She looks just fine.

Yes. She may be covering the butterfly rash. I feel bad for her, lupus can really on the body.

Doesn’t she have lupus though? I’d think that and the treatments she underwent recently would wreak hell on your skin, and you know, gotta look perfect 24/7.

also i think there is truth to what you’re saying, but i would think mostly in the case of sociopaths who couldn’t really be reached by ANY sort of intervention because they just can’t be made to care that other people exist and have the right to be safe around them. i think they have to be pretty far gone to be…

It’s amazing that every girl is a lying whore giving real rape victims a bad name. Considering those misogynist assholes don’t think any girl or women is ever telling the truth, what is a real rape victim to them? There isn’t one. It’s just another line to justify the victimhood of the poor persecuted man. I never…

The comments on other news sites are just gross. So many people calling this girl a liar and saying that she’s giving “real rape victims” a bad name. And people are surprised that she and her family don’t want her information public.

CNN is reporting that Owen Labrie’s parents begged the judge for no time, saying that losing his Harvard acceptance was punishment enough. If you ever want to see how this level of entitlement, assholeness and shittery happens, look no further than the parents. I wish them the worst.

While one year is certainly not sufficient for the crime, him having to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life ensures that he’s completely fucked. He won’t be able to get into a good college, and virtually no reputable company would ever risk hiring him. All of this to say, that while a year may not be…

Good thing I haven’t been keeping up on this thread. It’s like I get the cues: you want to talk to me. You want to do the sex with me. That’s why I return with cues that say, “no.”

I have that book sitting in my to be read pile and am looking forward to reading it.

As a woman who likes to read on patios and at bars in the evenings, rather than solo in my silent apartment, thank you. If I want to chat I'll engage, otherwise IM READING PLZ FUCK RIGHT OFF NO SERIOUSLY I MEAN YOU

Yes, books are just that horrible. To want to read them unaccosted is clearly a sign of deep damage. As to friends, who would want to be friends with someone with an extensive vocabulary and an intellectual hobby? They might introduce you to new concepts and stories.

Did you notice this thread is full of anecdotes about people doing that, and being verbally attacked in response?

One of the young actresses on Modern Family developed very early and very noticeably. At that point, any discussion board was a male presence became all about adult men being clear they wanted to fuck her. Then, she got a reduction, and men got the sads.

I love this and your work as always Kara.

Can we send a copy of this to the guy who spent over an hour screaming at me in a bar after I said “I’m sorry, but I’m really interested in this book and don’t feel like talking tonight”? He had to be chased from the bar at knife point, because after the bartender *literally locked him outside*, he paced around the…

OMG so true. Here is my “are you completely an idiot” story.

So basically you didn’t read the article I linked and rather than respond with rebutting information, you’ve chosen to reiterate your opinion that “well that’s just creepy and everyone knows it!” OK great.

I once had a dude PUSH MY BOOK DOWN because I wasn’t giving him my undivided attention while he was hitting on me. Luckily, a split second before I chewed him out, the older woman next to me when “HANDS TO YOURSELF, SIR.” That lady was so fierce, he got all embarrassed and moved to another seat, mumbling about what…

Ooooh the kindle! How do you like that? Don’t you prefer a real book? You look like you do a lot of reading. Yeah, I was thinking of getting an iPad... Let’s talk about your Kindle, because obviously you just love the Kindle and this will be a great conversation, certainly more interesting than the book that you…
