Same! But we actually succeeded in our mission, because one of our main gripes was that tucked in shirts made some girls feel self-conscious, and not all body types were well-suited for tucked in shirts. We told them they were making life harder for girls that were already getting teased, and I gotta give my old…

This needs way more stars

Me too! I think I just wanted to look smart, but half the time I had no fucking idea what those books were even about. And I enjoyed the concerned reactions I got from teachers.

Yea I can’t get my head around it. Just to upset commenters? To run people off so they don’t comment? To punish us for having vaginas? Are they mad because they can’t get out of the greys? Or maybe it’s someone’s abusive ex, and he knows his ex-girlfriend reads the comment section so this is his desperate attempt to…

True. I just think it’s a very unusual thing, for the parent to not know. Does it happen? Yea. Buuuut...not as often as we’d like to believe. I’ve sat bedside with several child victims, I’ve heard the screaming, I’ve seen the swelling and the wounds. I’ve had to stand in the doorway and block the mother from coming…

Ok. I ask because there seems to be a hair trigger for “trolls”...starts to feel like a witch hunt. I believe and support the cause but...I’m increasingly skeptical

Who is the troll?

I refuse to have closure. My heart beats for her.

Oh snap! I dont want to support this boring ass pissing contest, but my parents splashed fake blood on me as a kid and made me stand outside an abortion clinic. I felt so guilty, it was awful, even as a 7 yr old I knew those women deserved compassion. Worst. Pissing contest. Ever.

well. There’s no delicate way to put this, but you’re a fucking moron. I have more experience than you’ll ever know, as a victim, advocate, and healthcare professional that sits bedside with victims regularly. Sit the fuck down

Damn. I remember how mad I was when my sister died and everyone was just like “you healin?” No. no. No! I almost refused to heal because everyone was pushing it on me heal, heal, heal. I was (still am) so hurt and I just wanted to be allowed to be hurt. We need to allow people to have those shit feelings for as long…

Most boring pissing contest idea ever. Sign below

I didn’t actually know my rapists full name until facebook suggested I be his friend. I didn’t want to know.

Pack it up, already, America. Rich is doing this rather than getting baked with the writer we really liked (miss you pot psych) and if I have to stomach this fuckjng election one more day I might die with you guys rubbing it in my face that a toddler with highlights is making more money than me making up ghost stories.

Dave Chapelle, my marriage looks to you

I might be wrong. Especially if there was harassment involved. Sorry. I’m just trying to give people the benefit of the doubt until I have time to actually go through this random persons comment history. I do appreciate your input!

Oh Jesus. But that’s not “trolling,” as much as I might hate it. There are a lot of commenters on here I disagree with. Actually, I find vac’s focus on benjaminallover more concerning than anything else. Maybe this person just has some strong views that are against the stream. I support that. However, zeroing in on…

Weird! There is some weird stuff going on here. Thank you for the insight. I like to give everyone a chance...in the good ol’ days, under a different name, I was pretty harshly bullied and iced out by some very well-known (long since vanished) commenters. I disagreed with them (about my own religion, how dare I) and…

Yea, that’s my fear; good commenters refusing to accept someone who thinks differently from them. You might have an uphill battle to fight around here, but I appreciate diverse views and giving everyone a chance.

Whew!
