A Sense of Poise and Rationality

Have you ever had the “Dieter’s Tea” you buy in Asian markets? It’s in a green box with a ballerina. I bought it on a whim one day, and decided try drinking hot tea instead of wine while cooking dinner. I ended up drinking 3-4 cups over an hour or so and was pleasantly surprised by the mild taste. Everything was great

I’m right there with you. The rational side of me knows there’s no way in hell I would have “won” the case against him and would have put myself through an emotional wringer in public...the other, equally rational side, lives in constant fear that he did to someone else what he did to me. The thought that there could

Why is Bella Thorne?

While I’m not a Michael Moore fan (I consider him the liberal version of Rush Limbaugh), there’s a part of Bowling for Columbine that explains the history of the NRA and gun ownership in America, and the clear racial intent. It has always stuck with me.

I “left” my church around age 16, but it took my parents a couple years longer. I put “left” in quotes because I simply requested to work the 10-2 shift on Sundays at the radio station I worked at, so I had a legitimate excuse for not going to church. I am just not wired to have faith and was raised in the Assemblies

...I’ve always thought that the ability to “swallow him whole” was a sign of talent and something most men appreciate...am I doing it wrong?

Yeah, I wear 2 sports bras to do anything...sleeping with my boobs strapped down so hard sounds miserable!

Me, too. She speaks to the part of me that is eternally an angsty teenager, the part that will never leave me, no matter how old or “adult” I become.

They tried to get in your car?! That’s terrifying and insane.

Me, too. She was guilty pleasure until “We Are Never Getting Back Together” and I realized she is sarcastic as hell and her sense of humor means we could be besties. I can only dream of having a platform that allows me to tell the world about all of the hot guys I banged and why they weren’t worthy of me...

I can’t decide if it’s better or worse than being Sean Spicer.

My boyfriend found it endlessly amusing to randomly send me the audio of him yelling about Drake...whom I also hate. I had to think a bit about the fact that I am dating someone who not only likes DJ Khaled, but also finds those antics hilarious. If my BF was worse at steak or sex, I would have had some decisions to

So my ex-husband was a huge fan of the Transformers franchise, so I saw the movies through relationship osmosis (they were always on in the background). I cannot bleach out the scene in one of the movies in which she is weirdly bent over a motorcycle, painting it, tits and ass sticking out in a way that looked

It’s a careful calculation; I have dozens of stories of times I felt safe enough to call a guy out on his bullshit, and those are the stories I relate to my friends and family for their amusement...the times I was too scared to talk back are the ones I don’t share as much, because that’s a level of vulnerability I’m

It’s such a catch-22: if you change your routine, you’re “giving him power over you”; if you don’t, “you should have used some common sense”. It’s bullshit, and I am always pro-whatever makes you feel safe, even if it seems like overkill.

My brother and I discuss this a lot. He is a bigger guy, super sensitive, and one of the actual good guys. He ended his only relationship (2-3 years, amicable and mutual split) last summer, and is considering online dating. He mentioned to me that his strategy was to sign up on a free promotional weekend, then

The crazy part, to me, is how much of it is just instinctual. I’ve been in situations where I consciously considered my options and made a deliberate choice (be it fight, flight, or flee), but at least 75% of the time, I just react and think about it later, when I’m safe. It’s all so automatic that sometimes I don’t

This whole situation is making UnReal look like a documentary...how realistic is it, actually, in terms of producers manipulating cast/situations?

That. Is. Terrifying.

It’s really the worst. And so hard to explain to men.
