What about “Hillary for President”? I’m sure a lot of men find it emasculating to hear it suggested that a woman should be their president. She should consider changing her stance on that issue to appeal to more men.

It’s incredibly optimistic and naive to say “don’t do this lets just focus on fixing the reasons for unwanted pregnancy and it will all be OK.”

Absolutely. I’m as pro choice as they come but I also support safe haven laws and baby boxes and I usually defend the UN but in this case I think they were irresponsible in calling for a ban on baby boxes in Europe.

Bill O’Reilly said it best after the 2012 election: The white establishment is now a minority.

Yes! The reason white heterosexual men (and some white women) like that slogan is because they think they would have been on top of the social ladder in the past. As a Hispanic woman I don’t want to make America anything like it was before. We have come so far.

The best thing is that the 2008 election showed us that we DON’T need to pander to sexist, racist white Boomers anymore. Not to the extent that they’d like us to do so.

I read an article criticizing her and one of the points was that her fashion choices were “inspired by Communist dictators.”

That's right. Keep your mouth shut and smile. Because women haven't been given that damaging advice for our entire lives. Also, somehow she is supposed to do this while appearing as a strong leader.

“she should meet his insults with a cheery silence”

Goodbye. I have perished from the stupidity of this article. I’ve loved you all.

Except this is clearly something they should do.

I had LASIK years ago, so I’m not at all phased by the idea of slicing open my lens and replacing it with an electronic implant. It sounds like a great solution to vision correction. But there would have to be an option to get a non-internet-enabled version.

I always feel survivor takes on a different meaning in terms of child abuse (as someone who has also experienced it). Typically, the abuse isn’t a one-off event, it’s something sustained over years. You become a survivor like similarly to a POW: it’s something that you’ve managed to outlive, rather than an event…

Sometimes it okay to not be okay. I wish more people could accept that.

I found this article truly and throughly thought provoking. I hated being a “victim” because my identity was taken and defined by one awful moment. Once again, he had control to define and shape me...that was my right. Survivor felt better (?) but it still seems like that should be assigned to something triumphant or…

That seems to be what the piece suggests - a “person to whom things happen.” That’s how I see myself. I am a person who has been raped. I am a person who has been stalked. I am a person who has scars from being attacked by strangers on the street. I am not a victim nor a survivor. I am a person who’s had a bunch of…

There are things you survive. There are things you get over or move past.

I got one too.
