I hear what you’re saying, but I think you’re missing one step. We also need to comfort and support the people behind us. Whether it’s the newly questioning, identifying, coming out, or transitioning LGBTQ person, persons of color, persons of iniquity, and women, I think we have to have a kind helping hand for them.…

I don’t know anything about this as I live on the other side of the mirror (being a man type person). I do know that one of my best friends chose to put on a huge amount of weight. She was raped at the age of 13 and decided she never wanted to be attractive to another man for the rest of her days. She is an…

I just read something that said, why aren’t boys told they’re ugly without makeup?

After 32 years of dealing with various menstrual disorders, I finally got spayed in September (and why I had to suffer so long for that is telling in itself). The way the men around me reacted was disheartening. My brother, PhD, smartest person I know, when I told him about the surgery, replied, “What’s a…

I’m not sure I have any right to reply to this question, but as a guy who has been fed all the same cultural definitions of beauty (only telling me what I should want while telling you what you should want to be so that the very men who are most dangerous to you will want you more), may I offer a suggestion? Wear…

I read your articles with interest because they’re so angry and provocative that they give me that rare insight into someone who’s truly lived a different life than me. I also do it because it’s nice to read two sides of the of a somewhat extreme coin. I read the more extreme left wing viewpoints on Jezebel and what…

Agreed. Some men, especially in a pack, will keep picking at a weak spot until we get backed off. I know I’ve hurt my friends before, and learned my lesson from it. Having a little sister made me grow up to be a lot more protective of vulnerable women, but not everyone has that, or parents that give a great example of…

I don’t usually repeat replies, but this is amazing, and much needed after biting my tongue far too much over the holidays to prevent the vitriol from ruining what may be our last holiday before the world ends...
