I have to laugh when women are called the hysterical sex. Good grief....

Now and forever, IT'S ALWAYS PROJECTION!

Especially when visualizing Kavanaugh during his Senate confirmation hearings.... Or when Jeff Sessions loses it during a Senate hearing; I don't recall which one but his ugly twisted face as he attempted to shout down a witness is, sadly, unforgettable.

I have to say that Kavenaugh’s emotional outbursts would have doomed a woman. They should have doomed him. I was disgusted. I am disgusted.

That’s why the procedure “hysterectomy” is favored by some for getting rid of the “lady parts” that apparently cause the hysteria.

I heard one so called incel expert lament if “the uterus is not carrying a child, it’s getting a woman in trouble.” Apparently like voting for democracy instead of misogyny.

Imbeciles.

I was sipping ice water, so I too appreciate the warning. This was hilarious.

I'm a widow with five cats, but I assure these poor misguided incels (or imbeciles) that I'm not wandering around aimlessly, lost and on antidepressants. Where on earth do they come up with such baloney? Their misogyny is so blatant, they should just get a tattoo on their forehead: "I hate females."

You surely have that right, Ms. Massey! Good grief, the amount of time these silly members of the male species spend wringing their hands, trying to avoid looking at the obvious. Couldn't all that time be much better spent educating themselves about the psychological advantages happily single women enjoy?

Nah, I guess they are happier in their (to borrow Mr. Charles Sykes very enjoyable, inimitable phrasing) "...self-created bubbles of reinforcement that lets them lead lives of self-fondling solipsism...".

Sykes really nailed that one.

Emphatically YES, he did. I LOVED that phrase and the whole article so much that I wrote down the whole thing just to reread for my own enjoyment.

Mr. Sykes might have offered a bit more courtesy--as you did--and warned his readers ahead of time about the dangers of non-swallowed liquids prior to reading the piece. I had to take my keyboard apart and wipe it down. That "cuppa tea" went everywhere.

Watching the R's try to make sense out of the midterms and blame everyone but themselves for the results is akin to watching hooked fish in the bottom of the boat.

Apparently as a woman, in spite of my college degree, I am gripped by depression, aimlessness, and a vengeful desire to make men, especially white Republican men with Dunning-Kruger Syndrome, miserable. Ruining their lives is my whole life, really, other than communing with my 27 cats...

* Sufferers of Dunning-Kruger Syndrome do not have sufficient knowledge or intelligence to discern that they do not have sufficient knowledge or intelligence. Here's the great John Cleese of Monty Python to explain:

Love it! John Cleese is the greatest. And that sure does describe - sadly - far too many Repubs at the present time.

I guess all I can do now is grab a bottle of booze and call my cat over to the sofa whilst I sob about my miserable, childless life. 😈

Thanks for the warning to protect my computer before reading, because I was sputtering and laughing as I read this. You likely saved my life from choking on my tea while reading your essay today!!!! I have seen more gracious behavior from school children than these sore losers having to admit defeat.

WTF ? Stepford Wives and the Handmaiden’s Tale. If these Repiglicans read literature, they’d understand how idiotic they look.

All these idiots are straight from the manosphere playbook. Complete clown show.

I fear this has been the point at which the fantasies of the right-wing media bubble have collided with the mountain of objective reality and evidence, poor dears..... No doubt some of them are gobsmacked that the voters could not see the obvious superiority of the Republican positions. To those who helped bring about this sad situation, I say, "Well done....."

“Donald Trump has proven himself to be dishonest, disloyal, incompetent, crude, and a lot of other things”...but weren’t these attributes proven at the first impeachment? And then tripled at the second? It has nothing to do with his “attributes” which they all share and everything to do with he LOST. But how rich that they would again attack women...poor, dumb, weak, women 🤮 who need the guidance of some man 🤮🤮... I know there must be a human Republican somewhere ( yes, Liz and Adam) but they’re the minority. I find most of them as monstrous as trump.

Thank You again, TC! I learned some time ago to put down my cup before reading your missives.

If you're a sane, single woman, regardless of age in Arkansas and

take a good look around at all the

chaw chewing and snuff spitting,

butt cracks and beer gutts hanging

out of jeans, your pickings are slim.

That's just the other women.😄😄😄

Only kidding. The men, well you have to really search, as my single

granddaughters can attest to, for

an intelligent, decent guy you may

maynot have to run a background

check on. 😉

I work with a skinny good ol' boy from Arkansas that wears a cowboy hat and a big belt buckle wherever he goes, and is the nicest man you could possibly meet. His best friend in the Navy was black, and he said that his buddy used to take him to social hangouts where he wasn't very comfortable, but it always interesting and educational. When he gets home from a hard day at work, he fires up the XBox to play video games with his adult daughter, and that's just the best thing in the world to him. One of our clients once asked me if I could give him her number within 30min of meeting the guy. She was too weak in the knees to do it herself.

He's an empathetic, compassionate, sweetheart of a guy, which is why he chose to stay here in California. ;)

The Republican party has been dead a while now. Just because the blood is still spurting out doesn't mean the political body can't do some serious damage before it is interred as a period of lunacy in American history (and there are many such periods).

Well. I'd probably have had something to say about this subject, but it looks like I've already said it.
