  • Woman: I'm smart
  • Patriarchy: Well you're probably ugly then
  • Woman: I'm creative
  • Patriarchy: You mean unattractive right?
  • Woman: I have all these incredible accomplishments
  • Patriarchy: Yeah but look how ugly you looked doing them
  • Woman: I have value
  • Patriarchy: Not if you're ugly lol
  • Woman: I'm conventionally-attractive & posted self-photos on my blog
  • Patriarchy: I'm so sick of these empty-headed chicks only caring about their looks. Just because you are attractive and get attention from men doesn't mean you are special or deserve respect. Why don't you read a book or do something productive with your life you dumb slut

Inmates Now Reviewing Prisons on Yelp

The staff at Sing Sing are the “most unprofessional staff in the world and the rudest.” The chocolate milk at the Tombs is “chalky.” At Rikers, “If the roaches & rats don’t mess with you the CO’s [correctional officers] will.” Queens Central Booking is “run smoother than the other central bookings throughout the greater New York.”
