Oh me too!!!! And if I lock myself in my room, listen to Adele for four and a half straight hours and eat copious amounts of chocolate straight out of the bag, well, it will only be in celebration of my (sniff) happiness. Um, ignore the sniff, I just have a winter cold....

I agree; her mom blamed her for the attack as well.

Yes, choice is so important. I have a friend who was raped at the age of 16. Coming from a Catholic family, abortion was not even discussed; but her mother also barred her from giving up the child for adoption, saying that the baby was her first grandchild and she had to keep it. Beyond belief.

My mom and sis and I watch White Christmas, The Bishop’s Wife, Miracle on 34th Street and Christmas in Connecticut. Then Mom goes to bed and we watch Die Hard.:)

So I was a teen-ager when my dad got us our first VCR (just aged myself majorly, did I not?) At any rate, at the video store I saw a film on the shelf called Thief of Hearts; the movie in which Steven Bauer plays the hawt burglar who steals a women’s secret diaries and then acts out the sensual fantasies outlined in

YES! We're not just talking about lyrics here. We're talking about real life instances of abuse against real women. And these women are being ignored.

Hillary, please consider this young gentleman for your VP!:)

I know; as difficult as it is for me to hate Julia (Erin Brokovich was so empowering, and my parents and I used to enjoy Steel Magnolias and some of her romcoms together), I couldn’t believe the T-shirt stunt.

“Megyn Kelly is leaving to finally have the Y in her first name removed and replaced with an A.”

In the song you reference, Folsom Prison, the gunman is being punished for his crime. The song doesn't glamorize the crime or make it sound fun, sexy or cool—unlike the rape lyrics discussed here, which make rape sound like just another sex act.

One of the single most revolting things I've ever read in my life. It's a shame when people have no real talent and have to shock their way to fame. I think we need Collective Shout over here as well.

FilmSite has a comprehensive list of the top 100 grossing films of all time, worldwide. Some of the titles include Titanic (both a male and female lead, told a woman's story), Alice in Wonderland (2010), The Hunger Games movies, Frozen, the Twilight movies, Maleficent, Mamma Mia!, and Gravity. It also has a list of

Judy Burnley from Nine to Five probably would have a strong opinion about this situation.

One time a co-worker and I saw a newspaper article about marital rape. She gave me a blank look and said, "What's marital rape? It can't be rape if they were married—unless of course it was really violent or something." I said, "If anyone says no or fights back, or if they're too drunk or drugged to do either, then

To the women in this article, to the people commenting here about their own experiences; the bravery, dignity and strength that you show are superhuman. The same goes for the angels who are flying among the commenters, saying "Hugs" and "I'm sorry." I'm so proud to be here among you. You and your stories do matter,

Addicted to Fresno looks hilarious! Also, I remember working at a video store a long time ago and having a customer complain about a movie "that looked like it would be about cheerleading but turned out to be about gay stuff." She honestly thought that But I'm a Cheerleader would be like Bring It On.

I really like both of these ladies, enjoy their music, and I DO see Nicki's point—I just wish she had thought a bit more about stereotyping before she sang, "Yes I'll do the cookin, yes I'll do the cleanin, yes I'll be the woman." Have almost had a few fender benders rushing to change the station when that mess comes

Yes, pro choice, pro gay rights, but anti anyone lying to his spouse and children and maybe endangering their lives. I'm not talking specifically about the man in the Gawker story, but in general a man who cheats with anyone—male or female—could be bringing home AIDS or another disease. Married couples in their child

LOL! And the phrase “Yeah, he cheated on me with my sister, and I lost all of his money in a Ponzi scheme, and then killed his father and his dog to get back at him for ruining my career.” also sounds like the perfect hook for a country song.:)

I clearly remember an episode of Three’s Company (believe me I was not a regular viewer, but Joyce DeWitt is an amazing lady and she’s from my hometown) in which their neighbor Larry asks Jack Tripper if he had forced himself on one of his roommates—immediately reassuring him that he ‘still respected him’ even if he
