There are probably another hundred or more women with a virtually identical story to tell. Which is awful beyond belief and makes me feel so fucking sick too my stomach. There's something particularly horrible about coming to midway through the rape - I say this having experienced it from both sides, conscious all…

I can attest to the ubiquity of assholes who assume that I am a prostitute on account of my Slavic provenance or that I'm lusting after every single dick out there. I was once asked if I was actively looking for a husband. At an academic party. After my inquisitive interlocutor learned that I am a Ph.D. student…

You are confusing masculinity and machismo. Only one is worth having.

As a fellow ugly woman, I have had similar experiences. Mostly before I was legally an adult. I only know that my experiences were unusual when I compare them to my close female friends - when we were teens, and now.

Thing is, we were all harassed by men in all kinds of situations. When things were at their worst,…

Absolutely. I know it's weird and shitty. But, genuinely, the only times I am approached and treated like a sexual object, it's by . . . middle-aged homeless men. Would I feel better if I were approached by attractive people who weren't decades older than me? I don't know, because I haven't had that experience.

As I have gotten older, I have learned to never complain about the trials of being a man (who is also white...). My wife is a bartender, and customers stalking employees, cat-calling publicly, and physically touching, grabbing even, women (including her) is absurdly common. Keeping in mind these are just things that…

Yeah, first time a strange man grabbed my ass in public, I was in 6th grade. 11 years old.

Exactly, try one or three.

I . . . look, I'm ugly. I'm an ugly woman. It's okay, I am. I am just not . . . conventionally attractive. I was a weird little goblin-faced child, I was a freakish adolescent, I'm an ugly adult.

I'm sorry for the harassment and awful treatment you've been subject to over the years and the course of this story. Hopefully my brief anecdote will afford you a smile.

Imagine living the kind of life where you have the time and the urge to browse twitter for women whose views you disagree with, so that you can then insult them to feel better about your own existence. Must be sad.

Yeah, I guess you showed them, didn'tcha? So...no more feminism, now? Maybe next, you could draw a picture of Putin with a bunch of stink lines coming off of him, and bring down the USSR.....

I tweeted about it being desperate bullshit for Time to include this on their poll, and you wanna know what happened? A bunch of sad men that I don't know called me a bunch of really vulgar names. These are not my followers, these are losers looking for women to insult. Nope, we sure don't need any feminists around…

Meanwhile, if not for feminism, Nancy Gibbs' ass wouldn't be the editor of Time magazine. But, she allowed this "snafu" to go to press. Ok, heifer.

Still had four of a kind.

At least he didn't lose the hand.

It was a priority for me coming in that we'd try to do a lot of these, and there will be many more, glad you like them.

I really hope this is a trend.

Articles like this- well-researched, nuanced, adding historical context to today's topics, sharply analyzed, and well-written- are my favorite part of the Jez: The Next Generation

This comment confuses me because NO ONE is suggesting that as the correct solution.
