I wish someone telling me to fix my gap was all they would say to me as a woman on the internet. A friend once posted a YouTube video of us, and the terrible, derogatory comments I got crushed me. And naturally my friend wouldn’t take those videos down for years. So consider yourself lucky if that’s all you got.

But ... guys DO say shit like that to women in public all the time. On the street, strangers have made comments ranging from my breasts to what my pussy tastes like. The ones harassing women online aren’t necessarily the same ones doing it IRL, but both exist.

I wish Elio’s parents were my parents. And oh, that I lived in Italy and spoke four languages and wasn’t me, basically.

My dad has three daughters and he’s the most misogynistic, objectifying, nasty man I know. I don’t understand why people think having daughters turns you into a less-sexist person.

I agree. I came out of that movie feeling like there’s so much suffering in the world, it was physically painful. Also - perpetual dread, the struggle to survive, chance. I’m not a “war movie” person either but stuff like that convinces me humanity is a lost cause.

All the men in these comments defending and making excuses for Allen, and his gross, predatory pedophilia makes me want to barf. The rest of us really have to make sure we protect the children (girls and boys) in our lives because you never know who is a fucking predator.

You’re right, it’s not a little thing at all! It can be such a consuming illness.

I have OCD as well, and that comment annoys me too. Or being a “little bit OCD.” Just, no! I always wonder what kind of person I’d be without OCD, but I can’t. And I’m actually a very messy person - it’s amazing how people don’t get what the illness even is. OCD fucking sucks.

I’ll come out and say I’m someone who just got on Medicaid and am not currently working. I would’ve forgone insurance completely, but my friend has been begging me to get back on antidepressants and see a therapist. The alternative is going through with my suicide plan.

I appreciate you posting this. I think about suicide and my method basically every day. I’m waiting on Medicaid to kick in because I haven’t had insurance for a few months. I know only I can help/am responsible for myself, but suicide seems so logical and not inherently bad like the Catholics would have you believe.…

Thank you for saying this. At my first job out of college, I was making under 30K and even after being promoted twice, only ever saw a top salary of 32K. I got totally and completed screwed, and it’s tiresome seeing people acting like just they did x, you can too. I was privileged enough to have parents who didn’t…

I know what you’re saying, but it’s better to have a country where corporations aren’t allowed to exploit workers. Sure, working your way up is totally fine and legit, but being taken advantage of and underpaid is not. And even though you made it, doesn’t mean everyone’s story is the same. I’ve always respected your…

I guess I don’t know enough about Margaret and her dirtbag ways, so I’ll have to do some research.

This is something I don’t understand - Armstrong was awful and yet, even after the divorce, he took photos of the Royal Family? My knowledge on this time in history is limited, but it sucks he still had access when he was such a dirtbag.

You graduated 10 years ago. Things. Are. Not. The. Same. Furthermore I’m tired of people acting like companies should get away with not paying people (esp entry level) a living wage. I have come across so many jobs it would actually cost more in transportation to get to, than the job actually pays. No one expects a…

Same! Except I’d give a dime because I really didn’t care about the pretense.  

I’m confused. The article says NY IDs only but then says the tri-state area - which is it?

Lol as if we don’t live in a globalized world and nothing any other country does will affect you...

Yep. Of course kids are being exposed to more because of the internet, and having phones all the time. Naturally there should be a balance. I don’t see why my 10 y.o niece needs an iPhone (why not just a regular cell?) but my sister also has cameras in the girl’s room, which I think is wrong.

Dude, no one said you were a genius - far from it - but the intricacies of electrocuting someone is really out of place on an article about an abuser who wanted to do just that to his pregnant wife. And shove your patronizing “dear” up your ass, you creepy sadist.
