Ok amazing how mras will take one example and milk it dry and people will be "I see where you're coming from", but feminists will go through example after example and stat after stat and no one not even women will bat a single eyelash or will wait and be like "you're overexaggerating"
#think amber heard or any one incident caused by a woman or the statistic that women abuse children slightly more despite being primary#caretakers#I just saw one of those p*rn experiences lists where there were like 30 women describing the most depraved shit done to them and I am askin#how many more do you need

my favorite records of the 2010s pt 1 (the less great stuff/honorable mentions)
Neither this post or its followup are going to be in any particular order, however all the records I talk about here are, in my opinion, not as good as the records i will talk about in my part 2. they’re all fantastic but these ones slightly a little less fantastic than the ones in my “top 10″. none of this is based on stuff like 'influence' or whatever other critics base their lists on, this is solely how much I enjoyed these records. And keep in mind, I'm only human, I havent listened to a good lot of records I've heard others describe as top 10 worthy, these are just records I found and that I resonate with. long post ahead.
Vacation - Bomb the Music Industry (2011)
If you asked me what my favorite band is i will either say bomb the music industry or jeff rosenstock, but considering those are pretty much the same things it doesnt matter lol. While Vacation isnt a perfect record, it is one I love. It lacks some of the ska elements that I love about earlier BTMI records, but at the same time, it is the first record where Jeff’s “””solo””” career sound starts to form in tracks like Sick, Later, Hurricane Waves, Everybody That You Love, Everybody That Loves You, and Vocal Coach. And these tracks are all fantastic, especially the absolutely explosive opener Campaign For a Better Weekend. Where this album suffers in my mind is the fact that it exists as a weird hybrid middle ground between BTMI and modern Jeff Rosenstock, it isn’t really ska like old BTMI and it’s not quite to the same standard as the tracks on We Cool?. And some of the songs are just, not as good as the others, like Why, Oh Why, Oh Why (Oh Oh Oh Oh), which is washed out almost entirely in reverb, and tracks like Savers feeling barren and missing additional instrumentation. But fuck man I can not dislike this record or just call it “ok” because despite this I still listen to this record a lot, it’s so catchy and fun and Im a bit too chronically addicted to btmi.
Reflektor - Arcade Fire (2013)
i dont really get the hate/mixed feelings others have with this record. there’s so many good tracks dude!!!! sure theres a bit of a slump in the middle and it doesnt reach the same emotional heights as their previous records you gotta be ignorant to overlook this records strengths. while i do like The Suburbs more than Reflektor, man i just vibe HARD with some of these tracks; the title track, We Exist, Here Comes The Night Time, Normal Person, Awful Sound (Oh Eurydice), Porno, and ESPECIALLY Afterlife. Plus the cover art is cool and I like it. However Flashbulb Eyes is one of the worst tracks Arcade Fire has ever put out and I hate it immensely. And while far less offensive, tracks like You Already Know, It’s Never Over (Hey Orpheus), and Joan of Arc are just kinda boring and/or uninteresting. Now granted, I'm extremely biased when it comes to Arcade fire in general unless were talking about the trainwreck that is Everything Now. I started listening to Arcade Fire just before Reflektor came out, and I have a kinda sentimental attachment to the record. ill explain the feeling more when i talk about The Suburbs. anticipation oooooo.
good kid m.A.A.d city - Kendrick Lamar (2012)
i might get crucified by some for not putting this in my top 10, but whatever come at me i guess. gkmc is a fantastic record, but i do think the ending is weak, which is why it’s here instead of in the top 10. i mean, let’s be real, Real is a mediocre track, and while Dying of Thirst is an important track to the whole narrative of the record, it feels way too long. almost everything else about this record is fantastic, from the beats, to kendrick’s nasally flows, to the overall structure of the record spinning a tale of a young man battling demons both inside and out, and his eventual redemption. even if i find this record at times to drop pace, it really is flawless otherwise. it felt like a disservice to put this in the 20-10s, bc it’s a good record, but i had to make some compromises and this was one of them.
RTJ2 - Run The Jewels (2014)
el-p and killer mike are a perfect duo, and the tracks they make together are always total bangers. and for me, RTJ2 is the best overall, with RTJ3 in a close second. it’s hard to put this on the lower half of the list, some of the tracks just don’t work as well as the others, but despite that there’s not really any tracks i hate or dislike on this record, minus maybe crown. the pure aggression in the opening track Jeopardy sets the tone for an aggressive yet highly focused record. This is some of the best rap out there right now if you want some music to fuck shit up to.
Pure Comedy - Father John Misty (2017)
This record is both hilarious and extremely bleak. Josh Tillman is a master of satire and sarcasm, and Pure Comedy is the peak of his songwriting skills. The title track is one of the best tracks of the decade, period. And he keeps up the momentum on the following few tracks. The main problem with this record is its weaker second half, but even then it’s criminal to suggest that those songs aren’t good regardless. And despite the bleakness, the one line that sticks in my head after all this time is the line this album fades out to: There’s nothing to fear.
