I think maybe it was a Freudian slip because I want to hit this guy over the head with a viola.

Can you even believe I had to assert I was a woman? A foul-mouthed assertive woman....who happens to have been sexually assaulted. Just Imagine!!!

I see a handful of people claiming that the photo in question is from a porn. I'm not going to do the research to find out if that is accurate. However, I doubt that the caption is from said porn. Additionally, even if this is a porn actress, this does not automatically indicate she (or anyone else) was "asking for…

1. Since you don't know if this person is 21 or 35, I'm not sure why you would think this makes sense?

Yeah, some commenters are dismissing Gilbert as a "bully," but if I recall correctly, he was just a cocky boy who was used to everyone thinking he was charming, and all he ever did to Anne was tease her about her hair color one time! He apologized as soon as he realized that he'd stepped in it, and honestly tried to…

It seems like you're excusing this behavior from seniors in high school as a "kids will be kids" type event. If so, you need a hug. They knew it was wrong and chose to say "fuck it", plain and simple.

I would totally laugh this off, too Emma. But my personal reaction (or yours) are not the barometer by which we gauge incidents like this off of. At least I hope it's not. I have a very high tolerance for comedy, jokes, etc. personally. When something doesn't make me uncomfortable doesn't mean it's OK for me to…

This makes me happy that my village is phasing out the regular mailboxes and are installing the large ones with keys. Can be a bit a of a pain but at least you don't get non-mail stuff in your mailbox.

Agreed, the "love, but not IN LOVE" interpretation seems like an especially harsh reading of the Anne/Gilbert relationship. I've always loved it because it rang so true- that thunderclap realization that someone who you know very well and had previously overlooked, someone who is perhaps nothing like what you…

Sure, you go and find each and every one of the girls involved in this "harmless prank" and ask them how they felt about receiving a letter that told them they had to have their vaginas examined at school, and then come back and say it was harmless.

Going to the homes of girls you go to school with to deliver a letter telling them they need to report for a vaginal inspection is fucking creepy as all hell.

I'm glad you brought up the fact that Anne fantasized about men - she did invent handsome, heroic men that she dreamed would sweep her off her feet. She also invented suitors for Diana and her other friends. This doesn't exactly jive with the idea that she was vying for Diana's heart, although she is sad when Diana…

I might feel more convinced if I read the whole work by Robinson, but I have to say I really disagree with this. I don't disagree with the idea that Anne is homoromantic in that she feels romantic love for other women, just with the notion that she is not in love with Gilbert. I'm not sure how this would "label" her,…

They are really scary people. I haven't seen much of this personally, hallelujah, but I know they're out there and even in my hometown. I sincerely want to ask these assholes what they are so afraid of. Really, where is this fear coming from? And then I hope they give themselves heart attacks, but it's more likely…

These kind of men only 'like' women when the women agree with them 100% about everything. But as soon as we have a different opinion about anything? Then we're sluts, whores, bitches and any other nasty name they can think of. Because, god forbid, we should have our own opinions and use our brains to form those…

What kills me about this is that at least in the first situation, she never said they couldn't have their guns.

Isn't Omega last? Point being that being omega means you're the bottom of the totem pole?

Can we just talk about what a shitty patriarchal model of the world we live in where any person that is nurturing, kind, thoughtful, or just not a complete asshole is always immediately derided as "beta"?

That IS depressing. The the job alternatives for the writer must be fucking abominable to make staying seem like the better choice. I just assumed she was being paid reasonably well for her work/misery.
