I thought you were supposed to send your criminals to Australia, not the States. You asses.

We have been ignoring him for a long time in the UK and I promise you, you will not regret this path.

Your other examples are correct, but the one about the cake specifically is as wrong as was the author’s take on it.

Thank you. Two things can be true— we can acknowledge that this is more than most rapists get, while maintaining that it is insufficient. Additionally, I would argue that he WAS coddled, and the judge WAS lenient, because he’s a rich white kid, drenched in privilege. Let’s be real, black and brown rapists would never…

The Daily Beast said Persky “coddled” Turner; the petitioners said the sentence was “lenient.” Yet they’re both wrong. The truth is that Brock Turner will spend more time in jail than 97 percent of rapists.

Yup. I once attended a 5-day bachelorette ‘weekend’ that was 99% drinking and 1% we actually stood up and did something. By day 3 I was like, “Guys. I feel like shit. I need to take at least one day off from drinking. Sidenote, how do all of the rest of you not feel like shit right now?” I was slapped in the face with…

Thank you for your compassionate and comprehensive thoughts. I want to add something that you may be touching upon in the future. Bi-polar persons literally medicate themselves with alcohol and often drink WAY too much. Many become alcoholics. Proper medication seems to dimisish the reliance on alcohol and makes it…

I don’t drink that much either. I don’t care for the taste of most alcoholic drinks and after 8 years of being either pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant my tolerance is completely shot so even one drink makes my head swim. Idgaf about other people’s drinking and I wish they would extend me the same…

There are more, but I’ll stop.

This is one of the most useful and important articles I think I’ve ever seen on Jezebel. I want to congratulate everyone here who has stopping drinking and stayed clean after they realized they had a problem. I have no addiction issues myself, but my life was briefly affected by alcohol use on the part of a family…

Nothing “works” to keep someone sober. You work to be sober. There are tools that help. You know what doesn’t “work”? Not trying.

I’m never going to call myself grateful for being the daughter of an alcoholic, because it’s its own brand of suck, but the end result has been a complete avoidance of alcohol for my whole life. And that I am grateful for. As a society, our dependence on it is kind of mind-blowing to me, and I know, KNOW that had I…

I needed this article so much right now, thank you so much for putting this viewpoint out there. I have been struggling the last few months with finally cutting alcohol and the demons that follow it down to a minimum in my life. I have absolutely no one to talk to about this so sorry I’m about to spill my guts. I had…

No matter how you feel about her, 100 years ago American women didn’t even have the right to vote, so this is pretty cool.

I really wonder what she’s going to do next with her life. She’s so intelligent, warm and thoughtful. She’s also clearly ambitious, though I’m persuaded that she has no interest in running for office herself. I love Barry. But when it comes to this next stage of their careers, it’s clearly her turn. Would she write a…

YOU HAD ME AT HELLO CHELLE !!!

Oh, Michelle.
