don’t look at me in that tone of voice.

I had a Kim. She was the source of much anxiety and fear in my life, and whatever nice things she happened to do ended up just her being a CRAZY manipulative TERROR.

You shouldn’t be afraid of your friends.

And, because of super high quality phones/cameras these days and editing apps, amateurs are taking great photos. I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw a plate of food on Instagram. I find there are alot of creative people sharing their lives through photos. And btw, Grace Coddington works for Vogue, a magazine…

God, it must really be awful for those creators to have a bunch of people on the internet making assumptions about their intentions and criticizing them publicly. Good thing it’s only on twitter though, imagine if there was a whole app, just for that!

The problem is that the definition you just posted there isn’t what she meant. Humanism has zero to do with equal gender rights. Feminism promotes the nice easy balance she spoke of. She meant feminism, but she was afraid to say it.

My mom left my 6 year old brother on the side of the road in the rockie mountains once and told him he should stop complaining because complaining attracts bears. Then drive right off. Because that’s how parents in the 70’s rolled.

My mom would say, “yes, you absolutely can.”

So are saying that you CAN’T leave a baby on the side of the road? What if that baby was like being really offensive and told you to let them out and was like cursing?

I can’t summon the outrage that I feel like this article is trying to elicit.

Your Mom sounds like an amazing woman, and one who left you a strong and pragmatic example to follow. All you can do is make the decision that feels right for you, however difficult the choice itself may be.

I am so sorry for your loss. I also have a younger sibling and I feel even worse for him. I don't think he remembers a time when she was healthy. I am sure it has influenced some of the less than optimal decisions he has made. I know it affected me in ways I didn't recognize for nearly a decade. I hope you and your…

Thank you so much for your kindness. I sat here and cried when I read all of your responses.

Nothing to add to your sentiment but lots of well wishes and support. I'm right there with you sister. I also have the BRCA mutation. Had my ovaries out at 35 and my breasts out at 36. It's been a tough road, but I don't regret a thing.

This was my saddest star of the morning :-( I'm really sorry about your Mom, and about little you living in the shadow of those uncertainties. Of course you can never completely insulate your children from loss, as many are pointing out, but I can totally see the reasons for doing whatever you can to make the odds as…

You made the right decision for you and your daughters :) Cancer is such a motherfucker - whatever means we have of beating it/preventing it are completely fair game.

With a toddler at home and my own hereditary concerns predisposing me to breast cancer I can absolutely identify with looking at it from your children's point of view. The last thing I want is to be sick and or die during their childhood. My mother was diagnosed at 32 and died at 48, and I was worried about her from…

Did you miss this part?: "After Jolie's last op-ed, there was a rash of conversation over whether mastectomies for women who carry the BRCA1 gene were really the best way to go; some women said Jolie inspired them to get tested and have the same surgery she had, and at least one study showed that Jolie had been the imp…