Knife Man - AJJ (2011)
Continuing on the trend of folky, satirical, and bleak records, Knife Man is AJJ’s defining record (next to their debut LP). AJJ blends loud, punky anthems with quieter, folk tracks that touch on sensitive issues in a way only AJJ manages to get away with. And there’s some genuine heart mixed in as well, with the final track Big Bird always striking a chord with me. However, I do feel the record is, let’s just say, padded at times in my opinion. Still, I can’t deny how much i enjoy tracks like Gift of the Magi 2, Hate Rain on Me, The Distance, and Skate Park. Speaking of which when I saw AJJ live recently they played none of those songs and that kinda sucked but hey it was like $20 I can’t complain. And speaking of not getting what I wanted...
You Won’t Get What You Want - Daughters (2018)
It was hard choosing between this record and their 2010 self titled record, but in terms of the overall narrative and variety this record shines through. If there was a number 11 spot in this unorganized list this would probably take that spot. It’s noisey, it’s abrasive, and it’s like nothing you’ve heard before unless you’ve listened to Daughter’s previous records. Tracks like The Reason They Hate Me are catchy in the weirdest and most unwelcoming of ways, Less Sex sounds like a long lost Trent Reznor NIN track, and Guest House is a masochistic and gut wrenching finisher. Fantastic record aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
We Cool? - Jeff Rosenstock (2015)
It’s obvious that I had to include this record somewhere on these list. It’s like a more refined version of the sounds that Jeff experimented with on Vacation. Definitely more punk than ska, but still some of those roots still shine through, especially in the track Nausea. Some of Jeff’s best songs are on this record, from the loud opening tracks Get Old Forever and You, In Weird Cities, to tracks dripping with bittersweet and moody lyrics like I’m Serious, I’m Sorry and Polar Bear or Africa. The main reason this record is on the back end of the top 20 is because the deeper cuts on the record do not match the energy and heights of the best tracks. Tracks like All Blissed Out, The Lows, Darkness Records and Beers Again Alone don’t feel like they belong and stick out a bit. They remind me more of the material Jeff put out on his 2012 EP I Look Like Shit. Mind you they aren’t bad tracks, but I’ll be honest I skip them often when listening to the record because i just wanna get back to the good good stuff.
Sports - Modern Baseball (2012)
Sports is one of the best pop punk records ever, if you can even consider it as such. It’s like a blend of emo and folk punk, and it works so well. A good majority of this record is on my main shuffle playlist. Is it pushing boundaries? Not really, but tracks like Re-Do, Tears Over Beers, and See Ya, Sucker are undeniably catchy and memorable. I NEED MODERN BASEBALL BACK TOGETHER RN. There’s not really anything that wrong with the record, besides maybe lacking in variety, but at 30 minutes, it’s a record that feels nostalgic even on a first listen, and continues to feel that way even after numerous re-listens. Speaking of nostalgia...
The Suburbs - Arcade Fire (2010)
Some background, when I was 13 (circa 2013), I only really listened to whatever my parents put on for me. From my mom, I “inherited” a taste for classic pop and 80s new wave. From my dad, I got metal and hard rock. The first time I made the conscious decision to listen to a record fully, based on my own curiousity, was when I sat and listened to Sgt. Pepper in the summer of 2013, which broadened the scope of what I thought music could even be. And later that year, the first band I got into after The Beatles? Arcade Fire. When I think of my early teens, the memories are set to this record. I remember listening to Ready to Start in my brother’s old hot ass car while driving to the local fair with some friends on a chill fall night, eating tons of junk and staying up past midnight back when doing that was edgy and cool and not a symptom of my depression.
If I was judging this record solely by its best tracks, it would easily be in the top 3. But I couldn’t place it in my top 10 because, frankly, some of the deeper cuts are lacking. I can’t say I like Deep Blue. I really don’t like Rococo. And Half Light I kills the pace of the record. But man, that title track, Ready to Start, Modern Man, Empty Room, Half Light II, Sprawl II... these songs defined my early teen years. I still tear up listening to the title track. Sure I have to skip a few songs when I re-listen, but I can’t place it any lower or my heart will break. It existing outside of the top 10 already hurts. And that’s all that’s left now. The top 10.

14.
1. Can you remember what you were doing at 8:15 this morning? Just laying in bed on my phone!
2. In your phone’s contacts, who is the first person listed under the letter ‘R’? When did you last see that person? One of my husband’s cousins, I last saw her on thanksgiving of 2012 so it’s been a hot minute.
3. If someone is sticking their nose into your business where it isn’t wanted, how would you deal with that? Would you say something to them? Absolutely I would. It would be a cold day in hell before someone stepped on my toes and I worried about making THEM uncomfortable by telling them to get off.
