I dislike that her rumored bad attitude is being used to dismiss her feelings on her own rape. Also, not to be that black girl, but her comments on not being raised to
be coddled, and being raised to stand on her own two feet have a lot to do with how black women are raised to be survivors of all sorts of abuse and…

Her narrative is her narrative. It doesn't have to be most people's narrative.

I feel incredibly strongly about people's right to self-identify in any way that seems right to them, so you keep keeping on, Gabrielle Union. You're clearly a fantastic lady with all the right switches flicked. But it's also probably worth giving space to the idea that being made a victim is not something to be…

The following statement is so NOT THE EXPERIENCE OF MOST WOMEN, GIRLS, BOYS, MEN, PRISONERS, SLAVES and the DEAD around the world that I cannot even begin to address how self absorbed, uninformed and deeply offensive her statement is.

My mother and all her sisters were also sexually abused by their father during their childhood.mmy grandmother couldnt even kick him out because she wasnt educated, was completely dependent on him for survival and the thought of the shame a separation would bring on her family caused her and her daughters to be…

I distinctly remember the day I first came back home from my freshman year in college. My parents picked me up from the airport, fussed over me a bit, got my luggage and put it in the car. After some general chit-chat, my mom turns to me in the back seat and says gravely, "We have some sad news for you that we didn't…

My mother ruined my credit, stole my identity, purchased cars, lit a fire for insurance fraud and blamed it on me, abused me sexually, physically and incredibly emotionally, and killed two of my cats, one in front of me.

Best thing from the new reviews

Jesus Christ, I'm not sure where you got "hate" out of any of my comments on Macklemore. Yes, I think he's a nice guy and I also think his success illuminates some really important structural inequalities that need to be talked about until they are fixed. I'm not going to hold my tongue on the latter just because of…

I see some commenters feel it was immoral of her to tape the conversation.

Let me just take a moment to reply to myself and hopefully my comment will be towards the top.

Your white feelings have very little to do with this situation and good job making it about YOU. Reverse racism, which you just invoked, or racism against white folk is literally something that does not exist and cannot exist in the USA. Your being bummed out at generalizing of white folk has nothing to do with…

It's because whenever somebody points out something racist a white person is doing, a white person always has to pipe up and say "Hey! We're not all like that!" It's known that a lot of us white people are allies. There's no need to get defensive and make it all about us.

Oh man, I had the same situation. My ex was always getting texts from "psychos" who were "obsessed" with him. Of course, years later I learn that he was cheating on me with all of them and I was portrayed as the "psycho, controlling girlfriend." Oh well!

RE: First paragraph: I am always cautious when a person describes their ex as "psycho." It's a red flag to me.

People whose business it is who Kate Winslet's children live with:

It's pretty telling that the only way they can get all those false rape accusations they whine about is to manufacture them themselves.

THANK YOU. I had the same naive view and that VV article totally shook me up. I'm glad Jezebel addressed this.

I'm not telling anyone who to honor. But don't pretend that there's not some cognitive dissonance there by honoring someone who isn't even truly an advocate, just "less awful to gay men" than his predecessors.
