Thank you. This is very validating.

Thank you. I wanted to respond to that but didn’t feel I could without being called a hysterical over-dramatic “borderline.” A borderline. Like that is a label people go by. smh.

Brook wrote about one experience with a specific individual. You made a general statement about ALL people with multiple differing conditions. I’m sorry you can’t see the difference, but my criticism of your comment is not a criticism of her article, which I enjoyed.

I mean “hope I don’t offend anyone” doesn’t really mean much when you then go on to characterize all people with several different disorders as impossible to have lasting healthy friendships with. Making sweeping generalizations about people who share a single trait in common is the definition of prejudice. That’s…

This is prejudiced and untrue. You should re-examine your attitudes about mental illness. Also, maybe consider the fact that people with those disorders use the internet too, and are likely to see comments like this and feel even more deflated and hopeless than they already do.

Her Celine is so perfect. I wouldn’t know the difference if wasn’t watching.

I don’t know what comments you are specifically referring to, but if an EXACT EQUIVALENT situation occurred wherein Bernie Sanders made dishonest comments about “the ghetto” in a media format that skewed heavily white the way cable news skews heavily older and more conservative, and then turned around an gave a…

I do not believe it was an-off-the-cuff slip of tongue. Hilary Clinton was active in politics during the AIDS crisis and Reagan administration, and when her husband became president they had to directly contend with Reagan’s legacy of failure on HIV/AIDS. She is also an incredibly eloquent, experienced public speaker,…

I wasn’t quarreling with the brevity of her statement. I have a problem with the apology being confined to one platform that only reaches a specific demographic. It is a valid concern, and I’m not going avoid pointing it out because “everyone picks on Hilary” or something. She’s a big girl. Her campaign can handle…

How convenient the retraction is on twitter where all the young people will see it, and older voters will miss it. Call me when she does an apology tour on the major cable news networks.

Her age and past experience have also created significant blind spots in evaluating what is important to millennial women. Same with Gloria “where the boys are” Steinem and many other second wave feminists. There comes a point in time in any movement to pass the torch and listen to young blood.

THIS. The whole article is a veiled tantrum about 25 year old women not being interested in them anymore. If they cared so much about having a family they could marry a woman their age, take all the money they earned focusing on career, and use alternative avenues for creating a family

Don't answer if this is too personal, but how often are you in contact with her, and are you happy with that amount of contact? I have a really similar situation and for the past two years I have been significantly decreasing the amount of contact I have with my mother, and it has greatly improved my mental health and…
