Great show…a couple of points
1. You say any generalization of women and your mentions light up with chicks saying I'm different yeah I'm different. Yeah, OK.
2. Any forum where men and women intersect there will be some heybooing. Professionals prefer to date professionals but personally I never could bring myself to hop in DMs let alone LinkedIn mail.
3. I like how Rich had the same reaction I had at the way WIM was able to flip that Salon piece, boys get more because they need more, sad but true
4. Doesn't Inez have a lottery ticket herself, the child of a lottery winner? She could just go Kelis on him. And I agree it seems like he was merely tolerating her til he didn't have to anymore

5. I rather have my work speak for itself, like the Steve Martin quote, "Be so good they can't ignore you". Popularity helps but when I think of that I think more of oblivious stans not actual fans of your work/art
6. I'm good with faces, names not so much. I'll say fam or sweetie until it comes to me if it never does then welp.
7. WIMs rant took a dark turn, its sad savages ruined it to the point that women feel like "give me ur number or else" and I'm just trying to know her better
My recent post Today’s Word is… THINKPIECE
I like how you use numeral bullet points for thoughts.lol.
I was most surprised by the dark turn. Given the latest discourse on twitter regarding assault, seems like it's very real out there. I still find myself wondering "who are these dudes?" It does make it difficult for the rest of us though.

"I like your work history, we should get up" LOL Ya'll wilding. But it's weird how people will turn any social networking site into a dating/hook up opportunity. Not that there's anything wrong with that. -Wim voice
The for-profit prison kickback story was also an episode of SVU…that's an extreme nature of zero-tolerance, but in general I take issue w/ criminalizing children, especially for nonviolent offenses
Lmao @ Wim's rant. Kinda surprised by the "for my safety" as a reason too. That probably goes back to the street harrassment. Correcting the though process behind it is futile because the guys who need to hear why it's wrong aren't reading blogs or participating in productive discourse. Guys like us aren't gonna strong-arm for the #; mainly because we don't have to. Another topic lol Trying to understand the behavior is hard since it might be a class difference.
My recent post Post Revisited: Are Perfectionists Ever Really Happy?
I need to look up that SVU episode. I don't think I've seen that one. I could be wrong and just forgot it though.lol
I'm also in agreement with you on the class difference. I had that thought, but I didn't know how to articulate it.

I remember that SVU episode

great podcast as usual. i saw brittney cooper on a huff post hangout posted on newsone. a big time man-hater.
My recent post [VIDEO] DR. BEN CARSON SPEAKS AT CPAC 2014
I had the same thougts when I saw the article posted by a friend. Like I get the struggle that the author was saying but at the same time, women do a better job of supporting each other.
1. Black Girls Rock
2. Black Girls Run
And many of the other conferences and event that exist for men. Also, with a recent report saying that Black girls attend college higher than other race/gender group, women are handling their business. So I agree that it does feel like her article is saying to cut one for the other, especially when we know that funding will be limited.
I know this man. He has a business in Los Angeles. He is engaged in selling tickets to various shows on special sites https://best-vegas.com/events-in-april/. Integration of new solutions helped to make a quality product
