exactly. I don't feel bad for these two. The victim will live in a prison of sorts until she can integrate what happened into herself enough to move forward. They should live in a prison, too. The thing is that when someone goes to jail, their life really is ruined in a lot of ways. Prison is a terrible place no…

I was assaulted in a manner very similar to the way the victim in the Steubenville case was assaulted back in 2008. One of the reasons I didn't report the crime was that I didn't want the perpetrator's life to be "ruined" for something that, in my mind (at the time) was only five minutes out of my life. These kids…

Thank you so much for publishing this today. I wasn't going to read her book - have a little overload of women COs lately - but now I definitely will. I'm an attorney, and a good one. At the last firm I worked for, I really just tried to keep my mouth shut and make sure people liked me. Didn't work out so well. …

Lindy how can you possibly be OK with goop but hate the f*ck out of Weight Watchers?? I just don't get it.

If I saw you on the street, I would just kiss you. After getting your consent, of course.

Haha! I was the first director in 2002! Such a shame that the new administration toed the line on the production. It did a lot of good for the YWCA shelter and SOS (SA victim advocates) in South Bend.

AWESOMENESS. Good for you.

ummmm doesn't the Affordable Care Act now require all health insurers that provide prescription coverage to cover all types of birth control when your policy renews in 2013? You should check that out. Call your congressman or senator's office, I'd say.

I am a lover of the V-Monologues and directed/performed them in college. At Notre Dame, no less. We had a LOT of discussions about this so here's my take.... Eve compiled the VMs from real women's stories. They're not there to make a commentary on what's right or correct or morally acceptable for every person, but…

No... the argument is that if you teach men from birth that they are not entitled to sex and that women are entitled to say no, they will not grow into men who believe they can rape. That's the argument.

It's funny because I would argue that bullying comes from the same nugget of brokenness (in the offender) as does rape. It's about asserting power over someone in a demeaning, dehumanizing way. And for whatever reason, we have a real problem identifying the dehumanization of others as something that has to be taught…

YES.

Newsflash: the VAST majority of rapists are men. And rape is usually committed by someone the victim knows and trusts, not some nameless, faceless stranger in an alley (as the interviewee also stated). When you have men trusted by women committing a crime like rape against them, it's not about sex it's about power. …

it seems kinda messed up that your friends are being so negative about your weight loss. A better strategy would be just to pat you on the back and say "good job."

Or, any dude for that matter. Perhaps I should be careful not to discriminate based on socio-economic status in my revulsion.

WTF???? Yeah, your homeless men win. Although one did once invite me back to his dumpster behind an Au Bon Pain and another asked me "why [my] bottom half look like that?" Still, I think both of those interactions were probably meant to be complimentary regardless of how revolting they were. Where does a homeless…

Once when I was walking to a date a homeless man screamed at me from across the street "girl I LOVE yo' THICK thighs!" and did a little shimmy-shake. It took all my willpower now to start crying and run home rather than go on the date. Needless to say, there was no second date as a girl who's just received…

I feel a burnination coming on...

and what "help", pray tell, was Taylor looking for from Poehler and Fey? Look, TS has a habit of getting involved in tumultuous relationships that end spectacularly, leading to multi-billion dollar pop lyrics. She's in need of no help, IMHO. She needs to take a hint from Poehler and Fey and realize that humility,…

For realsies!!!
