Are you fucking joking? There is literally a recording of the call where the operator tells him NOT TO FUCKING FOLLOW MARTIN.

(And before anyone decides I should be lectured on white women being awesome and not prejudiced as a whole - no kidding. I am a white woman.)

Overly broad generalizations aside (which I'm sure you recognize, but I can't say I blame you in this very moment even as a white woman), your statement that "Minorities & women are seen as being complicit in their own injuries in ways that white men aren't" makes me want to cry. It's incredibly poignant, moving,…

What a shock. A bunch of white women in Florida think it's okay to shoot a black teen male to death. I mean, we are talking about the place that didn't want to bring him to trial to begin with.

I presume you mean to say that you have a snake? A moccasin snake? Because I can't imagine anyone doing much damage with a slipper (as comfy as those things are). You might do better to use its venom, in future. The snake's, not the slipper's.

Sounds about right. My company has been using Google Apps for years, and I have yet to get a single employee to understand the difference between their web browsers and their operating systems.

He could develop some fucking self-control. Oh, right, that's too much to ask from a man. Seriously, acting like men are just runaway penises with no responsibility for their actions is insulting to me, as a man. I work and have worked with tons of extremely attractive women, and I've never had these kinds of issues.

I'm just going to put in one final word. Saying thanks and appreciating someone's efforts, even if it's something you don't like/want/agree with, is not "lying". It's being polite.

I was leaning towards masochist, myself.

Hey buddy, you asked for an explanation and so I gave it. Simple as that. Had you responded to anything I said before this, I would have felt you actually cared enough to listen to my advice and then an invite would have been extended. But as it is, this is the only time you have responded, I have never ever said…

I concur, you're totally invited to brunch if you're ever in the Mpls area!

... And I still don't get how people were trying to be helpful. If someone has the patience, I do actually need this explained to me. (Or people can ignore me. I really don't mind if nobody responds.)

The GIFs Jezzies put up are sometimes more entertaining than the actual article.

Yes, but they let you speak. It indicates that they thought you had something of value to add.

Dude. Hobbies are for you, not for comparing to others. If I sat around and compared my skills as an aerialist next to a member of Cirque, I'd feel like shit all the time and probably quit. Instead, I just remember that this is something I do for me that makes me happy and that there are tons of other people that…

Dude, you got around 50 people expressing empathy/sympathy, several just answering your question, a couple saying that they've seen your photos and you're totally cute and because one person calls you a pity-party troll it's been confirmed that 'the world isn't kind...and expressing [your] opinions and thoughts is…

You know what makes the sewing comment not obnoxious? Because it involves you talking about yourself in a way that doesn't sound awful or self-defeating. It addresses a problem I've heard many other women talk about. You aren't being mean about yourself. Saying you have a weird body speaks to it as different but not…

I have been told by numerous guys that by the time I'm 30, that's it, I no longer have any dating value, and if I want to get married, I will need to just "take what I can get

Yes, it really is that awful.