4. What did you have for lunch today? Or, if you haven’t had lunch yet, what do you think you will have? My dog and I shared some watermelon!
5. Is there someone you desperately want to see/speak to atm, but you can’t? Not really! My husband is about to be off work so that’s all I care about.
6. Do you and your significant other have a special song? What is it? Here In Your Arms by Hellogoodbye!
7. If you HAD to sing something on karaoke, what song would you choose? You could not PAY me to sing karaoke.
8. Can you remember the last time you felt ill? What was wrong with you? Last night for some reason!! We ate dinner and I was perfectly fine and then like 20 minutes later when I went to get up, I felt nauseous and then it just became super painful all across my tummy and up into my ribs. I still don’t really know why it happened because nothing we ate was expired and my husband didn’t feel gross and we ate the exact same thing. I was up until like 1, lying in bed trying to get comfortable and not puke. It was terrible.
9. What time is it now? Are you tired? 3:38 and nah, I’m good!
10. If you wear make-up, do you take it with you, to reapply throughout the day? Does your make-up stay for a long time after you first apply it, or do you find that you need to reapply often? Are you wearing any make-up atm? I keep my lipstick with me but I don’t have oily skin so I don’t typically need to reapply anything else. It stays on until I need to take it off! And nope, I'm baby faced rn.
11. What if you found the last person you kissed, in bed with the last person you texted? Omg, I found him in bed with himself??? How would I ever recover?
12. The last person you held hands with - have you ever kissed them? Every day for the last 9 years, bayBEEEE.
13. Can you remember what your parents bought you for Christmas last year? Schmoney!
14. Think about the person you fell hardest for. Why do you think your feelings for this person were so strong? How is he/she different compared to everyone else you’ve had feelings for? I can’t explain how perfect he is for me. Like he just fell into my life at the exact right time and is the perfect yin to my yang. We’re so so SO opposite in every way and it works so perfectly.
30. Have you ever caught your friend cheating on their boyfriend/girlfriend? If you have, what did you do about it? If you haven’t, what do you think you would do? I haven’t but if I ever do, I will absolutely tell their partner about it. I would do the same for them.
31. When your last relationship ended, how long was it before you felt ready to think about being with someone else? My husband was my first!
32. Has any of your friends ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend that you found attractive, and you would secretly have liked to have for yourself? Nah.
33. How many guys do you know named Matthew? Just my dad!
34. Think about the last person that made you cry. Would that person be there for you if you needed help? Probably I guess. Not in the way I need though.
35. Who was the last person you talked to before you went to sleep last night? Do you remember what you talked about? My husband, about how gross I felt!
36. Has someone of the opposite sex made you cry at any point during the last 24 hours? Nope!
37. Is there anything you would like to say to your most recent ex? Don’t really have one.
38. If your friends are sexually active but you aren’t, does that bother you? Have you ever felt pressured to have sex before you were ready, because your friends had done it? I’ve been married for 9 years, I am very, very sexually active! And I think I was one of the first of my friends to have sex? I went to a super christian school so all my friends were super virgins and I never felt pressured.
39. In your opinion, what is the difference between having a crush and being in love? Have your own experiences helped you to realise that there is a difference? A crush can be squashed with a bad haircut. Love is a terrible haircut and still finding them super attractive.
40. Did the last person you hugged have any of these letters in their name: T, R, K, P, J? Nope!
41. What’s the most unhealthy thing you’ve eaten in the last 24 hours? Ummm...I had a coke earlier!
42. What was the last compliment you received from someone of the opposite sex? Pretty sure my husband told me I was hot or something along those lines!
43. Who did you last say ‘I love you’ to? What colour are that person’s eyes? My husband! And they’re a dark teal around the edges and gold in the middle.
44. If you took away the first and third letters of your name, what would you then be called? :)
45. Name 7 things that make you happy, and explain how it might affect you if you had to give them up. Uuuuh no.
46. Think about your Facebook profile photo. What kind of assumptions do you think a stranger might make about you, from seeing that photograph? Would any of these assumptions be correct? Probably that we’re cute and happy and they’d be exactly right!
47. You buy a bar of chocolate, but you decide that you don’t want to eat it now, and put it in the fridge. When you go back later, half of it’s gone - someone else has started eating it! Who are you most likely to blame? Well it certainly wasn’t the dog.
48. Choose 5 friends, and talk briefly about each person’s longest/most serious relationship. Who was the relationship with, and how long did it last? No thank you, that’s too much effort.
49. Do you think it’s wrong for someone to commit themselves to a long-term relationship at a young age? Explain. Wrong? I got married at 19. I’m not the person to ask haha. But I’ve seen a handful of teenage relationships last a super long time but another handful end in really messy divorces. There are no absolutes in which relationships will and won’t last, its all about the people.
50. Is there something happening in the near future, that you’re looking forward to? Ummm! Found out today my husband gets Sunday off when I thought he’d have to work all weekend so that’s pretty exciting!
