Hey Karen, I have a surprise for you! I’m a feminist AND I have a manicure! Does that mean I get a raise?

Bah. The only way I can stomach this article is to redefine “sexy” to my meaning: I’m sexy right now, sitting in the recliner in pajama pants, a t-shirt, and a hoodie.

Wow…her grammar seems kind of weak. I would expect better writing in a professional publication.

OMG, I almost wish I hadn’t just read that, so I wouldn’t be experiencing the full body hate-on I have going on at the moment for this women.

I mean, she said so many offensive things, I wouldn’t even know where to start, but since most of you have already commented on one thing or another, I’d just like to add that I’m particularly offended by her whole “what’s not for a man to love” shtick. That kind of discourse defines gender roles in a way that implies that everything “women” do should be done with the intent to please “men” and is not only dismisses of the idea of personal agency, but also negates the idea of the existence of inter-personal dynamics and social relationships that exist outside of the heterosexual and cisgendered variety.

“Fuck you, Karen Salmansohn.” and may I add, why the hell are people like this PAID to write this crap?

On behalf of leggy, sexy muggers everywhere, I’m offended that she’s called my “career” a “low-level” one.

Getting a manicure is just like getting a raise!

LOL

Oh, Karen, you’re a fucking tool. Maybe instead of a manicure you got a lobotomy by mistake. Oops. You’re still sexy, though! And that’s all that matters.

Ohhhhh, orchidthief, I would be deeply satisfied were Ms. Salmansohn to read this and perhaps realize that when it comes to feminism, she’s mad as a snake. But, Karen? If you’re there? It’s okay. We can de-program you. You can even keep your manicure.

You yucky feminists just don’t appreciate good advice when you get it, do you? She’s just trying to HELP us, don’t you see? If we just worried more about our relative sexiness and less about being controlling and bitchy we’d be fully empowerfulled by now.

Do yourself a favor and get that leg hair out of your ears and listen, ladies! We’re all just a facial or two away from feminine Nirvana.

I have a question. What are the chances that the horrendous authors of such pieces as the article mentioned here will stumble upon your takedown, Dork? Because that would make me very happy. Like if they have their Google feed set up they will see it right?
