For real! I just told my boyfriend the same thing. I’m not saying that there is an amount of money that would make me sleep with Trump (there is. It’s roughly around the amount I need to pay off my student loans). We all know he can do better than 10,000 dollars and I would have laughed in his face over that amount.

she didn’t deserve any of the hate she got. we made fun of her for being thirsty for an oscar when everyone in the industry is. why did she get singled out?

That’s not the Soup Nazi. It’s Babu, the café owner Jerry drove out of business.

Why?

My husband is an archivist and a significant part of their jobs is staving off bugs and vermin. Mostly they’re just protecting piles of paper. Keeping mice and bugs away from a hoarde of jellybeans has got to be a challenge.

Women are always ugly once they’ve told you “no.”

She should just send Kate McKinnon in her place.

Jesus Christ, I hope the bartenders get some rest before this shit cranks up.

Yes. This, this, this! I was discussing my experiences and it was amazing how many small incidences of men taking ownership over my body I have collected over the years. And how polite I had to act to get them to stop.

Something like this happened to me when I was thirteen. I was groped in an elevator by the father of a classmate. I never told anyone except for a couple of friends when I was in college. I feel people will dismiss this woman’s account because “it’s not like he raped her,” or this does not “count as assault” or maybe…

It’s not completely cut and dry to me. I guess my rules for things are that I use ‘y’all’ in place of ‘guys’ for a group of people because it’s not gender specific, I call almost everyone dude at some point because I’m a native Californian, and I try to call women I know women or in place of guy I’ll use gal…

DON’T GRAB HER BY THE ANYTHING! STOP IT. KEEP YOUR HANDS TO YOURSELF. LEAVE HER ALONE. LIKE, FUCK OFF. Seriously.

Ugh. How about everyone keeps their damn hands to themselves and stops grabbing shit. How about that?

I’d rather just have a dude grab me by the pussy and be done with it. Being grabbed by the brain sounds like it would have more long-term and possibly deadly consequences.

Elizabeth*, I cried for you. What you went through should never be termed an ‘Abortion’. That is a hard word which makes your experience so much more difficult. Your baby was very sick and you made the hard decision to ‘switch off the life support’. Just because that life support wasn’t electrical doesn’t change that.

Jia. I missed this when it came out. This is one of the best pieces of writing I have ever seen. The way you phrased your questions and comments. I am just in awe. And also crying my face off. You are a fucking amazing writer and we have been so lucky to have you.

I didn’t see this right away and I called Dr. Hern’s office to ask how I could donate money directly to the practice. I had a fifteen-minute conversation with Dr. Hern himself. In addition to being a hero, he is a very humble and cool guy.

jia, want to thank you for writing this. i am not a mom, have never been pregnant, but was moved to tears by your words and the way you spoke with elizabeth. this story is so important,and i’m glad you were the one writing this. thank you.
