That hashtag makes my eyes cross a little. I kept reading it as #NationalMakeMenDinnerDay, and I was like... is this a 300 sandwiches or engagement chicken type-thing?

I'm not convinced that "only 2% of my entire country isn't white and yet somehow we still get cat-called" constitutes anecdotal. Find me a single chick in Scotland who hasn't had one weird thing yelled at them and then, maybe then you can call it an anecdote.

1. The title of the article clearly says that white men DO NOT catcall. NONE whatsoever. So yes, my story and the other women here sharing their stories completely shatters that false notion.

I live in Europe. In Scotland. I live in a very white country in a pretty white continent. With the exception of the one boy who wanted to "lick me all over" - they're all white. Including the creepy creepy creepy old men in Italy.

Does this mean i hallucinated the experience, or your arguement is kind of bullshit?

You mentioned this in passing so I just want to pull it back out of the ether:

Women of color are vulnerable. Women of SIZE are also vulnerable (regardless of color, but especially if they are both of color AND size).

All the discussions sparked around this issue seem to focus entirely on the fact that women are…

Originally when I heard the criticism of the video I was like "I get it but at the same time, don't minimize the lived experience of the girl in the video though'. But after seeing this I really respect what these women have put together. It's hard out here for all of us. As a woman of size I get some weird, fucked up…

Given that Victoria's Secret doesn't carry bras in my size, I'm not wild about A Body for Every Body, either.

Also: If you fucking voted you could elect politicians WHO WOULD MAKE IT EASIER TO VOTE.

Where is the pandering to progressives?

Yep. The city council vote in my teeny town was decided by ONE VOTE. One. The margin between the #1 vote-getter and the #4 vote-getter (there were 4 people running for 2 seats) was 40. FORTY.

This is what happens when young people sit out elections. The Tea Party is not dead because we haven't shown up to kill it.

I told one of my employees who said he usually doesn't vote in mid-term elections that he was fired if he didn't vote. I was kidding. Mostly.

You are a beautiful, sparkly, well-informed unicorn!

12%?! 12 FUCKING PERCENT?!?!?! Fuck any of you all who didn't vote!

Here's an idea. We don't let people under the age of 25 run for the House. 30 for the Senate. 35 for president. Why the fuck would young people care about politics of we make impossible for them to get involved in the most consequential way? Try having a few 21 year olds running and see if they can't convince people…

Ok, fine, from now on, not only will I be voting every year, I will sign up to be an election judge every year, so that I can both register voters, and take the day off work on Election Day and personally congratulate people for casting a ballot.

I feel like a goddamn unicorn. I'm under 30 and I didn't just vote, I also researched all the candidates (even for the local school board) and for both ballot measures.

"37% of the people who voted were over 60."

That's reframing the conversation into the confines of the other side. If she acts the way they like and says the things they like, maybe they'll consider her point of view. The issues isn't about reliability or consideration. The issue is about public health and science. If one side frames it into an emotional "I…
