Good for you! I fully support naming and shaming. Groping and sexual assault thrive in the dark.

I was “that woman” who loudly called out that guy in the middle of our workplace for doing that exact same move, after I had told him in a low voice to get his hands off and away. Guess whose female coworkers shamed them for making a scene? I only wish he had gotten fired - which he did, for harrassing phone…
I, and probably just about every woman I know, have all received a "hug" like that at some point, and I'll say once more for the folks in the back: That's not a hug, my dude.
Watching that clip lastnight made me ENRAGED. All women have been there. We've all experienced groping in a public place. We've all tried to ignore it because we didn't want to be "that woman" who called out the dude in front of everybody, ruining the vibe. We have all been there. He's a piece of shit.
He was visibly digging in while she kept trying to pull away. He knew.
I fucking love bikinis. I’m 48, short, fat and 100% do not care. I bought my first true bikini this year and I’m never going back. Absolutely the most comfortable swimwear ever, and I look bomb in it. I’ve finally embraced that I’m not being anything (including fat) at people, so if someone doesn’t like it, not my…
Another tall, long torso’d fat girl here. I’ve been wearing tankinis since I was like 12. All these years I’ve wondered why companies always pick the UGLIEST patterns for tankinis? SO MUCH PAISLEY. We’ve got cute one pieces, why is it so hard to use the same fabric cut in half?
I’m here for this common sense.
Those tankinis are super-cute, but using the word “slutty” to refer to women’s clothing is not.
A 14 month old is basically still a baby. My son is almost four and my daughter is six and I cannot imagine the pain that I would feel or the terror they would feel at being separated from me in a foreign country. This is mind-bogglingly wrong.
I’m not sure I buy that he avoided STDs in the 80s. Chronic syphilis has a mental health component, by which I mean sufferers generally end up insane.
I forget whose account I was reading, but one politician mentioned after visiting one of the camps that they had questioned one of the guards about how they sleep at night, and the guard looked down and didn’t respond. Some of them are rightly ashamed of themselves, but still following orders.
85 days.
My son’s 14 months old....I just..........it’s all just too fucking much sometimes.
Yeah, if Jez is ending, please just pull the band-aid off now and let us know. This slow trickle of goodbyes is sad, but I feel like it is just slow playing some bigger bad news. I promise if you tell me its over I’ll still read all the goodbyes anyway.
For the staffers who are getting a good buyout and who will land far better jobs, this must feel like something good finally happened this year. To those of us who use Jezebel and these wonderful writers as the only thing getting us through each day since 11/9/16, all these departures are just yet another reason to…
Yes.
Can sweet Bobby get slightly more screen time? Guy is HUSTLING behind the scenes while the other four get prime time with the participant they’re working on. Bobby is underrated.
I get that distilling a long-winded celebrity sililoquoy into a punchy version of its base message is a pretty witty way of exposing the underlying absurdity or hypocrisy of the statement, but where it’s just a fairly straightforward and facially earnest apology, it just comes across as “I don’t like X, so I’m going…
I am deeply familiar with that feeling of futility you describe. And I’ll carry on the meat eating thought experiment because I have the exact same struggle. I don’t think there’s a simple answer. I make sustainable choices when I can, and make vegetarian choices when it works for me. I understand I’m no hero and…
