It’s recommended, but the ones intent on harassment then use that as opportunity to nail you to the wall for anything any everything.

Not rare at all. Common enough that my Dad has always told me to tie up my hair when I drive to avoid calling it to the attention of the cops that I’m a woman. Note that he specifically said cops, not bikers, not truckers, he worries about cops. What a world we live in.

Lock him up and throw away the key. I’m so tired and exhausted with people blaming the victims and getting away with it.

I will never get tired of telling all the black people in my life who used to get pissed at me for hating Cosby’s creepy Uncle Tom ass I fucking told you so. I had to cut off several family members when they started accusing me of being an Uncle Tom for believing the “white media trying to bring a good man down”. …

I don’t think he will see a day in jail because of his medical conditions, and the fact that he can get any number of doctors to swear he is unfit for prison. However, I really hope that he is sentenced to the maximum allowable. He is one of this countries most prolific serial sexual predators. The good that he has…

Regardless of the outcome (and I certainly hope Cosby will be convicted), the prosecution’s argument is a step in the right direction. Constand and Cosby’s other 50 or so victims deserve whatever slivers of justice they can get.

The tragedy isn’t this man’s fall from grace, it’s that he was able to make us believe that he was, in fact, Heathcliff Huxtable, when it was just another character he played. He’s been doing it his whole life, and now we get to see who he really his. He’s not a mentor, he’s not a family man, he’s just another Goddamn…

This is insane because I used to propose a similar idea as a ridiculous answer to debate against legal abortions - this was in relation to when they attempted to define a fetus as a person, thus abortion=murder. The point I was using was that if they are going to do this, they need to recognize citizenship, tax…

I’ve had friends and family members miscarry and receive a certificate of birth or baptism from the church. That was more than enough to give them some degree of closure and make them feel like their child’s existence, however brief, was acknowledged. I’m leery of the government interfering with this process in any…

Absolutely. Centuries have gone by with no need for this and suddenly our benevolent state apparatus decides to become “compassionate”? Please.

What has Obama done that is terrible to women? What did I miss?

I intentionally waited until my mid-30s to get married and have a kid. I spent my 20s being poor, doing awesome internships, dating, living abroad, and taking jobs that were incompatible with having a family. Plus I got to see a lot of relationships implode so I could see the red flags long before I got emotionally…

I’m so sorry that happened to you. It happened to me too and I’m not over it either. Stories like this bring it all back in the worst way.

When I was sexually harassed at work, the reporting process was at least 5 times as traumatic as the actual harassment - and I had a trusted, personal relationship with the person to whom I had to report. In the end, I was told that I would not be informed of any disciplinary actions that were taken against my…

I wish I could be early to mid 20s again with my 50 year old knowledge, attitude and confidence.

No kidding. I think teenagers need to be given a “Life choices” class where things like navigating the world of sexuality with confidence, discussing consent, and how to conduct yourself in relationships in order to have minimal regrets is discussed. I just set out to be the exact opposite of my ma- who was exactly…

It really is normal, and it really is awful, and he’s gonna have to ride it out. You’ve got the right approach... I sure wish someone had come up to Angsty 17-Year-Old Holly and said “It’s normal what you’re feeling, we’ve all been there, I’ve been there, and it’s OK to feel that way” instead of “Oh, grow up, get over…

Hell yeah. You could not pay me enough to be 18-25 again! That shit is so tiresome.

The real shame is that I continued to sleep with this guy after that display.

When he finally got to look at mine (am so ashamed) he clapped his hands in glee, bounced in the bed, and shouted “BOOBIES!” and went in for the double grab.
