TIMES ONE MILLION. So says a not-the-youngest woman who:

Once, in a comment thread long ago, it was proposed that trolls on Jez get "Bee'd." Unfortunately, in this comment system, that would mean they get promoted. Sometimes I think it would be worth it though. Yeah, your comment got bumped up, but all that's under it is Oprah and a giant swarm of BEES.

I'm loving you all over this thread! The goal is safe spaces for all people—that's what makes it okay to nerd out in those spaces to begin with. I think the freezing-up thing is VERY common for women, as at least an initial response to finding themselves in a suddenly/surprisingly negative and invasive interaction. …

I think y'all are giving him way too much credit for his thoughts about what constitutes his being "dominant" and what he thinks is wrong/less preferable about that. I think he's saying—to somewhat speculate and liberally paraphrase—that he's been the kind of guy who just goes for the hair-pulling/throat grabbing…

HAVE. MERCY. Tim Riggins hair forever!

I Feel A Sin Comin' On. That is how pictures of Taylor Kitsch make me feel.

I imagine her as being the most fun friend I wish was in my real life. Her Twitter is my favorite thing on the internet. She's funny. She regularly posts pictures of the beautiful, incredible things she's collected over her career. All her lipsticks. Her Swarovski crystal carousel horse. The personalized labels…

EXACTLY. How are you supposed to lay out your already-carefully-crafted dismissal/invalidation of what you assume her version of Sexism 101 is if she doesn't engage with you and queue you up? CHILLING EFFECT ON YOUR SPEECH.

I agree. If someone is too lazy to google and/or too incompetent to recognize credible sources of information, then my paraphrasing years of careful sifting, reading, and unpacking of my own experiences is not going to help.

"I had planned to send them to boarding school, since their education at the moment seems to consist mostly of marching around Salzburg singing scales. I think it would have been particularly helpful for the eldest daughter, who seems intent on losing her virginity to the mailman."

So spot on!

No, your skin will lose collagen and fullness over time, no matter what you do. Twenty-five was approximately the age when I started using under-eye concealer every time I put makeup on because foundation didn't totally even them out anymore.

I think this gif is pretty much the face of the unwarranted hate being hurled your way right now.

This is what I wanna do to allllllll that shit. Lindy, when is your birthday? I will send you a sledge hammer.

This is bizarre and hilarious, and it's cracking me up. "Haha! But I have the spoon!" "I will eat the ice cream with my hands!" *Everyone laugh—this is so clever!*

Linking an article that is kind of long, and it is HARD TO READ because it describes terrible scenarios of abuse toward animals. Animal abuse/cruelty is a felony now in all 50 states because law enforcement organizations started to figure out that it is so frequently linked with violence toward other humans.

I didn't watch it. And I do not watch it, or entertain the idea of watching it. I know he sucks. A friend of mine (who is a veteran) saw the ads for it one day she was home sick from work, and she looked it up.

Nobody's perfect. And it's easy to be critical early and/or excessively, even of Good Dudes, Good Women, Good People. I'm just glad he's comfortable enough to say this shit out loud. Your criticism of the audience's relative attention is nowhere near what kinds of garbage he likely gets from the "bitch deserved it"…

Someone informed me today that apparently "Dr." Phil had an episode of his show titled "From Hero to Monster" or "From Soldier to Monster" about these extreme incidents where former soldiers murdered people or family members. It blasted PTSD like everyone who suffers from it just has to be violent, and…

WOW. Yeah, clearly the "adulterers and fornicators" don't feel bad enough. We should shame them MORE, not less! God would hate a realistic, empathetic, supportive sexual ethic emphasizing health, consent, and safety!
