I don’t know so much that the working class white men were raised to think they were special individuals. I think they were raised to think they were Real Americans, special as a group. And they were owed a job with benefits and a wife to take care of, and they were owed respect. And when they voted for their own…

Can someone just break her out of jail now and take her out of state? I am sure they would get fired, but are the feds going to try to take this all the way to the Supreme Court?

Let’s think - this started when she was 15. He wouldn’t let her have her own credit cards or phone and monitored all her emails. And over the course of a decade of psychological manipulation (starting at age 15) convinced her that she was talentless and replaceable and everyone hated her.

I can’t imagine how freaked out the parents of the kids who were in his daycare were/are.

I remember when my roommate was doing online dating and I was like “What is this crazy thing?” Ah, it was an innocent time...

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…
