Thanks for understanding, and yes, I am really sick of it. And for a while it became so “normal” it just became any annoyance in my life, like my period that you just expect, deal with, and move on, but I just can’t anymore. No woman should have to let a man she rejected years ago do this to her and if you don’t want…

Thanks! So far he hasn’t attempted to reach me other ways and he has been blocked for weeks. As difficult as it is not get drawn into some argument with him, the best option is to ignore him, I agree. Right before I blocked him, I said “You really don’t care if you get negative or positive attention from me, as long…

Sadly, I think most women have experienced some form of sexual assault, like some kind of groping from a stranger or someone we knew. When I first saw the definition of sexual assault in a study as including unwanted touching, I was like, “Wow, well then I’ve been sexually assaulted multiple times then, and a lot of…

Yeah. Here I am trying to write about gender bias at major pubs and offer proof. No one wants thinks it’s “proof.” This piece of shit goes to print. Whyyy, journalism, whhhyyy.

I work in media. Sadly, most publications are still run by white straight men who have every sympathy for men who look like them and went to some of the schools they went to.

I bought a floral (white with purple flowers) spring dress and it has tulle underneath and basically looks like a ‘50s housewife would wear it. I have nowhere to wear this that would make sense but that’s not going to stop me from wearing it on a dinner date this spring or some after hours work event...

OK I don’t know this woman’s age and I’m bad at guessing but assuming she’s 50 now, she’s not optimistic about how long she’s going to live. But I do appreciate her entrepreneurial spirit. I’d love to spend a good 20-30 minutes chatting with this woman about life.

I love the guy wearing the purple shirt in the background for the last video. He’s so committed.

I never said it was simple. I just think it was a strange thing for Lovato to say. If that’s the case, fine, but then stay out of it!

And YET, when BuzzFeed asked if she would work with Dr. Luke again, she wouldn’t give an answer through her spokesperson. Neither did Swift, it’s worth saying.

Yeah, this photo seems particularly bad in terms of lighting but yes it seems to have happened all at once. He went for the past three or four years still looking pretty good and lately he seems to have expanded in the face a bit. I knew it would happen someday. The age demon catches us all.

I’ve heard of some flirtation happening when straight women have been drinking, which I don’t condone, but I don’t think they actually believe anything will come of it most of the time while I think men often do think that gay women will be like “Oh yeah, I never thought of that, gimme some dick” because women’s…

We don’t know if he made one shitty comment, they thought it would stop, and then over the course of their meal he kept making them. The issue seems very cut and dry for you but it also seems to blame the women for what happened to them. I’m guessing you’re in a same-sex relationship and have experienced these things…

I don’t know about them but when I’m looking forward to something and it’s pretty much impossible to make new plans at a different restaurant, like on V-day, you hate to think anyone, especially some homophobic, sexist douchebag is going to be allowed to ruin it. I personally would feel like I was allowing this man to…

Men always assume something is missing between two women. I hate this so much.

I’m pretty sure they didn’t realize that at the time. Yes, it’s too bad and it would have been better to find out more but they were emotional and probably not thinking through how the restaurant worked. Might be confused in this setup too. This is one incident and not really what I take away from the story.

The mind changing is also thanks to the fact that men don’t have a lot of the same social consequences or fraught relationship with sex that society pushes onto women. We’re made to feel like we have to give something early on because there is pressure to have sex ASAP yet we’re considered too easy if we have sex…

Do you think he really needed to tell her this multiple times and that it’s a valuable thing to say to someone? “well” is vague. Maybe “Whoa I’ve never seen someone do X for that long etc” would be better. Either way, it’s wasting her time and interrupting her and just as obnoxious as “smile more honey.”

Sometimes sexual questions are threatening when you’re in a physically intimidating situation. Do you honestly think he was just curious? Did you read the part where the players and staff there clearly didn’t take sexual assault seriously?

It’s still common on the east coast, as I can tell when white men I’m dating realized an ex was a man of color. Most of the time they’re just a bit more subtle about their feelings. Though not always...I had a boyfriend asked if I had been tested months after I asked him the same and he never asked it of me, and he…
