If you look at your Facebook feed on any 9/11 you’ll see so many people making it about themselves as much as they can. From “I’ll never forget where I was...” to “A good friend of mine was...” or “I was going to fly from Boston to LA that day but...”

Is he saying his 9/11 cakes were an inside job?

Caitlyn seems to lack empathy or thoughtfulness when it comes to anyone who is not herself. How dense can she possibly be? It’s 2015 and she wants everyone to rally around her, but didn’t quite “get” gay marriage?

How can you have thoughts about being a transgendered woman for 50+ years and only now be thinking about…

I’ve been 29 for 72 years.

This! You totally nailed it. Got the GOOP icks.

Thank you. I’m tired of seeing the “ALL women experience harassment!” message. No, we don’t. I’m very unattractive and have been invisible since I can remember. I’ve never experienced anything like the author is talking about yet I’m expected to nod along in agreement. If I don’t, I’m not a “real woman’ because I…

I’m with you. I experience nonstop street harassment and I hate it. I’m all over movements like Hollaback.

I’m a woman, I used to get harassed on the street regularly (until I moved to a small town and it magically stopped). I’m also a pretty hardcore progressive and staunch feminist. But this article sounded like a humblebrag to me from the get-go. It wasn’t really the parts about harassment so much as how they fit in w/…

Yesssss.....thank you for pointing this out. I felt bad for agreeing that this is a terrible humble brag, but this is why.

My reaction exactly. Not only does this one man like it enough to put a ring on it, but all these other men want me, too!

This comes up on all articles having to do with catcalling and other such issues. #YesAllWomen always sat weird with me. Because it isn’t all women. I have never gotten catcalled. I know it’s degrading and horrible, but it really doesn’t happen to all women. I always feel weirdly left out or like I’m not actually a…

I would like to know more about the penis veil. Did it have a flesh-toned cap? Or were there like dozens of tiny jeweled penises hanging from it? I must know more.

Female here. That's all I heard in this too. MY RING. MY RING. I'M GETTING MARRIED. POOR ME. MY RING. MY RING. DID I TELL YOU I GOT A RING? SOMEONE IS MARRYING ME. HEHE. I'LL MAKE JOKES TO SEEM RELATABLE BUT REALLY LOOK AT MY RING.

I’m a woman, and in 31 years I have never been street harassed. Not once. So these articles, while I try to keep an open mind, do strike me as a bit eye-roll-worthy.

There’s a lot going on here besides that, but I will confirm and say that as a (generally well-adjusted male) I never noticed wedding or engagement rings until I started shopping for one two years ago. They’re now one of the first things I notice about someone, regardless of gender.

I love you for summing up perfectly what I was feeling, without even realizing what I was feeling. On behalf of all cat lady spinsters, Shut the fuck up, author. Please.

I got hit on by a guy at my own bachelorette party. And I was wearing a penis veil and light up “Bride” sash.

You will get some hate for this but I’m 100% with you. It’s not just the men looking parts, it’s the 100 year old diamond on platinum strands while I crush this workout and leave all the fatties in the dust vibe that’s also radiating off this.

I think it’s partly just due to people not noticing your ring. I noticed no decline in street harassment after getting engaged or married - they aren’t looking at your hand! Even guys who speak to you often don’t notice. I worked 2 weeks at a new job wearing my rings every day and many of my (male, some quite sleazy)…

This is the longest humblebrag I’ve read in a while.
