I just wanted to share this; I have shared it before here on Jez. I was peeped in while going to the bathroom while I was an office temp at the University of Pittsburgh.

If any men want to experience a taste of this, make an online dating profile, fill it with some generic stuff, and make your profile pic a young woman. Then, as the messages come flooding in, politely decline and wish them luck. When I did this once several years ago, I was constantly badgered and this quickly turned

This is one of those moments where the internet is every bit as magical as it's supposed to be—it's been incredible to see the groundswell behind #YesAllWomen and I hope it never stops. I just got back from a dinner with a friend where I disclosed the latest awful, surprise "bad touch" experience with an entitled

*thank YOU so much !!!

Your post isn't harmful at all, the trolls hardly need any encouragement. I think your dread about them is shared by a lot of people and it's worth talking about.

Also: "Narcissist complex" is not a thing.

I'm a pretty "nice guy" and I have sex all the time. So there's one demerit, in the form of an anecdote.

"But some women are making it out that mysoginy and men feeling entitled to women is what is causing this rash of lethal violence against women."

"Mental illness" is an excuse used when privileged White males commit crimes against less privileged people.

I'm sorry. Harm was not my intention. I'm still stinging after seeing a post like I detailed just last night, and the sheer amount of passive-aggressiveness present, and knowing there was no way to break through that.

I've never written about this before, but a man asked me for directions downtown one night while I was walking alone, and I gave them. I pointed him in the direction he wanted to go and kept walking. He grabbed me, tried to kiss me and proceeded to drag me into an alleyway. I fought him, and got away just as he

I just keep thinking: will they believe us now? Is this finally the moment when men start to grasp the reality that women live in?

When can we expect the post from the "nice guy," who — of course — doesn't think women deserve to be assaulted, but they really need to learn to give "nice guys" a chance instead of spreading their legs for jerks. Because if they opened up for "nice guys," then "nice guys" would be less frustrated, and women would be

The whole thing is heartbreaking and any man who can't acknowledge the subliminal fear women have to deal with in nearly every interaction with the opposite sex is in denial of the grim reality of our culture.

At the end of my senior year in high school, I broke off a long-distance relationship only to receive a terrifying letter filled with declarations of love and threats of violence. I thought I had dodged a bullet when nothing happened by the time I went off to college, only to learn that he raped a girl shortly after I

He should have made good on his bargain to climb Everest 10 times. Maybe that would have given him some perspective.

Iranian woman, Swedish woman, American woman, Indian woman, Canadian woman, Chinese woman, ANY woman are not symbols of anything... They are human beings. Full stop. Thanks.

I could point you to any number of discussions on articles posted to this very site; righteous indignation and a sense of victimhood amongst the privileged who assume that having to share—or *GASP* reduce their own unearned privilege in the instance of fairness—means they're being targeted create a relatively

I don't understand why that one guy would have been tweeting about June Squibb in the first place.

"Surprisingly, the thirty recruiters tracked over the ten-week study spent nearly a fifth of their time (19%) on a LinkedIn profile looking at the profile photo."
