It was picked up not because of anything he was wearing, but a bit more to do with how he climbed on a moving schoolbus and went batshit.

I froze. I froze, and I had fought the same person off many times before.

Yup, freeze is common. and I assume he would know exactly which woman to pick... he’d target the ones who’d have everything to lose... who no one would believe.

I’ve done the Freeze and absolutely hated myself for it.

I’ve done the Freeze and absolutely hated myself for it. It stemmed from horrified disbelief that I was being groped and then, as it continued to happen, that nobody was doing anything to stop it. As you say, I had no control over the situation.

This is unfortunately too true. I recall as young undergraduate how commonplace it was for classmates who were self-proclaimed proudly feminist men to snap back immediately on a particular woman when she ultimately rejected them—and suddenly it was an endless tirade of misogynistic caricatures spewing forth. As though…

One of the oddest class assignments I had in high school was a mass reading project. It didn’t matter what you read, your score was determined by the shear number of pages consumed. I remember thinking at the time it was so dumb, like this was missing the point of reading. But I read an unbelievable number of books…

Yes thank you. I’ve gotten heat for similar views on male OBGYNs and the bobby fingers of the world.

At least The Root doesn’t have white contributors. It also (in my opinion) kicks Jezebel’s ass from an advocacy pov.

I’m really not sure. I usually try to bump people out of the grays here, because it seems like the few male commenters I find particularly...objectionable...arein the black while some really good women commenters languish in the grays. As for the Root, I’m usually embarrassed by my fellow white people. I comment…

In the same way that I don’t want even an exceptionally qualified male OBGYN, I don’t really feel, idk if “comfortable” is the right word, but I guess it just seems a little out of place to see male writers on sites for women. As in, geared toward women and the experiences of women, but still need a man to explain…

Why not just reunite the Living Single cast? They’re probably all going to be in their 30s, that’s considered a senior citizen in Hollywood.

Written and executive produced by Insecure co-executive producer Regina Hicks, Black Don’t Crack is named after the popular urban phrase articulating the notion that African Americans’ skin does not wrinkle and ages slower than people from other ethnicities.

What is Mel, I’m a fucking Catholic, Gibson hanging out in a stem cell clinic. I thought they were all dead set against this!

I honestly don’t know how men go through life with that shit just dangling there. I honestly don’t. I feel like that would be so annoying. Watching that video with it all just flappin’ around and slapping against his thigh just looked uncomfortable.

A serious question for you commenters with male genitalia: Did he know? Like, as he’s running, his junk is clearly flapping around whether it’s in his shorts or not, but do you think he was aware that he was fully exposed to the world? I can imagine he had no idea, buuut also that he totally knew and LOVED it.

When I…

At the end of a 2:20 marathon, the brain has largely turned off, so I can see how it’s possible.

And nothing about timing made her throw in the bullshit framing of:

Ok. In her defense, as someone who has been a network anchor (radio) and is still in broadcast news in a top 10 market, she likely DID have a hard break. You’re up against automation and you absolutely must hit that break (hit that post). If you don’t, the automation will cut you off. You have to backtime your way…

Oh, well. Better to read the book than see the movie.
