A Sense of Poise and Rationality

One of my favorite drunken memories is watching the Baby Snakes concert DVD. My group was all chatting until we suddenly realized we had completely missed the concert part and had been listening to the words “baby snakes” over and over since the DVD menu played on repeat.

As someone who is frequently harassed by obnoxious men, I have a strict policy that I respond exactly as respectfully as I was addressed. So the guy at the bar openly ogling my ass while trying to buy me a drink gets a “thanks for being so subtle; you’ll have a great view of my ass as I walk away from you, asshole!”

Little Miss Sunshine. Most underrated movie ever.

After my rape, I held it together for almost a week. I didn’t even cry when I was along; I decided to power through and pretend it had been consensual and everything was normal (I was assaulted by someone I was dating). When I did break down and tell my “friends,” no one took me seriously. The two male “friends” I

There is no bigger kick in the face than seeing (or thinking you saw) your attacker’s face. Mine lives in my (relatively small) city, and I did see him at my job more than once. I was fortunate to have supportive coworkers who tried to protect me, and now I work in a much less public place (i.e., no longer retail). I

I tried to start a list for my sorority in college. I just wanted something like a scrapbook, with pictures of creepy guys, their names, and their M.O. I hooked up with a ton of them my freshman year, and was lucky enough to have awesome RAs who basically sat me down and told me who to stay away from. One of the guys

I was married for 5 years, and knew very early on that the relationship was not fantastic, but didn’t break up due to extenuating circumstances (his dad died a month in). Had things gone differently, I would have dumped him a couple of months in. But I told myself things would get better and I just needed to love him

One of my closest friends is a sex addict. She has been married for several years, and her husband is incredibly understanding. She has a boatload of mental health issues and traumas she hasn’t worked through (she’s afraid to seek treatment, because she knows she’s fucked up and doesn’t want the confirmation/to

That sounds terrifying. If it helps, I have never had one shoot at me like a hose.

All of the above, lol! I’m a total size queen, and girth is definitely a factor. The ones I’ve been stunned by were smooth and a gorgeous shade of light pink, minimal hair, and big.

Lol! Both, actually. I’ve only seen two that I thought were really nice (out of the *cough* very few *cough* I’ve seen). But yeah, his techniques are definitely what pushed him over the edge—the other attractive one was attached to a very boring lay.

I don’t know; I did fall in love with my partner’s dick long before I fell in love with the rest of him. He is aware of this and alternately flattered and kind of sad that I just wanted him for sex for so long.

Agreed. She needs a few months away from everyone at a place where she can get clean and sober and healthy (mentally and physically). I really think a large part of her issues (obviously, mental health is a big piece, but more of a long-term goal) is the people surrounding her. No one seems to have her best interests

It’s so sad...I can’t imagine all of the therapy needed.

Oh yeah! I remember that one. It’s kind of amazing; at this point, there is an appropriate SVU episode for pretty much any scenario. I would totally buy it if the situation was based on Lohan or Amanda Bynes. Or Hayden Panittiere, based on blind items I’ve read.

She didn’t stand a chance: child star, shitty parenting, surrounded by predators. Even if Weinstein didn’t touch her, I can’t imagine that she was never sexually harassed/assaulted by anyone, given how vulnerable she was (is). I want her to get a good therapist and get clean and sober, but she hasn’t seemed interested

I think one is his niece, who he has raised since she was little and referred to as his daughter in at least one song (“Mockingbird”). My source is my incredibly guilty love of his lyrical ability and knowing all of his early albums by heart, as well as a hardcore junior high crush. What can I say, I find super

I used to have a friend that legit looked like a Ken doll, and had the brains to match. I told him all of the time, “You’re lucky you’re cute”. She knew exactly what she was saying.

Just...why?

I have worked in the service industry and retail for my entire adult life. Nearly every job I held had “that one guy”. “That one guy” who just has to touch you. “That one guy” who constantly asks why you don’t have a boyfriend when you have a body like that. “That one guy” who makes jokes about what it would be like
