It seems like an end of an era for me... I discovered her book “Bitch” when I was 23 and it helped form ideas that had been bouncing around in my head but never formalized into “feminist”. Prozac Nation hit me hard when I was struggling with my own issues. I think I’ll re-read Bitch out of memory. 

I’m 34, good career, really active... and I’m “ehhhh” about kids. I keep hoping one day I’ll wake up and WANT A BABY NOW but that doesnt’ seem to be the case. I’m really jealous of women who 100% know one way or the other. Unfortunately, time is about to make that decision for me. I have an IUD so there isn’t any…

Oooohhhh boy.... In my last relationship, I made ALL the income (he was BJJ instructor and made $1000/month) and I would lay awake at night stressing that if I lost my job, we were down to eating catfood. I was so relieved when we broke up. I don’t wish that stress on anyone.

We went on a family vacation to St. Maartin and my Dad was STOKED to show us where he and my Mom had their honeymoon. We drove back roads by memory and came upon the hotel - there had been a fire years ago and now it was abandoned, vandalized, and he had to push the hyperdermic needles out of the way. He stood on the…

Well said. I don’t think people understand how difficult it is to lose a church, even if it’s at the member’s choosing because it’s not their cup of tea anymore. He’s going to mourn for a long, long time.

I work at a cement plant, and you’re totally right. The entitlement and privilege of being male is something that’s been beaten into all of our heads over time and it’s extremely difficult to unwire that thinking. I notice it in meetings when I’m constantly talked over, or when I threw a fit that my (lady) gate guard…

No way Sister, I got you beat. I came home from work in October and my now-ex-fiance had moved out and left me a note. Now, he doesn’t understand why I have no interest in getting together, especially after he sent me a bunch of Facebook messages about how horrible and immature I am : / 

I was in the military and am now in the mining industry and I’ve had different experiences. In the military, the whisper network has been in full effect and I’ve gotten hook-ups from strange places because they happened to be a woman too.
 In mining, some women are incredibly territorial in that they’ve been…

In a couple scenes, Bianca wears little butterfly clips in her hair... I spend an entire summer trying to ace the look so I could land me a 8th grade boyfriend, but my hair was too thick and curly : /

I was a fairly sheltered child and I could not fathom what “Would she go down on you in a theater?” line was about... I don’t think I understood that one until high school : /  

So... it’s not a happy story and this is incredibly difficult to write. My Dad’s coworker had invited us over to his house for a Superbowl Party. My 11 year old sister and 14 year old me were lectured that we had to be PERFECT because our actions reflected on him, and if we were bad, he’d get in trouble at work. There…

This story comes from my gym buddy: He and I would lift together, his girlfriend would bob up and down on the elliptical and read magazines. He was a hard core trail runner, and thought it would be a good idea to buy his girlfriend running shoes so she could start running with him as something they could share. Cue…

I agree! But this song is just... there’s no joy to it.It’s just tonal, with swears, and it isn’t something fun to play at the gym or sing with small kids around.

Ahhh!!! I've found my tribe!!! If someone isn't losing their shit about some silly drama it's not a good day at a cement plant

I’m one of 3 women who work at a cement plant. The gossip is INSANE! 

Oh man... the only people I knew was Ryan Loche and the Jersey Shore cast. What does that say about me???? 

... and then the kids get bored and start driving you crazy, so you’re like “FINE, you can have electronics!”

Hey! You sound like me! I never knew how to explain it. I’m having a perfectly normal, happy day, and wondering what’s the point of it all.

I feel the same way... I’m in mining, and there’s so few women in mining fields that feel like you have to have your shit together all the time, every day. Women don’t have the luxury to show emotion in certain environments. I also deal with crippling depression where I have to close my office door and cry. My male…
