Does it count if I was the author of my own suffering? My excuse is that I was in my early 20's and an idiot,* if that helps.

Personal take: Over the years I’ve been varying amounts of femme-presenting with various hair lengths, various styles of dress depending on what I’m doing that day, etc. If I look feminine, I get the “compliment” type of harassment. If I don’t, I get men telling me I’m offensively ugly. As far as I can tell, it’s two…

“I’m Goin’ Down.” Duh!
I’m the dude in the floral shirt and necklace with the superciliously amused expression.
I don’t know whether there’s anything morally wrong with it, but I usually don’t like listening to those songs myself, because before he was a predator, he was an exploited kid. Just bad vibes all around.
I’m kind of digging the DD-cup moobs though. Sometimes I look at the male form and I think, “You know, the only thing that would improve this is gigantic breasts.”
I still remember this conversation from 1995:

The tone of this article leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Jokes about Kardashians? Pissing contests? “We are all this sad lost polar bear?” (“We are all...” is usually reserved for innocuous and comical images.) Look, maybe you’re trying to find some black humour in a depressing situation, but I think you’ve missed…
I don’t like the word “milk.” “Milk” is sort of my “moist,” I guess. Hearing or seeing it once doesn’t register with me, but when it’s repeated a lot, I really notice the annoying nasal mmmmiiiiiillll- capped with a K (inarguably the most annoying of all consonants).
That’s called the crupper, I think. It’s basically just a strap that goes under the tail to keep the harness in place. God, I can’t believe how much I still know about horses from being a little girl who reeeeeeaaallly wanted a pony. I don’t know whether I should be proud or embarrassed.
The horse has had its tail docked (booooooo!), which is why it’s so short. The braid and scrunchie thing are mostly decoration.
But but there’s just as much violence coming from the left wing! I can’t name a single example right now, but a lot of people say so, including the president, so it must be true.
Yoko Ono is badass. I went to see her retrospective at MOMA in NYC a couple of years ago, and it blew me away. GOOP couldn’t be the next Yoko Ono if she tried.
Leonardo DiCaprio went through the exact same phase. He looked pretty rough for a while back in the early aughts.
TBH, I’ve always found the scruffy-natural-with-a few-zits look more appealing than the immaculately-styled-pop-idol look. I’m in my 30s, but it was just as true when I was a teenager. If he didn’t have the perpetual “too cool for this world - and YOU” smirk (i.e. in an alternate universe where he had an ounce of…
When I was around six, I was terrified of sprouty potatoes. My mom used to send me to the storage room under the basement stairs to get onions, or a can of something, or even [gasp] the actual potatoes. The mere thought of accidentally touching a pale, tentacley potato vine in the dim basement gave me the willies, and …
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.”
“She just wants attention” is a common refrain among misogynists - as if women are small children engaging in attention-seeking behaviour. Interestingly, they also seem to think that wanting attention is one of the worst things you can accuse a woman of.
