There’s a great documentary on Netflix called “The Mask I Live In” about the persistence of male aggression and crime and how a lack of positive male role models/involved fathers plus the false macho ideal of “masculinity” leads to self hatred and fear. It goes in depth on how men don’t know how to self reflect or…

Because a lot of women don’t like themselves/are insecure/desperately crave male attention (but hide that fact) so they project and lash out at other women. Had it happen soo many times in the workplace, at school, with friends etc.

Because many women want their Prince, regardless of what that actually entails or what he actually turns out to be. If things end poorly, she either should have known better or she did something wrong to turn him back into a frog. A lot of women desperately want their fantasy of a prince, and resent women who reveal…

So, if a rash of assaults were happening at local Boy Scout gatherings and someone involved in that community posted a warning signs guide for concerned parents to the Boy Scouts blog, they shouldn’t because they’re ruining peoples’ pleasant reading experience? Yes, absolutely get the authorities involved, but if…

I experienced three separate occasions of attempted rape where I had around two drinks and was far from even tipsy. 1: freshman campus mixer and the guy wanted to show me pics of his vacation. Kept trying to get me to do shots but I wasn’t used to drinking so refused. He forcefully holds my neck to try to make out…

I’ve been planning leaving since Bush was re elected, and now that I have a good amount saved I’m out. Done working hard, being a good cirizen, and paying taxes in a country that doesn't want me here. If white people had to live with the constant anxiety and targetting we experience... Over it.

The Tin Man in Pretty Woman drag.

Yeah it’s CPS’s job to investigate situations involving lack of judgement that can lead to escalated neglect, whether physical, emotional, or mental. If Huma sent a pic of herself in panties flashing cleavage to a random guy with her son next to her, I have a feeling her parental judgement and the emotional welfare of…

There’s a great episode of Louie where Louis CK gets repeatedly heckled by a rude woman and he tears into her. She gets so angry she storms out. He and his comic friends run into her outside and she doesn’t get what the problem is. He schools her on the fact that an immense amount of focus, care, love, and guts goes…

Omg, off to watch “I don’t want to fall in love” immediately. Everything about that video is why I moved to New York.

Yeah, this country has a problem with archaic shame surrounding sex as a natural part of human need. Other countries that don’t plug their ears and shut their eyes to teen sex have much better stats on teen pregnancy, happiness indexes, economic upward mobility etc. Another comparison I think of sometimes is, food is…

Yeah, that takes like 20 minutes tops. My older cousins would practice simple extensions like that on me and it’s no problem.especially if the kid is a girly dress up/let’s play beauty parlor type.

This happens to me all the time and I do scream “um, someone’s in here!” Why are you yanking at the doorknob and banging on the door repeatedly when it's clearly locked from the inside? It's almost always men too, like they think they can bully you to pee faster. But I've also definitely walked in on people who don't…

I was also born in ‘82 and agree. We were called gen Y through the ‘90s and then later lumped in with millenials . I have way less in common with those born ten years after me than ten years before. I graduated from high school in 2000 and cosighn about using phone books etc. I have friends in their early 20's and…

Duh, he can’t draw attention to all the black American women who dominated in the Olympics. Doesn’t support his misconception of black people as desperate, poverty riddled drains on society. Well at least there was adequate focus on Ryan Lochte, an entitled, yet white attractive male drain on society.

Meh, as a black woman who grew up in a predominately white small Midwestern town, I know that adult racist assholes began as child racist assholes. The bullying, icing out and name calling I endured is commonplace in the good old US of A among kids who look cute to their parents while on the playground. Things will…

Yeah, it’s the weird humble brag tone that kind of minimizes a decades long discussion amongst black women. This piece was specifically about systemic racial ignorance within cosmetic companies, not how even pale shades aren’t “perfect” matches. I get that maybe the intention is to empathize, but it kind of comes off…

I am a black woman and have never had a good experience with MAC. Very similar stories to other commenters. Nasty makeup artists who on more than one occassion ignored me completely or followed me around like I was a thief. If I had a direct question they would walk off and never come back, etc. I’m a makeup geek so…

I used to nanny for kids at that school. Fun times.

I live in NYC and know a few young trust funders, and that’s exactly what they do. I worked in a luxury fashion showroom and one of the girls who “worked” there (her parents are millionaires so she was a model and just kind of doing the job as a hobby) would jokingly whine about being broke with only $500 of her…
