I see what you’re saying and I guess I did not realize that on this site it is very specific/not generalized. Each Gawker media site is definitely different! On Lifehacker it seems even more specific.

I knew Matt. So fricking crazy. He was a nice kid. I went to high school with him. I can’t believe this a- on jezebel and b-happening.

Thank you for setting this “dude” straight. I love when I read hateful nasty rhetoric from women-haters/man-babies and then see intelligent, tough women just pants them intellectually. So really thank you.

This article is really bringing up a lot of feelings. I dated a guy for 4 years who became increasingly controlling then crossed the line to physical violence. I was in college and managed to escape by going to a study abroad program. He would call me all the time while I was in Europe, getting increasingly scary

I’m so sorry, it’s awful. They don’t look all that much older than my preteen kids (to my old eyes). I’m just heartbroken for their families.

Women are murdered every day in this country because they are....women. The “urgency” is not just the literal life and death situations that women find themselves in due to misogyny; the everyday struggle of women in this country to survive on sub-par wages and with patriarchal constraints that keep them from having a

I’ll never forget when I was dating this man three years ago and one day he proceeded to get strangely aggressive toward me and controlling. I looked him in the eye, tried my best not to look scared and proceeded as normal with cooking, and he backed off of his “weird mood.” But I felt like I escaped something. Then

“Always.”

We also at one point tried to make this an amendment to the constitution (it didn’t get ratified, but we tried and made headway).

I’m so damn tired of the “bathroom argument”. It’s illegal for anybody to molest, in any sense of the word, someone in a bathroom. There is not currently a magical force field that keeps out men (since this usually revolves around women’s bathrooms) that is going to be dismantled by allowing trans folks in. And no,

The schadenfreude is strong with these people. She’s the woman that’s going to get a tampon breakfast sandwich after complaining about the food.

I’d like to think they’re allowing the request for bail, just so they have the pleasure of yelling, “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO,” in her face.

“to never show one moment of sorrow, regret or shame for what he did”

What *is it* about the rich (and the GOP) that literally makes them devoid of any humanity?

Ah, the present pluperfect subjunctive.

I’m not a comic, but I’m what most people would refer to as an assertive, strong woman with a fierce sense of humor. Part of the reason I stayed with my abuser for so long was that I bought into my own mythos as a “strong woman”, and believed that anything he did that was hurtful wasn’t abuse because I wasn’t capable

There is nobody so charming as an abusive man.

I hate that this resonates so much with me. How many times have I heard “You are too good for him.” “You are the coolest girl I know, why are you fucking around with him?” “You are too smart for this.”? A lot. It really came to a head when my college love told me flat out at a party in front of one of my best friends

Or maybe we should start holding men accountable for their trashhuman behavior.

Yes, I definitely think it’s more the (perceived) fact of being a non-traditionally attractive woman who believes herself to be undesirable that results in the exoskeleton rather than the career. My job is pretty damn far from comedy/acting/performance of any kind and, lemme tell you, I’m the funniest, most
