The Wolf. AKA, “The Ally.” I broke this down into two types. I know there are many more, but this is based on my most recent and very personal experience. If you’d like to discuss other sneaky douchebags, my inbox at SnarkyFeminist.com is always open or feel free to leave a comment on my SF …
I know I’ve been absent, and I fully intend to complete the “Don’t Be That Douche” series. But I’m not coming back with excuses or dishonesty. So in the immortal words of Rick Sanchez, “And away we go!” I’ve been crippled with my anxiety, which has been a lifelong battle. My PTSD flare only exacerbated …
Don’t Be That Douche – Part 4 Dudes, platforms like Facebook and Instagram are not dating apps. You get that, right? Nevermind. You obviously don’t give a shit. You feel compelled to send messages to any woman you find remotely attractive. Sometimes message after message after message. Sometimes for years. I’m sure that 34th “hey” …
Don’t Be That Douche – Part 3. Being an asshole to other people on the internet, or in real life for that matter, is not an admirable quality. Literally anyone can be an asshole. It’s unimaginative, spiteful, boring, and predictable as fuck. If someone starts to troll my post, 9 out of 10 times I …
Part 2 of 10. If you’re wondering why there are 10, refer to part 1. Okay, ready? Don’t make everything about your dick. Alright everyone, listen up because I cannot stress how important this is. STOP MAKING EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR DICK! See, the all caps means I really, really mean it. Or I’m yelling. I’m …
I repeat myself. A lot. That is because the same shit is happening every day with no end in sight. So prepare for a long rant. Since it is such a long rant, I broke it up into small bite-size pieces. Because I’m thoughtful as fuck. What began as a single blog post has turned …
A more condensed version of this story originally appeared as a Facebook post on Brandilyn Lyon’s personal wall. Brandilyn is a write-in democratic candidate for the 65th legislative district of Pennsylvania, whose primaries are on May 15th. She works as an Early Learning Teacher at her local YMCA with concentrations on gym class, band, and …
The bad news: No matter what I post, some dick-hole feels compelled to stop what he’s doing, correct me (incorrectly), belittle me, slut shame me, tell me how I should feel or what I “really” mean, or otherwise just shit on my post for no reason other than he’s an asshole and apparently that’s what …
It’s hard not to feel like I’m repeating myself when the same shit keeps happening over and over. And over. And new and different douchebags keep cropping up to defend other mens’ shitty behavior, but it’s my responsibility to “delete and block” and not “over react.” Except that I do delete and block, and I …
I’m really fucking sick (and tired) of men telling me how I’m doing it wrong. No matter what the subject is. Your unsolicited opinion is trash. For the most part, it is an excuse to talk down to me, not to “explain” whatever it is they think they are a fucking expert at. Oftentimes, they’re …
