Good Drama Vs. Bad Drama — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 15 May 2013 16:00:16 +0000

The word “drama” gets a bad rap. Lots of single people will say that they “hate drama” and want to steer clear of it; I make every effort to steer clear of those people. While I’m certainly not a fan of unpleasant life events, there are some kinds of drama that are pretty great. I’ve [...]

How to Not Hate Your Birthday — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 08 May 2013 21:00:38 +0000

Even my dog Rabbit seems to have caught my “birthday blues” this week, and he doesn’t even have a birthday; he’s a rescue dog. After 21, birthdays kinda stopped being fun for me. There was a brief moment of excitement at 25, when I could rent a car. I’ve only done it once though, in [...]

What's Your Spring Anthem? — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Thu, 02 May 2013 20:00:25 +0000

As kids, a lot of times we identify socially by liking a certain genre of music. As a teen in the late 90s, I was a punk. Nowadays, I don't know what I am, and I like it a lot better that way. Even if I don't identify with music in the same way, though, it is still one of the most powerful forces in my life.

The Casual Sexual Relationship is Not a Myth, But You Might Be Doing it Wrong — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:00:48 +0000

Jackie Mancini is in a relationship with spring, and it is not complicated. This is a pretty weird time for me, guys. I’ve been back in New York for just about a year now, and with my 30th birthday under a month away, I’m finally starting to figure out what I want. I’ve got a job [...]

'You are a Total Vagina,' and Other Things That Aren't Insults — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:00:01 +0000

This is the second most embarrassing thing I have ever made in a coffee shop. To answer your question: mind your own business. So, a lot of people are really mad at NH Representative Peter Hansen for a mass-email he sent last week to lawmakers, where he used the word “vagina” as a synonym for “woman.” The [...]

Not Gay? Perfect, Read This Immediately — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 16:00:07 +0000

If Google analytics are correct, then you, dear reader, are a straight male, like Macklemore here. I dare you to read this anyway. (Editor’s Note: No one told me to say this, but the opinions below are mine, and don’t represent the website. Since no one told me to do this, I am also free [...]

I'm Not Scared of Anything Normal, I'm Only Scared of Mr. Bean — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 16:00:52 +0000

Most people are scared of normal things like dying, or being trampled by a pack of wild elephants. If you ask me, both of those things seem fine…and mostly inevitable, given my life trajectory thus far. My greatest fear? You’re looking at him. In my short time on this planet, I’ve done some irrationally brave [...]

What I Learned in My Week Without a Smartphone — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 18:00:51 +0000

There are times in my life (for instance, when in the presence of Andrew W.K.) where I am unspeakably grateful to have a tool in my pocket to document my increasingly-ridiculous life. A couple of weeks ago, I found myself phone-less in the Big Apple for almost an entire week. Things got really weird. My [...]

I Think Guy Fieri Might Be The Answer to World Peace — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 17:00:28 +0000

There's so much in the way of world peace that it can sometimes feel like we'll never get there. As humans, we all have opinions and desires that clash with those of others, and our fierce defense of those things often leads to un-bridgeable gaps that divide us, creating conflict. I think I have found one thing we can all agree on, though: Guy Fieri is a hilarious douche.

Please Don't Tell Me About the 'Crazy' Dream You Had Last Night — The Fairer Sex Files

Jackie Mancini — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 20:00:05 +0000

So I broke it off with someone I really liked a lot three days ago, and then immediately got the flu. I don’t want to talk about it, leave me alone. I mean, Happy Valentine’s Day! Let me tell you about the weird dream I had last night! Post-breakup dreams are the worst; it feels [...]
