I've responded a few other places in the thread so forgive me if this is repetitive.
I was not alone. I had a few friends and an uncle that were entirely supportive. But I felt as if no one that could do anything would believe me, and unfortunately the burden of proof was on me. And believe me, what my parents had said…

I am furious right there with you girl. And here is why. I don't want to be afraid of men. I don't want to think that anytime I walk past a man and I am alone I need to be on the defensive. I don't want to cringe when I am out for a jog and a car pulls up on the side of the road to park and all I can think about…

"I'm furious that my parents ingrained in me from a very young age that I should never wear heels because I should always be ready to run at a moment's notice"

I had a similar conversation with my college roommate's boyfriend. He was angry about 'women only' gyms. I couldn't make him understand that for too many reasons to count, lots of women feel vulnerable being in front of men when wearing gym attire.

I don't know if it's that I'm still feeling so deeply saddened by the Isla Vista shootings of a few days ago, or Maya Angelou's passing, but by the end of this article I was in angry/exhausted tears. It feels hopeless sometimes, because no matter what you say, there are still people who don't believe any of this…

I'm also angry for the many girls and women for whom the risk isn't out on a late night walk, but right in their very homes. Something about the place that should be the safest actually holding the most danger is just so cruel, and so very damaging.

We know Americans don't apologize.

I AM FROM BRITISH CANADA AND DEMAND TO KNOW WHY MY CANDIES ARE NOT REPRESENTED.

PLEASE WRITE ME AN EXTENSIVE LETTER OF APOLOGY DETAILING THE REASONS FOR THIS LACK OF CONSIDERATION. I WOULD PREFER YOU DO IT ON YOUR OWN TIME, AS THIS IS CLEARLY A PERSONAL AFFRONT.

Well, the problem is if somebody is in the middle of an anxiety attack or a flashback, they're not firing on all cylinders. Also, the student has to be comfortable saying "This freaks me out because of this personal item in my history" and that's kind of asking a lot.

The real problem as I see it is that it's much easier for students to demand trigger warnings from professors than it is for them to demand that college administrations do more to address the issues of sexism, sexual assault, racism, and gender discrimination on campuses. As a college instructor, I too chafe at the…

I see a handful of people claiming that the photo in question is from a porn. I'm not going to do the research to find out if that is accurate. However, I doubt that the caption is from said porn. Additionally, even if this is a porn actress, this does not automatically indicate she (or anyone else) was "asking for…

Oh, well done.

Well, you know ... it's not like some men (NOT ALL MEN) haven't thought of women like that for some time (NOT ALL TIME), you know?

Men: The Ultimate Accessory

That is called obsessive compulsive disorder, and your ex needs help.

My cousin once had to borrow money from his mother for a train ticket home from uni for Christmas because he spent his money on what I believe was a jewelled sword on an online game.

World of Warcraft is partially responsible for the demise of my decade long relationship. It's fine if you want to devote some free time to a game. But when you're playing 18 hours a day (yes, a day) and spending money for things that can only be used in a virtual world - it causes problems.

I'm looking forward to the number of people who show up to make it known that there are no points in World of Warcraft.

I'm a former jazz/modern dancer (in my childhood and adolescence) and I imagine this is what it would look like if I put on some pointe shoes and gave it a whirl. She doesn't seem like a completely untrained dancer but definitely not a ballerina. From the few ballet classes I've taken I know my teacher would have…

I laughed when I saw those shoes. Those perfect pink clean shoes. HAHAHAHA.
