I love Gawker but I've had to stay away the last few days. The comments can get so nasty and right now I think all of our emotions are so raw that I know I can't comment coherently. I just see red. So I'm stepping back and watching cat videos.

New unrealistic life goal: Be rich enough to flee a country.

I so love this!! Happy, happy. Thank you, I think we all needed it.

It is. Most religions are. But when you take anything out of context horrible things happen.

Me either, but, no matter how bad we have it, at least 98% of our fathers don't look at us as less than, barely worth, property. My best friend was married to a man that followed the teachings of a crazy Imam and believed she was so inferior, so nothing that he could treat her like dog shit. Of course not all…

I love her. I just do. She's awesome. However, I do not understand bathing suits and heels. I barely understand heels but man, bathing suits call for flip flops, hair in a pony and no fucks given.

Thanks for proving the validity of the yesallwomen movement. You called me a bitch for protecting my daughter, said guys looking at her ass (as if her ass is public property) is normal and that it's men's right to relive their glory days through staring at a child. Jesus.

I have a 16 year old daughter. I watch men regularly turn around to look at her backside. Fully grown men. I've gotten so fucking sick of it that I've taken to shouting, "She's 16, you fucking pervert!" These particular men don't like it but I'm trying to teach her that it's her body and they're sickos. She is…

Thank you for helping these kids. When will society learn that ostracizing anyone is just bad? The second we point out differences is the point that we lose our humanity. This just upsets me so much. We're not better by making teenagers feel bad.

A gazillion years ago my son and I participated in a focus group about Ronald McDonald. We were separated from each other and had to talk about what we liked (nothing) and what we disliked (everything). Afterwords the researcher said my boy and I had almost exactly the same answers and that she agreed with us. I'd…

My mom wanted to name me Zaundra Sunshine. Hippies. My aunt stepped in and I was named after a line in 'Puff the Magic Dragon.' Again, hippies.

I was holding my then baby boy while watching. That same baby boy just turned 20. I will always love Friends and Seinfeld - they were part of my growing up into an adult.

YES! I'm amazed at her strength because I'm pretty sure I couldn't do the same. Her quote, "Because you can't break someone that's already been broken. You can only make them stronger," had me weeping at my desk. I hope only good comes her way from now on. She's worth it.

Absolutely. They have far more grace and backbone than I ever dreamed of at that age.
