1. What a lying

sack of shit for an apology.

They meant to invite debate? How? Usually when people want to invite debate there is a comment section. I wish they had one so when 4chan got their greasy fingers tapping over there, they would have gotten a big feaking dose of reality that women encounter online.
Invite debate over a frivolous poll that also includes words like bae, yaaaasss and turnt? Why yes. I would love to hear debate over why a social movement for decades is included on a poll that includes those frivolous words. But I am guessing that is not what you actually meant because you see, I understand nuance.

The nuance was lost? Hot giggety damn! Women are too damned stupid to understand nuance. Women understood the nuance, just fine. TIME could not have made it any clearer to them. with these phrases:

If you hear that word one more time, you will definitely cringe. You may exhale pointedly. And you might even seek out the nearest the pair of chopsticks and thrust them through your own eardrums like straws through plastic lids. What word is this? You tell us.


What did get lost is the dripping condensation about the word bossy.

bossy: You are leaning in all over the place. If Sheryl wants a word banned, then we best get banning.


This is on top of placing feminist in the poll.

If Nancy Gibbs believes that apology is worth something, I won't be reading any of her books.
