I disagree, because at the point where it was made VERY clear that his girlfriend would be unhappy in this relationship, it was clear they wanted different things. Its not a relationship when one person is so clearly emotionally distraught and your "dick feelings" take precedence over the emotional pain you are…

I know there's a "happy ending" to all this, but this made me very sad:

I think maybe it was a Freudian slip because I want to hit this guy over the head with a viola.

Nobody said that. Also, the abuse tends to predate the sex work, not the other way around.

People like to sweep the ugly side of the sex industry (the fact that so many of its performers are only performers because of previous sexual abuse, or severe poverty) so that they can enjoy it guilt-free. It's one of mankind's more embarrassing tendencies.

I remember a certain famous person retelling his story about going crazy when he met Tommy Lee because "dude, you fucked Pamela Anderson!"

Utena is a series everyone should really see. Really enjoyed it, and am always a little sad when I remember that Utena's voice actress is no longer with us.

You have DVDs/BDs now. There is no reason to rehash the alt.fan.sailor-moon sub/dub wars of 1997, thanks.

I would've said, really loudly, "NO, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SIGN UP FOR THE REWARDS CARD SO I COULD GET ONE DOLLAR OFF MY BOX OF TAMPONS PLEASE. AND CAN YOU HURRY UP I'M BLEEDING RIGHT NOW."

Every time I'm like, okay, I'm going to figure this out now and ooh, that's interesting, okay FUCK THIS 90s chat-room design I'm out.

As somebody who did their student teaching at a high school, I feel her pain. There were constantly notes on my car from male students, I was mentioned in their homework assignments (i.e. when they had to write a sonnet during the Shakespeare unit, there was an inappropriate one about me), and when I graduated, there…

To all the people saying Ms. West is overreacting, hysterical or going off the deep end, unless you have been on the receiving end of this or have to deal with other forms of daily harassment from men, you have zero ability to understand.

And you wind up with biology classes full of teenage boys who feel no compunction whatsoever in dismissing their female teachers' authority, sticking cameras up their skirts, and literally turning their bodies into a game. Tell me the one about the hysterical feminist again. Tell me your "rape culture isn't real"…

Hollywood is perpetuating the millennia-long bait-and-switch of all representational art: the idea that beauty is goodness, and that ugliness is badness. I'm about to go all Platonic on the ass of today's "poets" and invite them out of the city. "Ugly" people are (can be) good, and they have done important work for…

Didn't anyone involved in this thing at least think of considering Uzo Aduba? She's the Nina Simone-iest looking person ever, and she's an actress. The stars were aligning here, people.

I wasn't exclusively talking about Apple apps but I appreciate your information from the account 'lena dunhams boobs'. It really makes me want to take your stance on this more seriously.

Hey, if the colleges agree with you that it was "harmless" than no futures will be ruined. If, however, they decide that they would rather not have someone capable of this on campus than the authors of this prank will have ruined their own futures.
