Also I hope you get to enjoy your soup!!

No don’t be sorry, I’m so glad to commiserate! (Why do you think I posted here)? 😂 LMAO. I’m a “fixer” too. Sometimes I feel like I’m surrounded by children! Oh and I’m so sorry about your medication, my Xanax wasn’t ready on time and I was so looking forward to some red wine but now my sinus headache means the only…

Ugh, attitude! Hope your holiday is feeling much more positive than that. Happy Solstice!

What I’m over: my family drama. I’m estranged from my mom and sister, but I still call my mom (the mom who used to tell people I’m related to her dog) on Christmas and send her presents. Well, she loves drama. So over the phone she said, “Your sister wants to speak to you”. I thought, she does?? The last time we spoke…

I’m a yoga and meditation fanatic. Trust me, there is nothing wrong with you. We are not cookie-cutters and wouldn’t the world be boring if we were. I do hope you find something wholesome to give you the peace you deserve, but it doesn’t have to be yoga. 🙂🌸

Beautifully said! Yes.

Yes. The way I feel after I find the runner’s high can only be described as miraculous. Winter jogging at my lake can cure anything and send me into a euphoric, joyful state of relaxation. Cold, dark and negativity melt away. I alternate days with yoga or meditation to give me patience and actual compassion and love…

I called out Allen years ago on some site (it may have been Guardian UK) and OMFG the misogynist piling on I got......it was unbelievable. That sick fuck has some seriously demented followers.

He is sickening.

Thank you for that information! Statistics and polls are notoriously hard to untangle.

I heard the statistic as “63 percent of white women”, but that’s just the information I read.

Can we see her very first statement, the original comment that began all this? From what I saw, she yelled that the victims were raging “hypocrites” if they didn’t meet their harasser face to face. It sounded very nasty from where I am sitting.

I would add this into the mix though (see link) and also while I completely agree about caution with statistics, the Women’s Marches I attended were overwhelmingly attended by Baby Boomer women and many who marched for civil rights in the 60s and 70s. Fun trivia: GenXers like me are reportedly an “endangered species”…

Oh, nonsense. The booths are not separate rooms. And if both the President and his son can hover over their wives while they vote, so can husbands in red states. I never said they were “hypnotized”. I said that some women may be bullied into submission. And while I agree on calling out certain people, there are hoards…

That’s TERRIBLE. Shame on the company “leaders” and I hope Karma comes back around to bite them hard. Our mental health is vitally important and what they did should be illegal. These are often no-win situations. In even worse jobs I’ve had I was also threatened with termination for taking time off, specifically lunch…

Thank you! One of the really tough things was that I actually liked many of my coworkers and assistant supervisors. A few of them were the best people I ever worked with. To this day I want to report that (and other off-site) incidents, but I was so afraid my coworkers wouldn’t like me any more.

While I agree that many women are complicit, there is a danger in turning the focus to them and perhaps not considering certain factors. For example, the 63 percent statistic. 63% of white women who voted did so for Roy Moore. Also, considering the weak laws preventing domestic abuse, also in 2014 a gun was used in…

Thank you Jez staff for this article and for bringing up Johnny Depp. When I to,d my story of being punched at work (in addition to being harassed), several male trolls asked me “are you saying that being punched is sexual harassment”? Clearly, men don’t get the full picture. For women at work, this whole thing is a…

Also..............

This picture makes me tear up too. I especially like that she loves black cats, I’m the same way. 🙂
