That was unnecessary and kind of mean.

For 6 years, I refused to wear skirts or jeans because of the harassment I received while working at a NASA facility. However, let me be honest, my harassment wasn’t as bad as it was for some of the other women so I normally try not to complain. From a racial point of view, as a Black woman, I’m protected in a way. I…

It always makes me feel sick to my stomach when fathers have this kind of possessive, lecherous view of their own daughters, and make a lot of allusions to their sexual purity and beauty. Just—your own parent seeing your primary worth as a person being your value as a compliant and fuckable little wife for someone is…

But if they are finding them guilty through a preponderance of evidence (which is what university proceedings normally use as their standard), and there are very few false accusations, then it stands reason that “nearly every” accused student was found guilty. That isn’t the same as every student, and it doesn't mean…

Everyone has their thing. I feel bad criticising my own in a weird way because it, maybe, legitimises someone else hating their own insecurities. I’m sorry to hear you be down on yourself. I have some broken capillaries too on my cheek and redness around my jaw. Foundation and concealer tones it down and I’ve learned…

HE PLAYED THE VIDEO ON HIS PHONE FOR SEVERAL BUDDIES OVER DINNER. A local waiter complaining is what helped get the story in the news.

Those are a lot of “facts.”

It won’t be the only thing they remember, Amanda. My husband died in 2009. He was a writer, a historian, a genealogist, and a storyteller. He was much beloved in his community. He lived for 3 years after his diagnosis. The last year was pretty tough - but that isn’t what people remember. They remember the stories he…

I teach women in their late teens and twenties, and I make it a point to engage them in a discussion about HPV and cervical cancer at least once during the semester. I use myself as an example, having been diagnosed in my early 20's with cervical cancer. I was too old for the HPV vaccine, but not too late to save my…

Exactly. It’s neither a coup nor a hostile takeover. This man was democratically elected. This the party that the GOP built that they’re now wanting to pretend they didn’t build, or didn’t really mean to build. But this is what happens when you deny people adequate public education, stoke their paranoia, and reward…

I’m black and voting for Hillary. #SorrynotSorry. I don’t find this condescending at all. Why don’t you get in government IS the right answer. I’m so tired of all these whiny people running around complaining all the politicians are in someone’s pocket or are “UNAUTHENTIC” . GO BE A POLITICIAN Then. That’s an…

As a fellow teacher, I agree with you. No guns in the classroom - not in my students’ hands or mine. Mind you, I AM good under pressure and I’ve handled guns numerous times. Furthermore, I’ve survived two different incidents when an unstable teen put a gun to my head, and one where a student threatened to beat me up…

How is this putting us in an awkward position. I'm truly sorry he went through such a horrific ordeal, but he's still an idiot for pressing for this nonsense line of reasoning. Is he advocating that teachers now need to be in the position of making life or death decisions in an already high pressure situation.…

My understanding of it is yes, he would, and that’s part of her problem too, just not as much as her concern for her safety.

Unpopular opinion but I think it’s valid complaint. A lot of these “girl power” artists use it only to further themselves and their own careers but remain silent during the trials of others.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

That is as terrifying as it is enraging.

that’s awful.

Well, the dead-eyed faces of banal evil. There you are. That poor child.

I’m not even sure they won the battle. Not only did they lose their case, but the court decided THEY were the criminals. They came off looking like total dumbasses. I can’t believe their lawyers are trying to call them whistleblowers...they didn’t blow the whistle on anything! The videos didn’t reveal any misconduct.…
