That is one of the reasons I am firmly against any male in with confronting the catcaller or 'defending my honor'. I believe in many situations where a male is present and a catcaller persists, they do so fully intending to start a fight or altercation. I don't want to in anyway be a catalyst for someone I care…

I worked with a husband and wife who were scientologists a few years ago. They were very quiet about it until they had to fundraise for some special classes or seminar(?). For some reason the husband's classes were significantly more expensive than the wife's.

I can't tell if he is more of an asshole for (probably) taking his daughter to a salon as a treat or fear of styling her hair incorrectly instead of learning proper care, or if Halle is a bigger asshole for secretly collecting and sending her daughter's hair to a lab for forensic testing which came back inconclusive.

That's the weird thing about smoking and losing a loved one to cancer. One is incredibly stressful and one is often used to reduce or manage stress...

Did you ever see the episode of 30 Rock wherein a new female writer comes to the show and everyone calls her a 'slutty baby'? I feel like Grande has a weird blend of infantilism and robot/cartoon sexualization? I don't know if those words even makes sense outside of my head...

hindsight?

The shut down a few off ramps in Oakland too. Lots of fire in my sisters neighborhood. It's very scary.

Personal suffering caused rage which resulted in another non involved (and or responsible for said suffering) person experiencing personal and financial suffering.

I cannot agree more how easily certain groups are marginalized just because of age, race, or socioeconomic level, but violence and rioting DOES indeed reinforce the belief that the group in question is 'trouble' or untrustworthy.

I can't believe that at a time like this, and dealing with their profound grief his parents and family begged (to deaf ears) that violence and rioting would not help. What a selfish town.

I hope you're joking.

I am saddened by the fact that rioting was expected either way the grand jury decided. Mob mentality only causes destruction and pain.

I would think retaliation would be worse?

Didn't they just?

Have you ever had a guy make 'kissy' sounds? It's so much creepier than a stranger talking about my body or what he would do to it. It's more aggressive (to me) somehow.

I'm by no means excusing any of Cosby's actions when I say I am shocked by how many of his victims willingly or knowingly took mystery pills from him. I know some people may think this sounds like shaming or blame, but it truly is surprise and shock.

That comment resonates with me because I distinctly remember that day. I remember feeling very mature and grown up because I was walking to a friend's house (instead of getting a ride).

Bruised and scared, but luckily nothing worse. I thought he was going to kill me, I really did.

My husband had never really 'heard' someone being cat called until I was walking to his car one day. Seeing me alone as opposed to walking next to him (and the difference in the way people treat a woman by herself) was an eye opener for him.

The one time I outright asked a grown man to stop screaming at me I was slammed into a wall by my throat...I was 13.
