i think you mean

I drove 2,745 miles across the country. Turned out the pictures he sent me of himself were of his roommate. Disaster.

I got married. (No, seriously, I married my first husband so that I could have sex. What on earth was I thinking??)

When I was 15 I used to steal my parents car in the middle of the night, drive 15 miles through LA to my girlfriend's apartment, where she would sneak up to the roof so as to avoid her ex naval officer father hearing us and subsequently murdering me, and have gross teenager sex until 6am. Then, because my girlfriend…

People's childhoods were ruined by warning about racism...

"trolling her daughter like a boss" - LOL! His post was long and rambly. I don't think he's advocating a denial of birth control. I think he's just commenting on how dumb both of the parties involved are.

You and the two or three others who want to pin this on the victim are ignoring the context: the likely history of physically violent abuse and harassment. It's as if you didn't even read. You hit "threw first punch" and stopped thinking critically. The bullied do not get to this point without genuine, justified fear…

I'm glad you took the plunge — I sense you are both incredible and inspired.

Burt, I've been following you and Jez forever now, but I never commented on anything (although my husband has been pressuring me to: "You're reading them all day long, why not say what you have to say?"). Anyway, this article just happened to come soon after we saw a similar windows display at Pottery Barns Kids…

I just love when one privileged group tells a marginalized group what is and what isn't an important issue. Baby clothes may not be that important on the surface, but the words on these clothes clearly send a harmful message that is pervasive throughout societies everywhere: a man's worth lies in his skills and…

There is not going to be an ebola epidemic in the US. Repeat after me: THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE AN EBOLA EPIDEMIC IN THE US. Our health care system, public health resources, and an overall trust of the medical community will prevent the virus from getting a foot hold. There is a high index of suspicion for the…

I really enjoyed this headline:

That is more or less exactly what happened.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I am getting married in a month and if my farmer husband surprises me with this, I will stab him with a cocktail fork.

The worst wedding I've probably ever been to (and really, I haven't been to any others that were genuinely horrible) was my cousin's. I was one of 8 bridesmaids, which is too many fucking bridesmaids, and the wedding was a traditional Catholic one, so it was about an hour and a half long. So much standing and kneeling…

It is tacky, stingy, and self-centered to tell someone s/he isn't authorized to bring a date to your wedding. That being said, it is a much bigger dick move for you to decide you don't want to be friends with the bride anymore, unfriend her on facebook, and then show up to her wedding so YOU can see your friends and…

So I had a housemate in University who was, as the kids say, a bit of a player(Jack, for the sake of the story). One of the girls(Jill) he had an on-again, off-again thing with was this girl where it seemed like they actively disliked each other. They never dated, exactly, but every now and then she'd be there in the…

My uterus hurts from that story. This won't win the prize but I'm sharing anyway.
