Love this. Feel this way exactly but you are one thousand times more eloquent than I. Perfectly said.

If ever meet that fucking author of The Secret I'm going to choke her out, I swear. That vision board garbage has done more damage then she'll ever know. (Check out Sophia Coppela's The Bling Ring. The only visible adult homeschools her teens using vision boards and encouraging them to focus on their destiny.)

they know. they just don't care.

My friend was getting weird bulge shots from a creepy dude. So we texted him a picture of my cat's butthole with the subject line "my pussy."

I'm transgendered (male-to-female) and to be honest I'm a little embarrassed at this whole thing. I understand that people have different ideas of how to define what gender someone is and that in fact its different from my own definition. I've talked to many people that say they will always define someone's gender by…

Gender is sexism.

I thought maybe Ray didn't want Shosh to find out.

I have to give Jared Padalecki at least some credit, though. It doesn't seem he has the same double standard most of society does. After all, when a poor black person on the South Side of Chicago overdoses on heroin, they had it coming and are called much worse than stupid. But when it's a white Academy Award winning…

God damn god damn god damn god DAMN that was a great game!

I was sexually abused as a child by my parent, and my experience was chillingly similar to what Dylan describes. So much so that reading her account makes my chest seize up and my stomach drop. It rings true. Understand that perpetrators of abuse like this aren't stupid. They're usually extremely likable and beloved…

I think that's what Camus meant, too. Sometimes we act a certain way to show to other people that we're normal, not to show how we actually feel.

Yeah, this is why I carry a Swiss knife around in my purse. People think I'm crazy, but accidents like these happen all too frequently. I started carrying it after I saw a child's hoodie drawstring catch on the top part of a slide, choking him, and his mom almost couldn't reach him in time.

Wouldn't it be nice, then, not to mention Madonna's age as part of the criticism? She deserves criticism for what she is doing, not how old she is.

You're aware all these are photos of men, yes? Can we all think about why this might be problematic? Let's do it together!

Hanna Horvath is not Lena Dunham. Also Girls has other wirtters: Judd Appatow, Bruce Kaplan and Bruce Sterling, it is funny how I haven't read many articles even mention their names when talking about how terrible the show is, even funnier is that we keep interpreting every phrase uttered by any chacarter in their…

I'm not following — you think gay men have it "worse" than women, so it's ok that gay men are misogynists? We need to be more sympathetic to the people who dismiss us as fellow human beings and berate our bodies in particularly intimate and hateful ways?

I read this entire article and will be reading it again, and sharing it widely. Thanks for putting a voice to this phenomenon. It is by far the best and most thorough discussion of this subject I've ever read.

As a woman I am used to any critique of male privilege being immediately responded to with defensiveness,…

I'm sure they can, but its not really my job to stick around during that process just to prove some point. I'm not interested in enduring other people's shitty behavior on the outside chance that in 10 years they'll mature and stop going "uchhh!" when they look at me dancing with a (gay male) friend (who asked me to…

I also take umbrage at the claim that the rape "broke" her. It probably changed who she was going to be but it doesn't make her broken.
