    What did I just read?

    Oh God that’s heartbreaking.

    When I was 19 a guy friend told me that his mom once said, “I’m not afraid of waitresses anymore.” I nearly died laughing because I’d never articulated, even to myself, how intimidated I was by even the slightest bit of authority. Waitresses seemed so all-powerful to my 19 year old self. It’s amazing to look back and

    Sure it would work.

    If you can’t tell the difference between a boyfriend and a creep, the boyfriend is a creep. Don’t normalize abuse simply because the abuser knows his victim. Ask her if you can help. Tell the guy to back off.

    I think asking her how you can help would be good. Or, depending on the situation, getting physically between her and the guy and escorting her away. I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary to not give the guy any attention at all. Bellowing “Get out” and pointing works. So does “walk away or I’m calling the police.”

    Franco admitted to a few different things, each of which meet the definition of assault.

    Ally Sheedy isn’t anonymous.

    I once dated a guy who asked, on our way out of his apartment to meet some friends of his I’d never met, “Are you going to wear your hair that way?”

    You don’t have a point.

    God, that’s horrible. And the number of things people fail to complain about... don’t get me started.

    Bra fittings are a racket. There, I said it. Every single time I’ve taken the dept store up on their copious offers of bra fittings I’ve been treated to ice cold fingers and microsecond glances at the measuring tape, only to find out that I’ve been wearing the correct size bra all along.

    Disneyland was weird back in the day.

    Kenton published a book about her clients’ private boobs and claims she’s sad they didn’t like it? I guess if all you’re focused on is money that blinds you to stuff like privacy, ethics, and other people’s feelings.

    And if you’re derailed, you must be “old.” Heavens to Betsy, let none of us ever become “old!”

    Yeah, it’s the “true Scottsman” argument. If she’s derailed, she isn’t a “true” Scottsman.

    Show me a smart, competent professional man who is utterly derailed by an anonymous accusation that was hastily deleted from social media and I will show you a rare spotted owl.

    WHY DID YOU REPOST THOSE PHOTOS? It’s disrespectful and a violation of the girls’ privacy. You should at least blur out any part of the girls’ bodies.

    Weren’t a lot of the Golden Globes women older and wealthy? Age and social class aren’t indications of feminism.

    I’m copying that color combo. The stockings are sublime.
