The most disappointing thing about this article was the lack of clues about the Yellow King.

This is a perfect way to put it. Thank you! Yeah, it just brings me back to that place where the whole world is being creepy and forbiddingly strange because I have breasts that I barely noticed, and I'm eleven but look sixteen to everyone, and I just want to read about ancient Egypt and dinosaurs and play chess with

When I was 16, my two best friends walked down the street after school to get our eyebrows done. Then we walked down the main road in our town to get some pizza. It was the spring, so people had their car windows down. We got a lot of comments - none of them from classmates, which would have been less creepy. All from

It's taken me a long time to figure out why I hate being catcalled in almost every scenario but I think it's a combination of factors. For many women, when wanted/unwanted male attention starts, you're pretty young – a pre-teen or teenager. At that age, I didn't understand my own sexuality or really any one elses. I

Lololololol the idea of Jezebel being "radical feminism." Go read a book, kiddo.

I'm quite happy with it the way it is, myself. Not calling attention to the attitude will just allow it to continue to spread unchecked and unopposed. If we don't call them out on it, then we just make it that much easier for them to spread their vileness.

OMG if you two hang out in Seattle, can I come too? I can just sit at the next table or run to the bar to buy your next round or play your favorite music on the jukebox.

It depends on where you play the word!

I pretend no one is reading what I write. It's a massive delusion but it's the only way I can be so honest and real. When I think about it too much, I panic. It makes me feel like I have no skin but that's also where I bring out my best writing. IT's hard.

Lindy West, with the important questions of our time. OF OUR TIME.

I like you.

I can't really answer that question because I'm not transgender. Who am I to tell trans women that they should identify as feminist when feminism has, historically, treated them so shoddily? I absolutely recognize why trans women, women of color, working class women would all say, "fuck it," to feminism and they would

HI, I LOVE YOU. CAN WE HANG OUT SOME DAY? HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ALL-CAPS?

Hi Roxane, adore your writing and have a mini crush on you. Question: I'm a New York progressive liberal bleeding heart marxist (especially Harpo) union raised Jew who now teaches young people in middle America, and my female students, who are mostly either from very rural or very urban environments don't see a use

The anti-feminist movement is deeply troubling and we're seeing a rise in such sentiments because the people who have a lot to lose when feminism succeeds are getting scared. Some people who are anti-feminist are simply working from a place of ignorance and we can, perhaps, reach them but others just hate women and

This fall I am really excited about Love Me Back by Merritt Tierce, The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami, Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham, The Unspeakable by Meghan Daum, to name a few.

It's a little of both, Erin Gloria. I started calling myself a bad feminist tongue in cheek because I'm a feminist but sometimes, not so good at it. And then I realized the label kind of worked because it allowed me to claim feminism. I also decided to own it because the term feminist has, indeed, been hurled at me

By your definition the overwhelming majority of governments (perhaps all of them?) are totalitarian. That's not what that word means in standard English.

Separtation of Chursh and State. Schooling is regulated by the State. Nuff said.

Doesn't this day feel like it's been eleventy billion hours long?
