You get a non-sarcastic Not All Men badge!

It already has changed something(s): I guarantee you that for every girl who writes about what was done to her by [unnamed creep], there are 5-50 others reading it and having reactions like ‘holy shit, that is EXACTLY what happened to me when I shot with [photographer], and the other things she says make me certain it…

Nah. We won’t kill him; the worst we’ll do is LAUGH AT HIM. Take that, if we ever get around to finding it funny, Terry!

(ahaha, I see it!! It took a second, but yes! I think it’s totally in the expression/hair/angle, though, like I’m *sure* you could google 10 pictures of Reese with that exact expression and hairstyle, with her head cocked like that and superimpose it almost perfectly onto Salma.)

I’ve read your other comments on lots of other posts, and I’m sorry at the response to this one, because I think it can be read a couple ways - one being, ‘creeps gonna creep, but then they hit an age/level of comfort where they don’t even bother to try and hide it or pretend to care,’ and the other being some…

omg, honey... [not in the dismissive way, but in the ‘I-want-to-hug-an-internet-stranger’ way] I’m in tears and sick to my stomach and so angry for 12-yr-old you and at the people who should have protected and believed you.* The experience of writing it down for the first time (or even telling the whole story out loud…

So much this. And I am so sorry that happened to you.

What? Now you’re just talking crazy; If he’s a man, then EVERYTHING in the public space is for him.

Damn, I am fangirling on her so hard right now.
(Also: is it just me, or when she was talking about keeping men’s tongues out of her mouth in her 20s, did it look like she wasn’t making a ‘tongues’ gesture? Because that is some funny shit if she was deliberately using tongues as a polite euphemism, so she couldn’t be…

Geez, right? My exact first reaction on seeing that. The stuff I’ve seen is horrifying - and I don’t even follow twitter (I read if it’s a thread linked from here or a friend).
Like, are there even TOS? Or are the suspended accounts just completely random, without even a facade of responsible behavior?

(actual lol)

(Right? I was all, ‘sorry, what were you posting about, again? ...pretty...’)

wow, like, almost cgi-creepily so (with nose ring for human-difference authenticity?). Scrolling down the page, most of the daughter’s face appeared before Reese’s did, and I 100% thought it was a picture of her - not even ‘young’ her, just ‘looking good’ her. Those Witherspoon genes are STRONG.

omg you are SO RIGHT. I saw and yet did not know what I was seeing!

::sob:: first thing I do is click on show pending.
If it helps any, I’ve been reading Jez for years [wow, is *that* not a brag...], and - except for a few years back, right before they instituted the hidden-til-clicked-otherwise feature because people were posting monstrous images and such - I haven’t experienced…

hey! starred for komodo dragon hypothetical! :D

Ok, that is 100% bullshit. If you are EpiPen/anaphylactic shock level allergic -
#1 you BYOEpiPen everywhere, just in case, because you’d rather not die, and
#2 DOGS! THEY ARE NOT RARE!
I could almost get behind this chick if someone was bringing along their emotional support komodo dragon or some exotic freaking…

seriously? you’re literally the first ‘psychiatrist’ I’ve seen espouse this slippery slope/animal dependency issue. For CPTSD and other severely abused people, these animals are the only connection to another living thing they’re likely to form in their lives. Building trust with any living creature has been shown to…

^ Yep. (and way better explained than my spiel...)

I know a lot of people with emotional support animals from a specific organization where I work - I don’t think I know anyone from outside of there with one. They are NOT service dogs (who are AMAZING and - possibly with exceptions I’ve never seen - almost unbelievably well-trained and non-intrusive). In addition to…
