I feel like a vast constituent of XoJane commenters were people who couldn’t get ungreyed on Jezebel.

We are talking about Kara Brown’s article on Jezebel not this one.

The response to that piece was really shocking to me, but I guess the commenters just proved Kara’s point about women who identify as feminists but cannot see beyond the narrow scope of their white privilege, so unwilling to listen when a woman of color speaks about her experience. It’s so fucking depressing.

This person is really calling other women bitches and twats in the name of feminism?

I don’t get it either. It’s really depressing.

Valid question

By the republicans obviously.

Like 99% of the time, I really am just pissed off at them and think they’re completely ignorant. I feel like part of their voting for him has to do with wanting acceptance from the biggots who hate them most (not GLBTQ+ republicans in general, but my uncles specifically) and right now it’s just striking me as tragic.

This is true, and for the most part I’ve just been angry and frustrated with their ignorance. I just feel like the time will come when the hatred will be so undeniable that even his most delusional supporters will have to see it.

My uncle and his husband are going to the inauguration and I am starting to feel sad and terrified for them. My uncle’s husband (also my uncle, but for the sake of clarity) designed a dress for one of Trump’s relatives. My uncles are republicans and Trump supporters. They are also gay men, and I am genuinely worried…

Hey, I am also pregnant and also in recovery from an eating disorder. I am terrified and old stuff keeps coming up. I wish I had some advice but I can’t imagine that I’m handling it any better than you are. I just want to let you know that you’re not alone.

I posted about this on an open thread a few weeks ago and was grateful for all the responses, yet I am still struggling with a debilitating insecurity about my teeth. It is a long story, but at this point in my life I’m in the process of getting three crowns and three implants, all on my front teeth. I have a…

I took a positive pregnancy test today. Actually I took three tests and they were all positive. I’ve been trying since August and I feel like I should be way happier than I am, but all the shitty circumstances of my life just make it impossible for me to experience any kind of pure joy. I guess being depressed is like…

Hey, thanks. I haven’t done CBT since my mom forced me to when I was in high school and was really deep in my ED, without ANY motivation to get better. It might be an avenue worth revisiting now that I am an adult and committed to recovery.

I am in therapy, but it really has not been helpful. I mean, I’ve been in therapy since like sixth grade and have met with dozens of therapists. I really believe in therapy and want it to work so badly, but after all these years, I still haven’t met the right one, my “therapist soul-mate” and I’m starting to think…

How do you deal with hating something about yourself that you really can’t change? For half of my life I struggled with bulimia and obsessed over losing weight because it was the one thing I could control. As a result, I have had to undergo years and years of dental work and surgeries to fix my front teeth, and even…

This is off topic and for that I apologize, but the phrase “safety of its employees” vaguely relates. My landlord has said that I have to remove the “Not My President” sign that I hung in the window from my apartment. He says that he’s concerned that people will vandalize the house. FYI I live in a predominately…

I live in a predominately latino suburb of NYC and I put a Not My President sign in the window of my living room, but it’s high up and idk if anyone can see. I want my neighbors to know that I am on their side. This week, when I saw the children walking home from school I wanted to hug them all and tell them it would…
