Bull. I am saying I had better results when I was aggressive in response to unwanted male approach. I also said I was assaulted by a neighbor, which happened twice when I was nine. Having been a victim myself, the last thing I’m going to do is blame someone for being attacked! Are you out of your mind?
I was stalked…

As a female person, I had a lifetime of catcalls, attempted rape, attempted kidnapping, stalking and all the rest to contend with. (As a child I was molested by a neighbor.) One thing I found is that when I was aggressive in return, these men were less likely to mess with me. (Of course there’s always the chance this…

“No thanks, I have a boyfriend.” - His thoughts: ‘She’s a liar’ or ‘fuck her for fucking other men.’

Most men don’t understand the fear of walking down a street. Or how always we start thinking of ways to defend ourselves—if that random stranger comes my way I’ll kick him on the balls, or I’ll run that way. If I scream will people hear me? Should I pull the handles of cars and hope they have alarms. And then the…

I don’t think you got what I said when I said “made in China” - that means the sizing is small. Here in the US, our sizing is different than other countries, because we are fatter. So a lot of stuff on Amazon clothing wise, is usually much smaller. I am saying I wear US 16, so I know it won’t fit me given that the…

I have a light wool cloak that is my main winter “coat” (I live in the south) that a family friend made for me for my 17th birthday. I just turned 42. 

I am the third wearer of my current winter coat.

Confession: my dog’s coat cost more than mine (hell yes being a sales freak). You’d better bet that b*tch wears it every time the temperature dips below freezing during our sad, desolate Midwestern winters. 

Came here to say this. Only wearing an article of clothing for one season is 100% immoral by any scale.

Omg my mom was making boxed shells and white cheddar cheese pasta one night a couple months ago. I taste it and it’s got this WEIRD flavor. I asked her to see if the box was old or something cuz it tasted funny. After wondering if the milk she used had turned sour maybe, I see that she used almond milk. Vanilla…

I was house sitting and came down with what we called my “stomach thing.” Debilitating internal pain for what seemed like no reason, which meant no one quite believed me, including doctors. I made spinach dip for my family dinner before the pain was too much for anything but the fetal position. Tried to tell my mom on…

My father died on Thanksgiving Day twenty years ago. Thanksgiving dinner didn’t happen that year, and neither did Christmas. We were very close and it was very traumatizing.

The last time I traveled for Thanksgiving was when we drove up to my uncle’s house when I was pregnant with my youngest child. We were a full two hours late because it took us almost 8 hours to get there in some of the worst traffic I have ever seen on Thanksgiving Day. I spent the entire drive with a pie on my lap,…

That description is vivid enough to make me feel like I chewed on aluminum foil. 

I’ve got a great one. About 10 years ago, when I was still in my mid 20s and broke as most mid-20 year old are, I received an invitation from a female cousin to come over for Thanksgiving.

My father’s new wife hosted. She cooked the turkey in a plastic bag. The bag deflated and stuck to the turkey’s skin so the skin didn’t roast and get crispy. The cooked turkey looked like it was stuck in a condom and then skin came off with the condom. It was not appetizing site. However, that wasn’t the worst dish…

That one glorious second when she thought it was all going to pay off and be worth it after all...only to realize that when you dance with the devil you don’t leave the floor until he’s ready.

I eat a 80% vegetarian diet. I don’t eat red meat. I walk seven miles a day. Today was a meat eating day and I had more salmon than one person should probably actually consume. There is no heart disease in the women in my family.

At this point, I’ll take whatever I can get. Death, impeachment, prison, just falling down stairs until he breaks all his limbs...

I think he just went to the morgue to get his bronzer done right. Morticians are pros.
