I wholeheartedly agree. What the fuck are they making at this brunch that warrants a one hour wait on the bloody sidewalk?? Oh that’s right, NOTHING. It’s just mediocre waffles, omelettes you can’t make substitutions to, and way too sour lemonade.

Yes. I have come to realize that men who pay dominatrixes, are doing so to have their fantasy sex holiday, with hourly rates. Their fantasies/enactments of submission are just a spicy condiment for their unrelenting entitlement. Sigh.

If this made her feel powerful and helped with her healing, then that’s awesome but I’m troubled by the idea that a dominatrix is inherently powerful (and that male submissives are inherently safe).

When something is that ingrained within your upbringing it is very, very difficult to escape. If “just leaving” was that easy, no one would stay with abusive spouses or remain in contact with abusive parents.

I think that special is on Netflix if you ever want to watch the whole thing. I could be wrong. It’s definitely on YouTube, though!

I’m going to stop reading the rest of the comments now, you win.

That’s okay. We women don’t know what it’s like to automatically be taken seriously, either.

To me, this is offensive. I really hope you vote in November regardless. We need you. I am sure Bernie will vote for Clinton if she is the nominee (and she will for him, if he is). At the very least, think about supreme court nominees.

Neither will she ever get my vote.

You are the problem then.

As a Latina also supporting Hillary: expect nothing but contempt from white commenters here. They know what’s better for us and they are baffled that we dare to think for themselves and have reasons to vote for Hillary. How can we? They know what is better and they don't agree. We must be ignorant!

I’m black and voting for Hillary. #SorrynotSorry. I don’t find this condescending at all. Why don’t you get in government IS the right answer. I’m so tired of all these whiny people running around complaining all the politicians are in someone’s pocket or are “UNAUTHENTIC” . GO BE A POLITICIAN Then. That’s an…

But it’s California. Nobody in California is racist. Racism only happens in the South and Flyover Country?

as people use the term ‘due process’ all the time as shortcut, and not in legal sense.

Doesn’t seem that easy. Seems like she went through years of abuse and then made a very intense and painful decision to come forward with her story. But I guess difficulty is relative.

I’m so mad that white married middle-aged heterosexual men in white-collar jobs like me are now a plurality and not a majority.

...You’re fucking kidding me.

If you haven’t read Freedom, I can promise you that all the writing in there is just as bad as the sex parts. I would also like to remind/inform everyone about the plotline in that book where a middle-aged man falls in love with a younger Indian woman, and guess what her name is? Guess? What? Her? Name? Is?

Ha, yeah, the one thing that rainbow-cake comment section lacks is that one guy who feels the need to let everybody know that he couldn't be bothered to read the whole article.

We need to make this a thing, people.
