Yessss. If I were in charge for a day I’d charge those harassers with whatever I goddamned felt like. Viewers of the assault? I wonder. As much as fb sucks, many social media sites including fb do a terrible job of counting hits and / or views. And the site counter certainly can’t tell whether any eyes are on the…

I think I hate the harassers more. Theoretically, a few of the Facebook live people might have scrolled past inattentively or assumed it was some kind of staged thing (I don’t know how Facebook live works). The people who are harassing her now KNOW FOR SURE that she was gang raped and they are harassing her BECAUSE…

neither did she - shouldn’t that count for something?

Meanwhile, police have relocated the girl and her family. In addition to the severe emotional and physical trauma of the attack, she’s also dealing with online harassment. WBEZ reports that Police Commander Brendan Deenihan said that people are “making fun of the victim” with “a lot of off color comments” on social…

Wow you spun that faster than Fox News. Of course Im not saying that. Who would? I’m saying sex education should be the priority.

BC fails. You can be super responsible and still end up pregnant. It is a myth that women, who regard our bodies very carefully, don’t think about prevention because we have access to abortion. Maybe ask a woman how she actually goes about life before you make stupid assumptions about how responsible we are.

I really enjoyed the show—it was so well done. However, I felt that the ending was insanely rushed. I really wanted to know more about the aftermath and the women coming together.

Even if, on the 1 in a million chance, Trump did come out for single payer healthcare, there’s ZERO chance it would make it through congress.

I think that is kinda what’s been lost on some who think this show was just about rich women with rich people issues. Abuse is abuse and abusers follow a classic pattern most times. Her leaving might have been easier financially, but that money sure as hell didn’t make it any less dangerous.

I figured he was going to find out about it, but I still felt my stomach drop with Celeste when he casually mentioned that he found out about the apartment. When she was there looking at it earlier, I was really afraid he was going to show up and kill her.

I recently read the book before I started the series and I REALLY, REALLY wish they had explored the classism of Celeste’s storyline like they did in the book.

“only a white girl could get away with this lol”

Yes, I thought of antibiotics, and Tamiflu, but unless you have an MD in your family who’s sympathetic to your worries, how are you going to get them? If I mentioned that I wanted Zpacs and Tamiflu to my doc, she’d start asking me the cocked-head, gentle-voice questions about how I’m managing my anxiety lately.

apron to throw pillow conversion?

Gun probably required for all of the Bernie supporters who no longer want to “share the wealth.”

It’s been four years and I’m still wondering why so many Average Janes thought that a book by a Corporate Jane was somehow going to empower their career. Can anyone tell me how Lean In was going to help the grocery store cashier get a fifty cent raise this year?

The amount of discussion about this book among women has…

Huh. It’s almost as if policy and patriarchy dictate this stuff and not the you-go-get-‘em determination of individual women.

As someone with social anxiety who has never got in, I find myself re-living the awkwardness and despair of thinking I should connect with other parents but being shunned over and over again, or worse, being sucked into the drama of crazy parents. As my kids started in a different school I just decided to let go. I’ll…

I don’t remember my mom being friends with the parents of any of my friends, and it didn’t even occur to me that she should be. It’s hard enough to find friends without the added pressure of aligning social circles with your child.

Ugh - I can relate to this so much. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends, I was really looking forward to having a kid and making parent friends.

But daycare parents are rude as hell and NOT friendly.

I have made one friend, and we also take the train to work together. My husband always tries to initiate plans…
