Why I Thought Feminism Wasn’t For Me…

The old movement made me feel I wasn’t worthy. — I was aimlessly scrolling earlier and came upon a group of women completely up in arms about the attached text from an old home economics book. I’m old enough to have actually taken home ec, although I opted for shop instead. We built little wooden CO2 cars. It was fun…

Stop Using Your Friends As Your Excuse…

When your abusive boyfriend shows up looking for you, this is how it goes down. — Y’all know I have been over and over Safety for the Single Lady.

As Another VD Creeps Up On Us…

Well, well, well…if it isn’t the day of love upon us…Hold on, give me just a second, I’m feeling a little nauseated. Look, I would love to sit here and tell all of you I’m thrilled about another Valentine’s Day in Ms. Macons’ stilettos, but I would be bald-faced lying…

Safety and the Single Woman in 2022

Long before I started writing to you fine folks here on Medium, I wrote a series of articles for single women and their safety. This was largely due to all of dumb ass things I was seeing the single women around me perpetrate. From going on dates with men from…

Maybe I Should Consider Writing About Sex…

Yeah, there’s no fucking way I’m doing that. — I see a lot of ladies writing sex columns these days, and for a hot second, I thought about it. Don’t worry, I remembered exactly why I don’t write about sex in about 2 seconds. The shit they write about, though, what the fuck? I really don’t think I could…

There’s No Move You Can Make For Them…

No matter what you do, you can’t make an abuser change. — I get so many of the same type of questions; if I change this about myself, will he treat me better? If he isn’t angered by our child, his job, spending money, my in-laws, will he stop hitting me? I sometimes have to pause and remember what it was like…

I’m Completely Unbothered By TradWives…

Let’s reconvene in five years and discuss this movement. — Being the angry and unapologetic Bitchface I am, everyone expected me to be foaming at the mouth about the TradWife “movement” being hashtagged like the symbol is going to fall off of the phone. I’m not. Don’t mistake my lack of concern for lackadaisical behavior, though. I think it’s absolutely…

Things I’ve Learned Since My Daughter Died

Terrible Lessons Taught By Terrible Things And Worse People — Today, Taylor has been gone for 21 years. It doesn’t seem that long ago sometimes, at other times, it feels like I was in another lifetime then. I certainly wasn’t this woman. I belonged to a different existence then. In that life, I was a mother. I was a wife…

Oh, Weaponized Incompetence…

They can do it, they just don’t. Or it’s done incorrectly on purpose. — Few things piss me off like weaponized incompetence. You hand me a guy who pretends he doesn’t know how to properly load a dishwasher; I assure you I’m going to lose my shit. Quickly. We all know them, though. The guy who won’t even lift his feet as his wife…
