Quite possibly the problem is you don’t grovel enough. What seems an Olympic effort for a feminist-minded young lady like yourself is actually just the amateur division of feminine simpering and kow-towing.

Didn’t they mention that you’d occasionally get flowers?

Bullshit, I was a doormat for years and the only guy who ever gave me flowers without first being told to do so by his mother was a 4-yr-old Japanese boy.

Oh, and when I broke that other guy’s heart. That was apparently worth one (1) rose, which obligated me to two (2) months of listening to him try to whine his way back into my heart.

That is, by the way, my favorite article on the site. I like how they think we’ll “fall for” the “I’m a good guy ‘routine’” if they don’t have copies of Playboy lying around. Whatever. I dig Norman Mailer and well aware of the fact that any guy who does the “I’m a good guy” routine is either full of shit or a genuine bore.

Maybe one of the tricks to “getting a woman back to your place” is pretending to be a feminist?

Are we really that cynical? I get told I am all the time, but I never feel cynical.

Cynical=insufficiently enamored of your god-given role as fuckhole and housekeeper.

I don’t agree with the whole hard to navigate thing. This blog and all blogs that use similar templates are among the easiest to read. “Hard to navigate” would be, say, TPMCafe.

You’ve got a lot of practicing to do if you want to reach the Offending Olympics. This is minor-league stuff you’re giving me.

Glad I could offend.

Also, I feel I am more offended by the term “himbo” than “pimpage” if only because one of my pet peeves is gendered language for ungendered activity. This drives me especially mad when people put the word “man” in front of something, like man slut or man purse, as though the man part is supposed to somehow distinguish or mitigate the slut or purse part.

If you’re a slut, you’re a slut. Same with bimbo.
