This guy happens to be a part of my social circle. I'm very happy and very proud that if somebody I know was going to do something that went viral... that this is what it is.

This should be hard to look at. It's awful about how boys and men being raped and abuse can be a punchline. There is nothing worse than seeing someone make a disclosure and then to see everyone else laugh in response.

I know what you're saying, but I don't think that is accurate to LW1.

I think the tide is turning, though. For instance, after that stupid Dr. Pepper 10 "it's not for women!" ad campaign resulted in absolutely dismal sales, the ad agency got their fired asses publicly handed to them. So, I'm hoping this is the death throes of a disappearing era.

I'm an attorney who works for a DV program. This exact message could have been sent by nearly all of my clients. Control (and its subsets, including jealousy, isolation, humiliation) are the overriding reality for victims and survivors of domestic violence, and they are all up there in that message. The violence is…

More, More trivia: The version of Frankenstein that most of us read is a revision that Shelley wrote in 1831. The original published version in 1817 was much more radical, and the 1831 bows to some pressure from conservatives to reign it in a bit. (I like the 1817 better).

Wow. One woman. No wonder it has been a struggle for women to gain any semblance of equality. TRIVIA: Mary Wollstonecraft was the mother of famed novelist Mary Shelley who wrote Frankenstein when she was 21 years old.

Why can't people just write songs, put them on records, and play them on stage? Is it that hard to just do that?

The world needs to read this.

This article mainly made me wish we didn't build sex up into this huge monumental THING. I wish we could treat it more like, I don't know, skiing. There are some risks you need to be aware of, some people start when they're young, other people don't try it until they're older, and there's nothing wrong with you if you…

There was also an obsession with dunkable snacks which offered no nutrition whatsoever and hooked a generation on cheez and processed sugars for life.

"It's dangerous to say to women that you can count on men to act responsibility."

I'm gonna go ahead and say that if I had gotten liposuction, my hair permanently straightened and my nose somehow elongated (I've got a piggy nose)in high school, I still wouldn't have entered college "feeling my best" because the ugliness was on the inside.

"I'm just being honest" translates directly to "I'm an asshole who thinks the entire world needs my opinion, stated as harshly and as unkindly as possible"

Wait, why are we supposed to marry people we can't count on to act responsibly ?

If I married my college boyfriend, let me tell you, I would be in a very, very, very different place right now. Shockingly, I focused on school and my career during my 20s and somehow found a husband who would marry my withered uterus at the vile age of 29, after I've established a career that has afforded us many…

With a little time and effort, this unfortunate image could have been unnoticeably fixed.

This kind of stuff reminds me of one my favorite poems by Pablo Neruda. Ah writing as art.
