1) Don't attack people. Seriously. The only circumstances I can think of where it isn't automatically wrong is if you're defending yourself or another person from them.

"...Hirsch told police that he and Bernfeld had had a verbal disagreement."

I already commented on the audiences for these sorts of things, which is important. There is a spectrum and it seems your having trouble appreciating nuance.

How do you not feel her magic at the core of your very being?

That was in response to the film critic who just yesterday posted a long piece saying she is too "chubby" and "not conventionally attractive" to star as a romantic lead.

Dude, he's an old white guy reading a porn mag in public... Is that really the cross you want to die on?

Cosmo is for a female audience. Does it objectify women & help them see themselves through the male gaze? Yes. Do I wish it would go away? Yes. Is it the same as Playboy? No. This guy, for instance, would never be doing that with a Cosmo magazine.
If you can't see how those two things are different, I really…

Yep. I mean, I get Kara's point, but lately I've been on way too many first dates with guys who act like books contain dick poison.

Objectifying women/consuming material that objectifies women in a public place is, in my experience, not at all uncommon. And giving zero fucks about it always seems, to me, like an act of hostility. It's certainly nothing worthy of respect.

Sure it's funny and cute or whatever now but just wait until you wake up one day and they've learned to speak in complete sentences or express human emotions.

LEAVE. If you can enlist a friend to help you, even better. If not, do it when he's at work, the earlier in his shift, the better.

I've been praying non-stop for a sign from God if I myself am making a good choice on leaving my abusive boyfriend, at this very moment I'm packing my things hoping for a safe get away while he is at work, I am more scared then I've ever been, scared because I know he will come after me but also scared because I feel…

I don't know you, but I know your situation. If his jealousy and paranoia ever escalates, GET OUT. Once it begins escalating it is a very short leap to violence.

I am so happy that you got out of this relationship. Thank you for sharing your story, I wish you nothing but happiness in your future.

Amazing! Thanks for writing this. Last two paragraphs really struck a chord for me. Nothing better than the feeling when the fog finally lifts and you realize you're relaxed for the first time in years.

"You look tired" = "You look like shit"

My one co worker asks me if I got punched in the face every fucking morning because of my under eye circles.

This is a classic example of hearing "OH MY GOD ARE YOU ILL? YOU LOOK AWFUL" all day when you forget to put on eyeliner.

When I don't wear mascara people ask me if I'm dying of stage 4 cancer, so Uma, I feel yew heavy.

I LOVE IT, UMA, FOLLOW YOUR HEART, REJECT THE TYRANNY OF MASCARA.
