Well, yeah. A lot of conversations go like “Can I have your number?” “No.” “Come on.” “No thanks”. “Just give me your number please!” “I don’t really want to.”, “Please!” “How about you give me yours” “But how will I know you will call?” etc. ,etc. until you give them a fake number. It is either that or make an…

Well, there is awareness and then actually overcoming the problem. It certainly was never okay to say N*&&er in my liberal Boston suburb, but boys called it other f@gs every 5 minutes. But, that doesn’t mean that racism wasn’t still an issue.

I think that age can be complicated too. Anything sexual is pretty terrifying and new, and I think many girls aren’t really clear inside of themselves when they are ready for the next step.

Part of it for me as well as I didn’t feel like I shared because I chose too. I shared because I was having panic attacks all last week over thinking whether I should say something or not. I finally did just to put it behind me.

I am so happy I was dating before texting was a thing.

Never mind, more like 10 years older.

I mean, white boys certainly perpetuate this behavior on their white classmates and teammates all the time. But the way this particular attack was carried out and the particular targets were chosen were 100% about race. And like terrorism, its impact is 100% more harmful because it ties into all the other myriad…

I am about 5 years older, and I think there was a huge change even in that time. Absolutely no one was out in high school but when I came back after a few years to visit, there was a gay/straight alliance, etc.

Most of my relationships have started with people in my social circle and have evolved organically. Approaching strangers in bars is always more of a crapshoot. I had one boyfriend that I met in a bar, and most of it is being aware of whether or not that person is happy to be talking to you or not.

Some of these things are hard to describe in words. I think it has to be very, very clear that there is no interest there for flirting to be perceived as harmless when you are in a client/employee situation. Like an elderly old lady calling you “such a handsome young man”. Also depends on how you define “flirting”.…

I am a woman, and this whole thing as actually gotten me thinking of whether or not I have done some unintentionally racist/homophobic thing, especially in junior high and high school when I was oblivious about those issues. I mean, I know I have never used slurs, etc., but when you are in a position of power it is…

I think there is crack in those pizzas.

I swear when the Weinstein case was just breaking some Jezebel man recounted a story of he and his girlfriend in Central Park involving Toback. I mean, if he was doing this pretty much every day the final count must be in the thousands.

Every account I read makes it easier for me to understand my own fucked up actions and reactions. And I don’t want to say you are strong and brave for sharing, because I disliked people reacting that way when I shared my stories on Facebook. And of course I couched it the same way - I’m fine, men aren’t evil, this…

As a white person and a feminist, I don’t think white feminists deserve any automatic benefit of the doubt, but the question is, who are the “White Feminists” and who is defining them? Generally the people on my Facebook feed are pissed about this - I mean most white liberals hate Trump and look for any excuse to…

What could she possibly say that is relevant to what her brother was doing in the privacy of his own home?

Right, like “I truly honor his sacrifice, and I am sorry that I spoke in a way that caused his widow pain instead of comfort.” It would probably take a speechwriter 5 minutes to come up with something.

I also feel bad (in a way) for guys like him and Pattison and Bieber. Especially Pattison and Bieber, who were literally chased around by throngs of screaming tweens and middle-aged women. Sure, it isn’t as pervasive as it is for women, but I think some specific male actors/singers do experience this in a harmful…

I think Mayim Bialik is also very influenced by her religion and its requirements for modesty. She embraces it fully and I can sort of understand where she is coming from - it might be a nice counterweight to the overwhelming pressure in LA to be sexy all the time - there is no way that she doesn’t ascribe some moral…
