This is a really good post.

Nicely worded and I’m sorry you had to go through this at such an early age.

As a guy (Jezebel articles pop up on my phone sometimes), this particular comment incidentally made me start understanding these Hollywood victims a little better, admittedly (a lot of times the comments on Jezebel inspire me to just tune out, unfortunately, because I am a little thick headed, I think). But I do want…

Your college friends were lucky not to have gone through the ordeal you went through. They must have seemed appallingly heedless to you.

Thank you for sharing your story and I’m very sorry you’ve been through this. I will recommend the book The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker - he was on Oprah years ago and this book is so helpful and I think will validate the way you and a lot of us go through life having seen the worst of humanity early in life.

I am so grateful for your comment. It puts a lot into context.

Wow, was the Church Camp entirely poorly supervised? It sounds like it was run by the counselors from a Jason movie.

I know she said at some point in the same interview that she’d never experienced this behavior herself but I don’t believe her for a second. Considering some of…

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.

I have to be honest, and I’m sure I’ll receive flack for it, but I get what she’s saying. Yes, women should be able to walk into a business meeting (regardless of the unusual setting that it’s taking place in) and be safe.

I truly appreciate and respect how committed you are to this bit, Kate.

I thought I hated the invisibility. Now that I’m losing weight I want it back. I’d rather be invisible (and healthy and fit) than feel like I do now: which is like an object and a toy.
