“I swear girl maintenance costs more than what you paid for the trip!”
“Our gut warns us every time our emotions are in danger and what do we do? Turn the other cheek. You ignored that uncomfortable lump in your throat because he was still coming home to you. You chose to look past the fact that his typical routine changed. You watched him change right before your eyes. You knew. You sensed it, but you chose to trust him more than yourself. He was comfortable to your head, your heart, your pu—fuck him. You see friend, a woman’s intuition never lies. If we listened to that little voice in our heads instead of our heart, then maybe we wouldn’t kiss so many frogs.”

“But qualified women aren’t likable; likable women aren’t qualified. The only way to get the job is to be ten times better than the best man and likable, which means willing to absorb any amount of misogyny in any form from anyone with a smile on your face, forever. You must be attractive but not too attractive; men don’t want to look at an unattractive woman all day long, but they won’t feel comfortable working with a woman much more attractive than their own wives.”

“I know there are men out there who still want love and appreciate a good woman. I know there are men who aren’t threatened by their partner’s success. It’s just harder to find them. Just gotta dig through the muck of men fighting to hold on to a relationship type that no longer has a place in our world.”

“Stop thinking of the worst case scenario, especially if you ain’t got no evidence supporting any of that shit.”
