It’s Father’s Day: Do You Know Where Your Dad Is?

An Open Letter to Men Who Send Dick Shots to Women

Dear Men Who Send Dick Shots to Women, Women do not want to see your dick. They aren’t interested in your abs, and they don’t care how much weight you lost. Men get dumped for partying too much or cheating or being devoid of ambition. “He was too fat” or “His chest was too hairy” has ...

Three Cups of Bullshit
