There was a time post Lupita N’Yongo’s Oscar win, we’re talking weeks here, that blind gossip items were talking on and on about how she was a flash in the pan, a one hit wonder, difficult, etc. Then when The Force Awakens happened there were more blind items about how she couldn’t act, the green screen was killing…

I have a stepdaughter who I couldn’t love more if she was my own blood. She had a couple of BFs over the years who got...a stern talking to. Where they needed to be held up against a wall. Just to keep them focused, you understand. No blood was shed but not for want of desire.

They target kids whose parents aren’t around or engaged, too. And it starts as small boundary pushing, so if a parent comes to them and is like “Jane didn’t like that you hugged her after practice, please don’t do it again.” then they cross Jane off their list.

It’s gotten so that anytime I see an actress that falls into the category of “What ever happened to her?” I wonder if Harvey happened.

I literally have some that must be at least 15 yrs old, saved up just for a cyclical fashion moment like this.

A sad attempt to insert himself into a situation where he has been deemed irrelevant. South Korea is forging ahead with a diplomatic situation without the USA. As an American, I am saddened that the world now dismisses and disregards the words of our President. As a human, I am cheering them on.

At this point, this shit is expected of him. For me, it’s more astounding that the entirety of the majority party of both Houses of Congress tacitly - if not explicitly - approves of this behavior.

This tweet will be in future history textbooks. Let that sink in.

JFC, just press the “button” and end it already, Cheeto. I can’t take it anymore.

I JUST sent my first nude photo ever this week at the age of 35, to my partner of 10 years. It was totally consensual, totally my call, and overall a very fun, positive experience. But damn it if there wasn’t still a little “what if” voice going off in the back of my head. I’m not a parent and don’t presume to have…

And once again I am grateful to be an old, grumpy Gen Xer who grew up before this bullshit was everywhere.

We’re saying unsurprising because all of us adult women are experiencing the same thing... right? No way I’m the only one who has to tell people to leave me alone.

Yes, your teenage son.

When I think of how abusive my high school boyfriends were, I am so glad that I am too old to have grown up with the internet.

No. The problem is not that girls are normal young people who want relationships. That is normal for human beings. The problem isn’t that girls just need to work harder on their self esteem. The problem is THE BOYS. THE MEN. What our society is teaching them, as well as girls, about what boys and men are owed, what…

Help them get involved SO HARD in an activity. Then, they love themselves because they respect their own abilities and they have zero time for bullshit. It’s the only solution. It worked for me, and my other swimming friends, and it’s working for my daughter. She’s a pre-pro ballerina and she has does not deal with…

The meaningful way to accomplish this is to punish boys who coerce. No means no, take no for an answer, learn boundaries, respect other people’s boundaries.

My daughter is 14. Last summer her first boyfriend (and quickly an ex) asked her for nudes. Last night some kid from school (I assume) messaged her for half an hour telling her that he had a huge crush on her and then asked her what color underwear she was wearing. She has no idea who he is and I’m assuming he got her…

As a culture we need to raise our sons not to feel entitled to girl’s/women’s bodies. A lot of men know that women have been trained to tie their worth into pleasing men or their ability to keep them and take advantage of that. When you’re a teenaged girl, your need to be accepted and wanted often overrides the logic…

Pro tip: Teenage boys are scumbags. No boy/girl/man/woman/trans person should be sending any teenage boy naked pictures of themselves.
