People say the most awful things to people with cancer. Well, they say the most awful things all the time to everyone, but you really notice it when you’re covered in scabs from chemo injections. A friend of mine looked me deeply in the eyes and asked, “What have you done to bring this into your life?” I told her I…

I’m a graduate (PhD) of an Ivy League where over 60% of the student body participates in Greek life. It was disgusting on so many levels. I had students who admitted outright that they weren’t able to study everyday because of their duties as pledges. They thought they would get more career opportunities down the line…

He seems like a good egg. And a serious fan of the Williams sisters.

All kinds of horrors. A couple of ladies who were close to the finish were so incredibly weak from hunger that they had to sit in a shower and wash EACH OTHER’S hair because they could not lift their own arms above/behind themselves.

Didn’t one of the contestants say they were coughing up blood after being made to run miles in the heat? It’s easy to get a bunch of couch potatoes to lose weight rapidly when you starve them then work them to death. This show didn’t promote health or a healthy lifestyle.

Finally, goddamn. The only shame is that it was cancelled over a dispute, and not because someone had a come-to-jesus moment and realized this entire premise is deeply fucked up.

I think this dude is an ass and this column is stupid. There is something here though. I’m the child of high school drop outs. I’m a smart girl. I wasn’t expected to go to college or have a career, but I wanted one. I still dropped out of college and frittered away most of my 20's. I worked ok jobs and still got by,…

He was my favorite character. I loved him because he was always honest (sometimes brutally) with everyone. I don’t recall him lying or pretending to do or be anything other than himself, so people would like him. Not to his dates/conquests/loves/friends/family. Which to me is just goals as a person.

No, NDAs can’t prevent someone from reporting crimes.

He is the first character I thought of when that post was written here about Netflix’s GirlBoss being cancelled and people were commenting on the difference between having a character that’s a jerk but compelling and one that’s just a flat out, unlikable jerk. Brian was generally unlikable— and yet—it was like I was al…

Yeah...it’s a lot to deal with.

I assume Jake Gyllenhaal is busy?

Or....maybe she was just a vegetarian? (I’m not but I can think of several meatless items I could order at a Mexican place and nothing I could order at an Italian sandwich shop.)

I was mad reading that because he was so on the verge of being right with his overall points, but he was so WRONG in the practical examples he gave. I’ve lived in both worlds, of the stereotypical lower class rural person and the stereotypical educated urbanite, and I can tell you that what poor or uneducated people…

I bolded the related paragraph.

That wasn’t a hijack. You wanted to make a contribution, and you should! I guess I’m too “Olde” to ‘get’ this new ‘feminism’. How I wish we women could really start helping each other out instead of waiting for males to ‘come around.’ I never married, but I’ve been with the same guy for 25 years. All I can say is that…

Yeah my husband is 49 and I am all shades of how fucking old do you have to be to get it!! And not over cheating, just acting right and contributing to the marriage, anyway sorry to hijack your comment, I am considering divorce..

The guy is what - 50? (Yeah, I went there). Some of us women get tired of waiting that long for our men to finally “get it”

Perfect excuse to post my brand new purple hair
