I don't think any of us here would think there was something bad about it, but we're in our little feminist corner of the internet here. I think most people I know would regard that as a tiresome feminist tirade at best and hostile at worst.

As a different sort of designer, I've offered clients a discount for work that I really wanted to do—especially if it has great publication potential. I could easily see a fashion designer justifying a discount based on the visibility on camera which basically makes the piece fall under their advertising budget rather…

Or that you live in LA and are losing all your friends...

it's definitely not unique to geek culture, but it expresses itself differently there. In a more bro or even athletic group this stuff is often more out in the open, but for nerds who truly identify as nice guys who are to timid, the examples he points to are dear to them and frankly even I hadn't thought twice bout…

seriously, I'm going to go home and try to hug my cat, and she'll be all, "wtf human??? put me dowwwwn!" and I'll have to ignore her and wait for her to come cuddle with me, but pretty much furry animals are the only respite I can see from this.

I actually don't think it only takes one, I think one is a very different thing than many. I've had a stalker,a peeping tom, guys who follow me home, guys who groped me on the bus, and best of all the guy who followed me home from the train to beat me. Now any one of those instances in isolation is fucked up, but just…

the thing I really appreciate about this and about the best of the #notallwomem posts is the same: it's just your personal experience with very little judgement layered on top. More awareness of other people's experiences is a great thing that is more valuable than all the clever saying people have posted, it's an…

The discussions around the UCSB killings has left me furious too, so on some level I'm glad that I'm not alone in that.

On the other hand if she's featured and the audience responds well to her, maybe that can help change that situation. I don't know that I'd say it's unfair to let her on the show—she deserves the opportunity to try. I think she probably knows that this is a gamble and will likely be really tough emotionally. At least…

What are the odds that at some point they'll put makeup on her to cover it up, tell her that some clients will demand it so she'd better be able to model without relying on it as some sort of crutch, and she'll cry and have some emotional "breakthrough"?

Well he mentioned that he doesn't have any friends, so he probably legitimately has never learned how that works.

And yet somehow all the brunettes, redheads, overweight women, etc. manage to not go around shooting people up. It astounds me that someone can simultaneously be so offended by rejection of others and reject MOST OF THE WOMEN IN THE WORLD in the same breath.

Actually I save "creep" for people who violate, or appear that they intend to violate, someone else's boundaries, particularly in a physical or sexual manner, and that's how I almost always see it used. And women can be creeps too.

No, just because a guy is shy doesn't mean he's a rapist or a murderer. Also, shy =/= creepy. This guy wasn't just shy—he was hateful, jealous, racist, and sexist, and it's pretty hard for that not to show in some way when he interacts with people. Honestly from the first line of his video above (the golf course one,…

The problem is that these PUA coaches don't just teach self esteem, they teach mysoginy along with it, and that seems like a major player in this guy's head already.

He's not just attempting to profit off of this, he's also feeding into the sick thinking that caused it.

My mother wanted to name me "Amber Dawn." She thought it was cute how the two names go together in some scenic way. My dad vetoed it, because he (rightly, IMHO) thought it sounded like a stripper name.

That last one is like Gary Oldman being the original Johnny Depp.

I'm guessing it's right when she moved to boston— Richard stayed to be with his wife, Ellis wouldn'tlet Thatcher come with, Meredith might have been to young to recognize some symptoms...

I think that's the core of what's so great about her—she knows exactly who she is and doesn't apologize for any of it. Is every bit of her perfect? Hell no. But she owns it, and that's what's so perfect.
