Laura Beck (the author above) is a vegan.

So am I! (No, I haven't linked to - or even watched - the video. I've seen it going around though.)

He had sex with her when she was "blackout drunk." That's date rape. He deserves the criticism here.

"But if I'm a psycho then what does that make him?"

A date rapist...

Yeah, both people should be upfront before it. That's how you get real consent.

You didn't act like 'a psycho'. Someone had sex with you THEN had the cheek to say he didn't want a relationship. If you thought things were headed towards one, it would come as a shock.

Your feelings are valid. Start sticking up for yourself more instead of worrying about offending some man (who sounds like a…

I've been on holiday to Turkey and the Westernised holiday cities are entirely different from the more culturally traditional parts. I was shocked when I later watched a documentary about the regular 'honour killings' there.

Most people in the UK view it as being like Greece or Italy. The reality is very different.

This video is disturbing, so be warned.

That's what my ex said. He claimed he was helping them. In reality he was an opportunistic predator and even his male friends knew it.

I'm not going to kid you: thinking about depressing things in talk therapy makes you feel intensely worse for a while, but at least you're telling someone. It removes some of the shame,…

I have no idea why the media haven't reported it. There are a few videos on youtube, so maybe post them are the tumblr link around.

I had a really horrible boyfriend, on and off for around eight years. All my friends and family hated him, but I always got back together with him. Some friends even cut me off after an ultimatum.

Anyway, the last time he spoke to me (two years ago) it was to send three messages describing in detail the various ways I…

Listen, I had to look through your commenting history to make sure you weren't trolling. That's how bad it is.

Seriously report that evening to the police as assault, because that's what it is.

(I've been in crappy situations with men before, but not that bad. I understand that you probably have low self-esteem, but…

Ha, that reminds me of the time I went to see My Ruin years ago. I went with a platonic, straight male friend. It felt wrong. The entire audience were female. I ended up chatting to some girl for an hour about how crap out ex-boyfriends were.

I'm currently kicking myself because I got into an argument with someone I was really interested in, exactly this time last week, while PMSing. Then spent the next few days apologising and complaining at him, now he won't speak to me anymore.

Has anyone seen the tumblr coverage of the Turkish riots? It's much more shocking than anything Gawker have reported.

I see a psychiatrist for OCD. Anyway, once I asked about aspergers and she said she can usually tell when people have it because their eye contact is bad when they come into sessions. That and they tend to go on about Disney films.

Sometimes people find that kind of shyness endearing. At least I hope so, and that's what a few people have claimed. At least it's not threatening.

Now I feel bad, because I drink at least a few cans of diet coke every single day. That's apparently abnormal on Jezebel!

She's clearly intensely ill. By definition insanity means having no control or idea about the consequences of words or actions.

My psychiatrist has avoided giving me a diagnosis because she believes in treating the symptoms, rather than labeling the person, but I've had the same frequent ups and downs for a decade. I know what you mean. I can also understand why you drink to cope with it. It's a strange way of experiencing time, going from one…

"Fuck the haters" in this case is probably referring to 'hate' in the real sense. Mean judgement and mocking. Not genuine concern.
