers think [Durex] lubes make sex more pleasurable.”
– Things I literally cannot take seriously. Lube is good and all, but addition of “Cosmo” undermines any point you were trying to make.

no, what will happen is I will kick him in the bits because I’ve yet to meet one ‘male feminist’ who wasn’t a manipulative misogynist wanker. this quote rly upsets me, because it’s bullshit; leaving aside whether men can call themselves feminists (they could if...

It’s like this: “we need to talk” isn’t enough because talk is all we do. I’ve got to turn it inwards, admit that “this day is wrong”, that “I haven’t slept in weeks”, that “I wish I was still a poet” and that’s enough to whet your appetite because you’re good at suspicion and sympathy.
Suspicion, because who has...
I dreamt that I was doing something with my life. I was stressed and there were bad men waiting in a car outside and birds loose in the house and my essay on gender was late, but it was preferable.
I have gone wrong.

I inhabit a culture where the word CUNT is the most offensive and most shocking word anyone can ever think of.
And the men are screaming that they suffer from sexism, too.
All I can think is symptom, never cure. Symptom, never cure.
….Since when is cunt the most offensive/shocking? There’s plenty more.

When I was 19, I married my high school sweetheart. He had never hit me in anyway. Never had yelled at me. He was in the Navy and we moved nearly 1000 miles away from home. We had been married one week when he first slapped me. I forgave him. We had been married about a year when he first punched me in the stomach. I forgave him. After about a year and a half it became common for...

BECAUSE “SUNG ME MOONSTRUCK”. Besides, roots
I would counter your “sung me moonstruck” with
“Now there are these veils, shimmering like curtains,//The diaphanous satins of a January window/White as babies’ bedding and glittering with dead breath. O ivory!”
Besides, rhyming again with name.

Hi Sylvia Plath tag!
Just another post to ask - why are you all so obsessed with Mad Girl’s Love song?
BECAUSE “SUNG ME MOONSTRUCK”.
Besides, roots are interesting.

Can somebody explain to me what is supposed to be so great about Sylvia Plath?
I don’t know what to do when I find posts like this under the Sylvia Plath tag. I really don’t.
Like, what are you missing? Are you missing how acutely she describes the anxious human condition in her letters, journals and in The Bell Jar? Or how she built up an entire mythopoeia of the...

I am getting highly bored of being in a bad mood but not being able to take friends up on their offers of meeting me in town due to my bottomed out bank account. Someone give me a job. Please. Like yesterday.

All I have wanted for months is for you to just turn up here. But tonight I feel like if I see you any time soon all I’ll want to do is punch you right in your long-absent face.

Misandrist.
I stopped arguing against people calling me a “misandrist” a long time ago. These are the reasons for why:
I’m not, nor do I plan to begin suggesting men’s rights are removed, diminished or otherwise altered.
I do not commit any acts of violence against men.
I do not believe that men are lesser human beings.
I believe that all genders should be equal and treated with...

The beginning of the year, with all its thieves and messes and pains, has left me heartless.
I was born in September, before the hurricane. By winter, I’d caught the thing that fucked my lungs up for good; now they’re half scar tissue and the other half’s water.
January 31st 2003, the four of us talked about Joan Osborne’s ‘One of Us’ and laughed about the way...

You are putting me to shame with your self-made and your work outs and your strong will. I am weak and full of sugar like so many little-girl dreams. Silence on all channels, though my head is aching, pounding, as if he’s been screaming for these six days and nights straight. Can you hear it? That silence that blooms violence in my veins because all it can mean is sorry. “Sorry,”...

Trichotillomania
This is the damage inflicted when the ex who’d already broken up with me twice looked up from his knees and saw me with my hand in my hair and said, “I thought you’d given up on all that shit.” (Just bend, just bend.)
That cigarette on my thigh and two weeks later writing “DICK” on his forehead in eyeliner pencil while he sad-eyed at my tired eyes, chatted up...

this might come as a shock to some of you, but I’m not actually a fan of this “campaign.” I am a great fan of jokes about misandry. I have two tags devoted to it here on this tumblr of mine.

I’m going to write some pretty self-involved, pathetic shit later.
Sorry and stuff.

There are words that pull over your teeth like cashmere. You’ll repeat them under your breath, training your tongue to slide between consonants, glide on vowels. Claret. Brandish. Halcyon. Lithe. Others, you promise to write them down the moment you find a pen, but they’re gone until the next time you find them in a magazine article or Shaw play. You circle them but never return to...

Why, when women eat chocolate or anything sweet in adverts, is it usually branded as indulgence or giving in to some wild temptation? Can women not just eat a fucking bar of chocolate without it being some sneaky and rebellious act?
Oh no wait, they can’t, ‘cause every woman seems to be expected to be a health buff and continually on a...

I’ve just seen three posts on one page of my dash about how female* bodies are “works of art”.
Please piss off with that immediately.
We are living breathing humans and the fact that you think we need to be told we’re pretty as a picture is a symptom of something monstrous. Pleestop.

Fine, I give in.
2003 - I buy and write a long message inside a “love is…” card but never give it to him. He regifts the locket he’d given to his ex, and a red card with the words “without one, there is no other”. He stays over for the first time and my parents worry.
2004 - Sweetpea sends America’s Sweetheart with a note, “if I could send you C. Love for real, I...

Second, being with someone a lot becomes habit. They become your habit and then what on earth are you, without them? The surprise we feel to find ourselves bereft after finishing a serious relationship should be lesser, for sure, because how else would we feel if we removed any other aspect of our life which had, until that point, been solid? Remove the television programme you’ve been...
