Was thinking of you and wondering how things are going. Hope things are better.

Some of these I really struggle to believe... Like, how can Lebanon be so much bigger than the rest of the middle East?? And Equador?

Thank you! I’d rather not as it is quite specific and I think I may doxx myself but I do appreciate the thought and kindness.

Well done!!! This is definitely a success in itself! Rooting for you

Thank you very much for your kind words. I have been getting traction but nothing quite works out, which has made me quite tired and demoralised. Good luck to you!

I’m not normally someone that feels that other people’s happiness detracts from mine, but tonight really made me realise how far away I am from where I’d like to be / my peers right now and that I don’t know what to do to get my life back on track.

I’m feeling a bit down. I’m in a bad place financially and professionally: I was forced to leave my job and despite my best efforts I am haven’t been able to find anything else. I’m staying with extremely generous friends but I am starting to feel bad about taking advantage of their generosity. I spent time with some…

I can see your point. Either way it must be really hard.

I would probably think the opposite! At least he’s not a sad cliche with little respect for women’s intellects.

I miss the writing and the interactions, but not so much the cliquey commenters! It is impossible for me to post enough to ever get ungreyed, so at times I don’t even bother...

Of course there are a lot of comments on the vaginas themselves.. Just think of labioplasty, vaginal rejuvenation etc. And this is without covering all the ingrained cultural ideas that they are smelly and dirty (douching, scents etc). Also, of the uniform porn look.

I only agree partially - true, dolphin penis dude can’t do much about it but women are constantly told that their privates are ugly and dirty (hence the waxing, douching, bleaching, etc). I don’t think men are pen(al)ised.

iI am not a “real mover and shaker” but I have a reasonably high-powered job. I often don’t comment on articles I read here because I know I do not have enough free time to comment enough on this site to become ungreyed and known as a commenter. I actually do not like this part of kinja, it feels a bit like highschool…

This is very interesting: I have been reading Jezebel for 10 years or so but have rarely commented regularly, partly because of the time commitment it requires which isn’t compatible with my demanding job (I have been on holiday now so I have posted a lot more) but also because I was VERY turned off by some of the…

I LOVE LOVE Instagram. I use it like a magazine that I curate myself. I follow things I am interested in more than people I know. I don’t do twitter and am almost not using FB anymore (to the point that it is acting like a desperate ex that wants to be taken back with notifications and emails)..

Absolutely. I often got asked if I was Welsh when I was dating my (Welsh and Welsh language speaking) then-boyfriend.

How do you explain bikini waxing and vajazzling then?

I do hope you are right! My observation of care facilities (admittedly for the elderly) are that staff is focussed on tasks as they are spread very thin and that more serious issues need to be raised by family, if there is any. And this is at a top notch facility, with 24h medical and nursing staff. They firefight.

Because he doesn’t think he’s REALLY done anything that wrong and thinks it is unfair he can’t perform

Ohhh I didn’t even think about this possibility...
