seriously. You're doing a good thing. You shouldn't feel bad about marrying someone you love. There's no reason to feel bad about falling in love. There's no need to feel absolved of anything because you did nothing wrong. Is someone making you feel bad? Because they're assholes

I think your point that some generic profiles lead to lovely humans is good. Not everyone knows how to magnificently capture all the nuances of themselves in a profile. Not because they're stupid, but they just don't. It's hard even if you are into writing or something creative like that they may lend itself to the…

Jezzies, as a cisdude I conquered a fear today and bought skirts!

So, I am a daily lurker on here and have been waiting for Saturday Night Social to kind of put out the desire for some feels. So here goes.

I owned Dream's first (only?) album. I remember every word.

I find it very bizarre that many of you, who are capable of understanding that socialization, media, commentary, images, etc. influence sexism, racism, rape culture, etc. etc., are unable to make the EXACT SAME connections here.

Yeah, I used to be drawn to some really dark, sombre stuff. I also was depressed. I'm pretty sure the depression came first but after a while it became a question of the chicken and the egg. I think that the images and stories we consume absolutely influence our mindsets. That's one of the major tenets of the "power…

You're kidding yourself if you don't think the parent's interests heavily influenced these children's minds.

Yeah, because there's absolutely NO adversity involved when you find out your "father" raped your mother or that your mother was raped. Is it the main "adversity?" No, because it was the mother who was raped, but it's not exactly easy living knowing your mom was raped and you were born of it

The forest....trees and all that.

She has a great body. She's not too thin, she looks healthy, she has a great ass, etc... there are lots of reasons. Why the fuck do you care if a bunch of people on here talk about how she has a great figure? What might be a "great body" to them might not be the same definition as yours. Why do you feel the need for…

"But the "man dressed in black dragged me into an alley" narrative is rarely how rape looks. "

Thank you. All of the comments on here are heartbreaking. She is telling her story, not everyone else's. She is using her story and her mother's story to get a discussion going. Thus, she is doing a good job because, whoa, is a discussion going on here. However, what's said and thought on Jezebel isn't exactly…

What the fuck is wrong with you people? She has opened her heart to the public and told what may have been a deep, dark secret to the nation. Can't we just take the win and not fucking critique it because we haven't read a full quote that included "and also" or "caveat"?

Well said, KikaMarie. Jesus Christ the comments here are...sometimes borderline insane. I'm just...my jaw is on the floor. Reason is not allowed apparently at Jezebel, in the Comments section. Either be on board with 90% of the posters or you're a rapist or rape apologist. Wow. Just..wow.

FEMINIST AS FUCK!

She is lucky her dad was such a sexy rapist

Safer sex.

Somewhat related (and insomnia is a bitch): Ages ago I was studying Italian and a native English-speaker in my class was bothered by the fact that in Italian, the gender of the possessive determiner depended on the subject ("sua tavola" because tavola is feminine). He said something along the lines of: "But how will…

Really glad to see an open referral to something our society forbids... that takes courage. Thanks.
