Why are you talking about her as if she's some kind of folk hero standing up to The Man, sending a message to all the desperate gun-wielding psychos out there..."We won't take it anymore! You can't have our phones! We refuse to live under your tyranny anymore!" when it's a complete fluke that she's still alive. If she…

I agree that mocking her is taking it too far, and that could be inferred from the "getting contacts back is totes annoying" comment (as if she would risk her life just for phone contacts). I still don't think it's beyond the pale to suggest that she made a foolish decision and could have walked away without a gun…

I'm not sure that all the cries of "victim blaming!" are on point here... this isn't quite like rape culture, where the perpetrators of rape are regularly protected, defended or even endorsed whereas the victim is shamed and silenced; thus allowing the violence against women to continue unchecked.

Does being that stupid come naturally to you, or do you have to practice lots?

If an animal...say a tiger or bear, showed up on your front door, you'd shoot it because you'd believe you couldn't reason with it and you'd view it as a threat. This is how SOME white people view anyone who isn't white as well.

That's super shitty that people don't tip because they know you make minimum wage. I realize that servers make the same as retail workers, etc. but I tip them because they are waiting on me, sometimes for hours on end... whereas the person that grabbed me a shoe size or made me a sandwich didn't invest a lot of time,…

her smile at the end!!

I've been saying these exact things ever since I was about 13. The world is fuuuuucked on pretty much every level. I fear for this generation's children, let alone their grandchildren. And I've experienced the same thing in regards to wanting children... the older I get, the less I want them. I had baby fever waaay…

The flower girl at my cousin's wedding a couple weeks ago was being very stingy with her rose petals. She had a large basket full of them to scatter, but she would gingerly pick out one or two petals at a time and toss them on the aisle... there was probably about 6 petals on the ground by the time she finished.…

Wow, thanks for sharing your story. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to matter how many women speak up with stories just like yours... if it doesn't directly affect the old white guys in office, it doesn't matter. :( Glad to hear that you were in the right place at the right time and got the services you deserve.

It's amazing to me how many times I've had to explain this to anti-choicers: NOBODY IS PRO ABORTION. No one LIKES abortion and wants to see an increase of abortions. We simply believe that each woman should be able to make her own decisions about what's best for her life and health, and sometimes that means abortion.…

Wait... cat's have barbed penises?? BRB...

Hahaha! All the stars for you!

Well, duh! What was she (she? It? Are fat women people?) thinking? She forgot the cardinal rule of posting on social media: Think Of The Boners. Boners don't like fat chicks so they gotta go, stat.

I don't think conservatives are too keen on having women in the workplace at all, frankly. They yearn for them good ol' days when each man had his own house elf wife to keep a tidy house, cook homemade meals and raise those pesky kids that kept popping up every couple of years. That's the only logical conclusion I can…

The kid is responsible for his actions, definitely. His classmates are no less culpable for their actions as well. I am not advocating that they face any formal punishment or charges (except maybe the one who filmed and distributed the video), but I do sincerely hope that they feel terrible about this for a long, long…

Ugh, you're so right. This is what we mean when we talk about structural, institutional misogyny and sexism.

Yeah, I predict having to make some tough cuts for sure... probably in the plus one department. Fortunately a lot of my friends are getting married/ already married so they understand how it is when it comes to guest lists!

How can people be so cruel?? Jesus fucking Christ... those asshole kids deserve every ounce of horror and guilt they may feel as a result of their classmate killing himself because of them. I hope it haunts them till their dying day. There is no possible excuse for that kind of harassment.

Ooh... you do make a good point!
