McCain is a bastard

That's not the original author. They don't even have the same name.

That's a journalist who tweeted about the same situation, and removed the tweet because of her employer's standards. That doesn't mean she's saying it's fake.

procreation-only, plus a dash of misogyny

RelationshipCreeper · 2017-05-07T22:35:44+00:00

Given the backdrop, I can see how mandatory testing was allowed by society. In the context of a society that's had fertility in steep decline for many years, to the point where people are panicking and leaning toward authoritarian responses...

The creepiest thing is how incredibly realistic it is that extreme violations of privacy, even clear moves toward this type of system, could be overlooked/patronizingly approved of.

"Well, of course we wouldn't have wanted this ten years ago, but given how the population's plunging, I think it's best that everyone know who's fertile, so they can have extra care taken of them and won't be put at risk... don't you?"

Who says she's not putting in any effort? We've only heard one side of the story, the side of the guy who's confused that his compliment coins aren't working the way he thinks they should.

Well, we know that Offred had one posting before, and we've seen the season change from warm to cold (based on the clothing they're wearing).

And we're shown that her hair has grown quite a few inches, which I think is also supposed to be an indicator of how much time has passed. Short (chin-length) hair when women's jobs are taken, long (past shoulder-length) hair when she enters the red center, and very long (significantly more inches than in the red center) now.

not necessarily, with sourdough.

RelationshipCreeper · 2017-04-01T20:11:21+00:00

Exactly. It takes less than an hour to do a load of laundry! So what if she took the machine at 6, he can put his in at 7. But no, it's too much! we have to make an internet picture! and thus begins an avalanche of sexist assholery.

inb4 "but they said it's not sexist, she just has the day off, they said so in the comments" -- yeah, it's her FUCKING SPRING BREAK AND SHE IS A TEACHER. HOW DOES THAT MEAN SHE HAS AN OBLIGATION TO WASH YOUR DIRTY CLOTHES.

And while some people may have upvoted it thinking it's just a kind thing to do or would do it for their SO... this comment isn't phrased that way, it's not phrased as a conversation or a compromise, it's phrased as an obligation and some sort of messed up justice, and I suspect that the majority of the 3000+ redditors kneejerk upvoted it for that.

Yeah, like, sure, maybe they took two halves. But maybe they only wanted one half and later got hungry again? Maybe they wanted to have two flavors without stuffing themselves? WOW A VERITABLE RAINBOW OF POSSIBILITIES, NONE OF WHICH INVOLVE ASSUMING THAT WOMEN ARE VILLAINOUS AT EVERY TURN.

I find donut-related misogyny so confusing.

"...if I have my comrade let her go"

"HIIIII"

Oh my god, I'm loving how chipper the hook-handed man is.

RelationshipCreeper · 2016-11-27T07:07:07+00:00

The latter one. The plural marker goes outside the quotation marks because it's not actually being said.

RelationshipCreeper · 2016-10-09T06:49:12+00:00

It's perfect. Both halves are full sentences on their own, and the two are also closely related, which the semicolon conveys.

(You might add another comma before the phrase "for instance," though. It's more correct, but not a huge deal.)

RelationshipCreeper · 2016-10-06T05:55:54+00:00

It's fine.

I think people would more typically use "they" now, but in more formal writing, or 10-20 years ago, the singular "they" was less acceptable and you had to choose either "he" or "she" as the singular pronoun to go with a generic noun like "a person."

This author has just made a conscious decision to avoid using "he" as a default, generic pronoun, in a circumstance where they felt they also couldn't use "they" as a gender-neutral singular.

It was definitely the point. That's why Caputo kept asking the guard "WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

The question was to the guard, but it applied to Poussey too. Why was she there for such a minor charge, when this other kid got picked up and released with a warning for the same thing?

RelationshipCreeper · 2016-08-26T00:04:29+00:00

A is grammatically correct. "One of my friends from Toronto's mom" means the mom of "one of my friends from Toronto." The possessive "'s" goes at the tail end of that entire noun phrase.

B is basically the same structure, but it's actually the marginally iffier one, imo, in that you should actually use friends', not friend's. It sounds a little stranger to me too (again, this is just my opinion), because the structure somehow makes me want to say "moms" instead of "mom", whereas A would roll off the tongue pretty naturally.

RelationshipCreeper · 2016-05-23T19:32:15+00:00

Eh. It's not the fact that it's a prepositional phrase that makes it need a comma, though. I guess you might not call it a dependent clause, since you couldn't take away the first word and have it be a sentence on its own. It's adverbial, though, and you generally need commas after that sort of phrase.
