THIS is what the article should have been. Instead, it was a click-bait, overly dramatic tirade that did nothing to address the situation. In this day and age, it’s going to be commonplace for these types of issues to pop up. The above comment is a very intelligent, helpful and clearly stated commentary about the…

Agree. My husband is an infectious disease physician. The IDSA suggests all sexually active people get tested for HIV every year.

Did you miss this paragraph?

It feels like you met media superficiality with even worse media superficiality. There are real reasons to have reservations about him. The reason i have contemplated is a comparison to why Carter was elected and how that turned out. I love Pete. But i wonder if i would love him as much if we didn’t have such a…

You’re a monster! 

To my shame, my friends and I did something similar to this in middle school (early 00's). A few years into high school, one of the girls told me that she knew about it and that it hurt her deeply. I remember feeling just absolutely awful about it (surely not as bad as it probably made her feel as a 13-14 year old…

Gwyneth’s ongoing midlife crisis has gotten very tiresome.

Oh, I’ve been there. So we got a male marriage counselor. Who ripped into the hubs about six sessions in. Soooo much smug I was feeling!

It’s SO HARD to discuss consent and alcohol because there’s barely a wisp, let alone a line between that discussion and blaming the victim/letting the aggressor off the hook, like the Stanford case.

Also, didn’t you hear about that woman who killed a man that one time? It totally happens both ways so it can’t be sexist.

On top of that, there was the guy in South Korea who stabbed a woman because he said women ignored him. He waited 40 minutes for a woman to show up in the restroom and then stabbed her to death. Incidentally, he didn’t bother wearing a dress to hide in there. It’s almost like you wouldn’t need to.

Imagine the literal PTSD for those of us diagnosed and treated with breast cancer. I was diagnosed at 32. I loathe October. I started chemo in October, still with healing incisions from a mastectomy. I loathe having to face a zillion people that want to tell me about awareness.
