Ooo, I'd be super interested in reading that if you find it!

About a week after I heard about that (the only using male animals as test subjects thing) I got my period. During my period, my anti-depressant/anxiety medication pretty much just stopped working. I'd been on it the medicine for a while, but because of my weight I rarely get periods so to my knowledge I'd never had…

I've had a friend who lived in both Chicago and New York, and while she did have some problems in New York she much preferred the culture there. People wouldn't put up with it as much, strangers would defend you/stand next to you, etc. In other places like lovely Chicago this doesn't tend to happen and I think it…

I've been street harassed twice in my life—once when by a college by frat bros and the other time followed in a bad neighborhood in Chicago late at night. The second time was the worst because I was alone, it was the "Oh shit, this is the moment everyone warned me about." There is no clear cut guide to where it…

Not blaming you! Erin just would never reply to me :( ERIN I LOVE YOUR WORK TALK TO ME!

Not to completely derail the conversation (cue me derailing it) but why are we saying Marion County instead of Indianapolis? They're the same thing. Also, it's kind of confusing, because there is a Marion, Indiana.

You're doing God's work.

Indianapolis is not like the rest of Indiana. It actually has black people. Haters.

Uh, I lived in Indianapolis for the majority of my life and don't know what this is supposed to mean. It's pretty solidly Democratic. Maybe you're thinking of ole white flight Andersonville and Carmel? (I will never miss an opportunity to trash those towns.)

That would honestly be less offensive to me.

Urgh... I hate to do this but you awakened my history nerd. Cleopatra was of Greek ancestry and so that casting alone was fine. Allow me to replace it with another ridiculous movie poster, with your comment remaining the same:

This really isn't a thing in Turkey, but theoretically this could happen anywhere. You always get a few bad guys empowered by the fucked up patriarchy.

Thank you. I find parts of this piece problematic, and other parts resonate with me very deeply. Overall, I like it and find it extremely important that we talk about existing as a woman. Basically, if you're going to criticize a work, be fair.

Oh God... What have I done?

EXACTLY. My friend has migraines so severe she sometimes takes multiple Vicodin. She tries not to take it, and it's not like she has the very severe ones everyday. URGH.

You deserve all the stars. I echo this heartily!

Me too, kind of. I have my cats. Bonus points: they can eat me for many days after I die!

I would also be ok with them being devoted to what Jesus actually said.

I'm with you on this one. It also makes my boobs itch. Lace on top of a normal fabric is perfectly acceptable and adorable, however.

Thank you! I hate the cow metaphor for many reasons, but #1 I want to say is, "I'm not a cow." Why would I want to marry someone who only wants me for my vagina? A lot of women have vaginas.
