Let me just stop you right there, sister. Will a man know what it is to be a woman, probably not. Can a man know what it's like to be commoditized and dehumanized, hell yes. A man can also know what it's like to be a victim of human trafficking and used as a sex toy.

You aren't helping those of us who have…

Yeah, I am a hippie-dippy “put-some-calendula-on-that” kinda gal (no, really dudes. Motherfucking calendula on all the things)—I am even planning on making my own shampoo in the coming days!—but this oil pulling stuff has me arching my eyebrow crazy high, mainly because it’s like “Oh. So you’ve added insane levels of…

As an adopted child and a birth parent, this really hit home to me. When I was struggling with the idea of abortion vs. adoption, I actually had someone say- "why would you give your baby to a stranger? How could they love your child as much as you could?" They said this to me in full knowledge that I was an…

You didn't read it did you? I have this same problem. I'm young and female and people think I haven't 'Paid my dues' by having children yet so I owe them free childcare. The FUCKING issue is that they expect her to babysit for free at the expense of her work. How would you feel if that were you? Heres a crazy idea. If…

Look. I grew up with 2 parents who worked in biomedical labs. And occasionally there would be situations where I had to stay in their offices—snow day, school off and no available babysitter, gas leak in the school, etc. I grew up going to New York City public schools—of course they didn't have any "childcare options…

"ANOTHER PARENT WHO THINKS YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW THE WORLD WORKS UNTIL YOU HAVE KIDS."

Oh, look...an entitled parent who want special treatment because they have kids. Railing against the system in the US if fine, but don't make your kids your cowokers problem. They are NOT.

She's gained attention. That's the endgame for her. I know someone like this and the lies are truly fantastic and stories change with the weather. If you confront them with discrepancies they flat out deny ever having said or done what doesn't add up. They want the attention and they are very good at getting it.

I think that posing as someone who has cancer online and other internet lies are relevant to this. It's not the same as bringing up drinking in a rape allegation. She made the allegation online and the details are dubious at best. I don't think it's inappropriate at all to note that she has a history of fabricating…

And why would someone lie about being sexually assaulted? What could be gained from that? Nothing, really.

I'm having some difficulty with this. I know there is a victim-blaming monster inside of all of us, but the inconsistencies in her story (particularly regarding the twins) really hurt her cause. Now, just because she lies about one thing, does not necessarily mean that she lied about the rape - which is important to…

You say she doesn't have anything to gain by making these statements and accusations, but she gained attention and that's exactly what she wanted. This is disgusting.

I once met a guy on MSN when I was around 15. I didn't realise it for a couple of years but the pictures he had been sending me of himself when he was 'younger' were old pictures of Conor Oberst. We were supposed to meet a few times, but every time I arrived to meet him he wouldn't answer his phone and we didn't meet.…

He's suing her for "...shame, mortification, hurt feelings, embarrassment, and humiliation", AKA the topics of every single song he's ever written?

No, it's true. I totally believe him over her in this case, and I even think the suit has merit. It sounds like she's a disturbed stalker. It's just the language is kind of ridiculous.

She'd be a lot more believable if she knew how many of her twins are alive.

i mean, this allegation has already made a lot of his fans not wanna support him. idk if someone were floating a false rape accusation about me out there i would be pretty damn angry

As a life long Catholic I have never heard a hateful or even slightly negative word spoken about LGBT people in church or among my Catholic friends.

For starters, the life of an academic has ZERO relevance for people in the corporate world who don't have tenure and and do risk being fired or eliminated from their job.

And if she was being honest, she would acknowledge that she hates her work. If you find giving interviews about your work and building your network…
