“Men aren’t asked about age. Men aren’t asked about their children. Not that these things aren’t important, but I do feel like it becomes reductive when a woman’s life becomes, ‘Talk to me about your kids and how you feel about plastic surgery.’”
—Julianne Moore, by Will Davidson for DuJour Magazine, June 2013.

Vanity tips from a self-proclaimed male feminist

My friend and I had made a friend through some humanist organization in town. We’d already become quite tired of his “professional atheism” because, despite both being atheists, we didn’t quite understand the need to treat it like a religion. He certainly tried to mansplain that to us, but it was boring.

Anywho, my friend is a big fan of weird nail polish applications and had recently been doing some water marbling method. She is a web developer who works from home so she has time for these things. She was showing off her nails to all of us in the coffee shop when our helpful man friend chimed in to let her know that her choice to paint her nails was a mechanism of her own oppression. As we sat agape, he went on to mansplain how all of these fanciful things that we do for our own amusement are actually the yoke of patriarchy keeping us down.

We didn’t respond much at the time, but when the same man texted me a few days later to ask me out, I explained to him that I didn’t date patronizing men. He went on to call me “dear” while defending his nail polish stance in terms that was less murky so my ladybrain could process it. So nice to have such a great feminist advocate on our side!

This dude right here is why I don’t trust guys that make sure you know they’re feminists.

All too familiar.
