I’m feeling an unexpected but nearly cosmic sense of wonder that feminism might actually have a chance. And I have absolutely no problem with it going down exactly like this.

Wait, Natalie Portman isn’t her name? Not to minimize that you are pointing out, I just honestly didn’t know.

All of this, and also: if the only remedy available to you after an awful violation is money, then is it reasonable to accept money rather than get nothing? Yes/no—either answer is valid. People sue for “pain and suffering” all the time, and that’s the premise.

It’s such a frustrating accusation, which all survivors of sexual assault face, that they are coming forward “for the money.” First of all, you don’t have to be a victim yourself to observe how terribly victims are treated when they go publicly. Secondly, even if they were coming forward “for the money,” so what? That…

If it’s not a good fit for you, it’s not a “great job”. Don’t worry about finding something that better suits you even if you do take a pay cut. Your health and happiness is worth everything.

I went from a $90k/yr firm job to a $52k/yr non-profit job, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I’ve been able to go off anti-anxiety meds, and I cry a LOT less now.

I’ve realized while in a supposedly great job that I hated the work. I’m still in the field/discipline that I’ve loved since I was in high school, but I work kind of adjacent to it and really love what I’m doing.

Watching both “Interstellar” and “Gravity” made me queazy to my stomach. I have no fucking desire to get out their in space and see the earth. I am all cool on terra firma. Thanks.

Everyone is entitled to a chance I guess

I like Pink a lot. I think she’s brave and tough and unabashedly herself. I just wish she’d realize that other women’s unabashed selves look different than hers, and that should be celebrated too.

Well, it’s certainly the first Olympic sport for which the preferred footwear is 6" heels. Now sporting goods stores can legitimately sell “come-fuck-me-pumps” and say they’re sports shoes.

He needs to be impeached, regardless of how awful Pence is. We need to send the message that his actions are not OK. We need to show Russia that we WILL uncover their bullshit and remove their favored candidates. We need to show that we will not tolerate a racist, idiotic prick in the highest office. We need to show…

Truth. I wouldn’t even put it past Trump to go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

I’m sorry those stories are yours. I have similar stories. Being assaulted by a Navy doctor during my gyno exam when I was 17, random men grabbing my breasts on the streets, crotch grabs by hockey players at a frat party, almost being gang raped at another frat party, fondled by a coworker on the stairway, leered at…

Mr. Werner is a smart man. I can’t stand watching him, because he, like Jimmy Fallon is about making themselves the star instead of highlighting the talents of others. I can tolerate their monologues because they have good writers, but when it comes to having to share the spotlight, neither of them can handle it.

Not gonna lie, I missed her. Anything to remind me of the good ol days of gawker.

Believe one another.

500 days of Ivanka??

When you are purposely trying to get pregnant, seeing other folks get pregnant without trying fucks with your head. Because purposely getting pregnant can take some work. You take fertility tests everyday to see when the optimal time to fuck is, you have to purposely reduce your anxiety levels and that just reminds…

I came here to say that this child is being emotionally abused and financially and sexually exploited and there should be criminal legal consequences for the adults involved. I’m not scandalized. I’m not shocked. Female children have been used this way since the invention of property. But let’s look beyond the veneer…
