Looking Back On The Election and Forward to the Future

Recently, I posted a rather angry myTake on Donald Trump's victory, and a message to those who support him. I called them a disappointment to everything this country supposedly stands for. I'm sorry. I was in an extremely bad mood. I watched as a man, who, throughout his campaign, seemed to...

I've seen many questions recently from guys asking, "My girlfriend/female friend/female I met in the bar hit me, so I hit her back. She started screaming at me that I was a disgusting piece of scum. Was I in the wrong?" to which the answer is very simply "no." She hit you first, so you hit her...

1 Year On Gag - A Trip Down Memory Lane

The other day, when I logged in, I was checking my inbox and noticed I had a message from GaG, the contents of which surprised me. Not because it wasn't another message asking me to stop being an asshole to stupid people (sorry, not sorry) though that was nice, it was because it said this: "Hi...

Stick the F*ck Around: A Plea to Those with Bad Parents

I once heard a story that went a little like this: A violent, alcoholic, abusive man has two sons. One son becomes just like his father, drinking all night, beating his girlfriend, and landing himself in jail for drugs and beating a man half to death. The other son is the complete opposite of...

One Bad Apple Ruins The Bunch

I've seen many, many takes and opinions written about both genders, from the perspective of the other gender, usually pretty damn negative. This is different. As I'm sure many of you gals that grew up with an abusive father learned to distrust the male gender because of your father, whether or...

Living Life With High Intelligence: Not All It's Cracked Up To Be

Here's a fact most people here don't know about me: I'm what most people refer to as "highly gifted." It's not something I always like to mention, but I thought I would write a myTake about it. When most people think of highly intelligent people, after you think of the scientists like Einstein...
