If that was the worst comment to be found, I think we can say today was a good day.

This is awesome. I'm especially appreciative of the inclusion of catcalling, after getting sexually harassed at the library last night and being worried the guy was following me home.
@SisterMaryMartha: I don't like Daniel, either. But I love Kenley, even if she was a bit mean last night.
Nightingale-Bamford is the high school Gossip Girls author Cecily von Zigesar attended.
@not.a.clever.name: This is part of the problem. Given how many women in a man's life have likely been affected by sexual violence, he SHOULD think about it. He SHOULD be concerned. He SHOULD be outraged. Until good men step up and get angry at men who rape women, nothing will change.
@BritneyCanadaWhore: I agree completely. I don't understand why more men aren't outraged. I guess it's because they'd rather side with other men than with women, even if the other men are rapists.
@clevernamehere: Every time we discuss rape here someone wants to turn it into a conversation about "The poor menz, they know not what they do."
@info*ninja: UGH, I just remembered that a friend I volunteer with recently went in on a hospital call where the cops refused to take the rape kit because both the victim and the perpetrator had been drinking. So they just made the judgment call not to take the kit (not theirs to make, obviously, and yet so typical of…
@Mkp-hearts-nyc: "He wasn't that drunk, but he didn't know that I would think of what we were doing as sexual assault — because he didn't know I didn't want to have sex." But why is the assumption that women always want sex? Why is "yes" considered women's default???
@Hamsterpants: I am starting to feel totally defeated on the matter of rape... I mean, more so than usual. I'm starting to think things will never improve for women. Men don't understand what we go through and most of them don't care, and until they're on board with us against rape — and I mean fully on board, not…
@SarahMC: Dude, you're the one who was offered part of a plane ticket.
@KittenFluff: Also this response [jezebel.com] is amazing.
Wait, the person who was showing a total lack of compassion for a rape victim called Pilgrim Soul a vapid idiot?
@egg cream: I have a list of other books to grab from the library after work, so I'll add a few. Thanks!
@andBegorrah: I can't watch that at work so I'm going to assume it's the Gretchen Weiners Caesar speech from Mean Girls.
@unpopular: I'm not even going to pretend I'm not going to add that show to my DVR.
Should I read the books? I'm looking for beach reads to bring on vacation next week.
@LaComtesse: I used to watch multiple episodes of HDIL every weekend (I was drinking a lot more then and spent too much time hung over in front of the TV) and never felt that way about it. Generally, if the person has some kind of personal style aesthetic, the makeover is in line with it. The ep with the 70s-dressing…
@LaComtesse: I've heard other people say that as well, but I don't agree. The subject is brought on the show by people who truly care about her and believe she is holding herself back by clinging to unflattering clothing. Usually it has nothing to do with the clothes anyway... the other day I watched one ep where a…
@ULookinAtMyJunk is the Hate Mitigator: I think you just got Bestie yesterday, but this is hilarious and my COTD nom.
