You could have told me this at.........noontime? (I’m kidding Megan).🌸🎅🏻 My winter jog at the secluded lake was contaminated with 4 male joggers wanting to jog five inches from me me and breathe down my neck (poor boundaries, not anything sinister). Coop had 7 times the normal shoppers and brand new cashiers who…

Mass-marketed reusable bags are horrifyingly bad. Go to a bookstore to buy some nice cotton totes. They can easily be washed, they’re cool (slogans)! and quite strong.

Former vet nurse and shelter worker here. It’s a good idea to take your time choosing a pet. Please never buy a pet for your child, even if they’re 17. You, the adult, are 100 percent responsible for the animal’s health. If you’re lucky, your kid might participate. It’s YOUR pet. You need to give it food, water,…

Biologist here. I go by one philosophy. Invest, don’t buy. What are you investing in when you buy cheap $1 plastic reusable bags? Nothing. I always buy cotton totes that I love and will use. *Organic cotton is good and can be composted, so no need to stress how many times you use it, but I found they last a long time…

THANK YOU for sharing your story. That is reassuring. I knew stopping the drug was a first step but I had no idea it could help that much. Good for you for trusting your gut. I’ve run across so many corrupt doctors, it’s scary. You are obviously very resilient! 🙂🌸

Because your boss can fire you.

You’re right, thank you for the concern. I’m a bit unusual in that I’ll take only one Xanax every few months (and only half or a quarter tab at that) as needed. But I still feel lousy the next few days until I run. So WOW, you had SJS? I’m so sorry! My understanding was that once it starts, it progresses to extremely…

I think destigmatizing drugs is wonderful, thank you! I managed to shake my depression in college with mushrooms (not on purpose, it wasn’t known at the time, it just happened to work). I hope they are studied more. I am a severe hypochondriac and I had to stop taking everything, including my Xanax because I read…

Sharing!! Thank you. 👏

I think the above is sarcasm, and highly underrated at that.

I’m wondering how the Red Menace plans to “regain the trust” of women who he groped and slobbered on in the rape room. What does that involve, exactly? Do we even want to know?

Men get it REAL quick when the tables are turned, don’t they?

What I’m hearing a lot of is men saying “I tell my male boss he looks sharp! I tell my male boss his suit is dapper”! What I don’t hear is “I tell my male boss all the time that his hair looks nice”! I think you could get away with this maybe once. If you kept commenting on how “nice” your male boss’s hair looks, day…

Bob, I can’t tell if you’re a genuinely concerned male worker or a damned creep trolling around on a feminist website. But to imply that what I said was homophobic is really disgusting. I said that female coworkers should be shown the same respect as a male boss. If you don’t get why, maybe you should shut your own…

I see what you’re saying, and I do think slips of the tongue happen. The only thing I’d say is that when the harasser has to get caught before he admits he did something wrong, that does not bode well for his future prospects as a responsible human being.

Okay, Cowboy. Go up to your male boss today and say, “Hey Boss, your hair looks nice today”. Use those exact words. Report back on how it went. Okay? I can’t wait to hear about this.

So have you paused for a moment to think about the victims instead of just the harassers? How do you think it affected the careers of women around Franken? Could any of them have left their dream job because Franken made them feel uncomfortable and disrespected? And what if Franken made comments to young female…

I’ve been following disease outbreaks since we hope to travel the next few years (I also have degrees in vet medicine and biology) this kind of problem will get much worse if we don’t start working to reduce pollution. Insects and viruses are finding more hot spots across the globe to survive and travel to. And while…

Guys, simple rule. Let’s make this easy for you. If you wouldn’t say it to your male boss, don’t say it to me. I’ve been at several jobs where I am the only woman. And instead of letting me eat my goddamned lunch in peace, here’s what I get:

Look, I totally get the idea of “Women should protest by not going to the awards”. The problem is, when I reflect on why I never reported my harassers, it’s because I also wanted recognition. NOT for complaining. Not for being controversial. I wanted to be recognized for my work. To be promoted, to have a living wage.…
