Really cute picture after megabus broke down in the middle of Harlem and a new bus didn’t come until 5 hours later. Currently in the Brox. Be home to Amherst by bedtime for graduation tomorrow. Greaaaat.

On the bright side, I had my interview Thursday, and my former internship supervisor said she got a call for reference and the people said good things about me and that she confirmed their impression of me!

Tomorrow shit gets real:

Going to my big deal interview in DC, where I will be having complete crisis-breakdowns before and after, but hopefully not during.
Afterward, I’m making Riley take me to museums and things so I can distract myself from my pit of self-loathing

Cross your fingers/say some prayers/believe in me because I can’t in myself/think real hard about how this job is 4x what my mom makes a year but could go to some shitty Harvard grad and make sure I get it please.

“Suppose a man makes unwanted social advances to a woman in, let’s say, a restaurant or theatre, and she eventually has to tell him loudly or angrily to get lost. She is the one who will be perceived as rude, hostile, aggressive, and obnoxious. His verbal aggression and invasiveness are accepted and expected; her rudeness (or mere curtness) in getting rid of him is noticed and condemned. One of our great myths is that a “real lady” can and should handle any difficulty, defuse any assault, without ever raising her voice or losing her manners. Female rudeness or violence in resistance to male aggression has often been taken to prove that the woman was not a lady in the first place, and therefore deserved no respect from the aggressor or sympathy from others.”

He is trying to explain that not getting laid (incel means involuntary celibate) is a violation of his civil rights and a grossly overlooked injustice. He is completely serious. This is his blog.

what a fucking creepy fucker

Oh my fucking GOD. What an entitled little douche.

“BEING WITHOUT A RELATIONSHIP AND SEX AGAINST YOUR WILL FOR OVER 6 MONTHS” cry me a river

what is that civil rights analogy even

Dear guys who don’t understand why women are often cagey around you:

These men walk among you and are indistinguishable from you until it’s too late.

From his About Me: “I want to share the idea that governments have to help people get partners.”

Suddenly, in a totally unrelated coincident, I have a brilliant and terrifying idea for a new dystopian fiction setting.

OH MY GOD. I cannot with Nice Guys™ like this. FUCK.

I’ll try to contain my rage with a nice numbered list of why he is SO fucking wrong. Ahem.

Women are often single too, even when they don’t want to be. Nobody is entitled to a relationship with anyone. Period.

Comparing women to restaurants is disgusting and objectifying. Stop.

Comparing the civil rights movement to you not getting laid is also disgusting. Stop that too.

You may not like being single, but that is not, in any way shape or form, oppression.

You are probably single “against your will” because you view women as restaurants that have an obligation to service you.

If we really wanted to help people who felt depressed because they were single, a big step would be teaching them that they don’t need a relationship to be validated and happy, NOT trying to match people up with tax money (honestly, I read it twice, and I still don’t know exactly what it is that you’re proposing).

You clearly have a warped view of women, the civil rights movement, and oppression and you are awful. STAHP.

As was mentioned before, things like this are a big reason women have trouble trusting men. The predators, the Nice Guys™, the creeps, the guys who feel entitled to women, they’re all out there, masquerading as decent dudes.

Yeah, again. I remain I have justified reason to feel be cautious about most men I come across.

This is just fucking disgusting.

lol why did I even stop and read this

“From his About Me: “I want to share the idea that governments have to help people get partners.”

Because it’s really fucking funny and yet terrifying.
