“During the Middle Ages,” a poem. You should read the whole thing.

It would be a very hard time
When the sun revolves around the earth
And kings are just unbelievably selfish
And it’ll be a really long time before Pop Art
And meerkat videos and cotton candy
And Kurosawa and fish tacos and girl bands

Hat tip to the TueNighters Facebook group.

The whole invisibility thing is still upsetting to me, no matter how many older women claim that it’s empowering. Emily Flake isn’t there yet either in her rebuttal to the gross French guy story.

Unfuckable is one thing, invisible is quite another. The idea that you just look through a person if you don’t want to put your dick in them—again, not a shocker, but a fucking gut punch as a human being no matter how many times it’s been drilled into your head that your worth is determined by your sexual desirability.

It’s not surprising to me that Janeane Garofalo is defending Louis C.K., similar to sentiments voiced by Sarah Silverman earlier.

Also, Garofalo and Silverman are friends with Louis C.K. and relationships are more nuanced than all-in or ostracizing, despite the current vogue for black-and-white thinking.

I’m definitely not excusing Louis C.K. or any other sexual harassers, but this is just one of many subjects where I’m starting to see a stark generational divide. Gen X were socialized to just suck it up or be tough or gloss over any abusive behavior while younger women aren’t putting up with badly behaved men anymore. It’s hard to change your worldview when you’re so years’ deep into it.

Frankly, I’m jealous of the young women coming up who’ve always thought their voices matter.

The only interesting thing about the Jeff Bezos divorce is that the woman he’s cheating with is not only age appropriate (49) but one year older than his wife. Looking good, Lauren Sanchez Whitesell.

You don’t say?

They say ‘life begins at 40.’ Unfortunately for women, this is also the age where a top academic says age discrimination in the workplace starts to occur.
