I am so sorry this happened to you. And I’m very sad that the women you chose to share this experience with had no guidance for you, and effectively shamed you instead. No one deserves that kind of BS and crazy-making. I wish we could all get a first-rate education in healthy boundaries from day one. Instead we…

What lead to Trump’s winning was the dark pull of misogyny and racism. Trump wasn’t overconfident and entitled? Don’t blame Hillary for this sh*t. “Primarily.”

I met Fred Willard at a benefit when I was in college. He couldn’t have been nicer! My boyfriend and I gushed about this scene and he was very friendly, gracious, and funny.
