Well, if there’s one thing I know it’s posting a white lady getting beat up is sure to bring out the racist commenters in full force.

It’s *possible* that an animal got to her and caused some level of dismemberment. I would say it’s extremely very definitely improbable that it happened in a way that removed her head, arms, and legs.

Also, finding non-white voices to share and lift up.

They clearly stated that was only PART of their protest. It was also to protest for white rights. They were chanting slogans about white power. They’re organizations focused on white nationalism, white rights, and white power. They’re also doing nazi salutes, carrying torches and marching near a black church, and…

I hope you have equally or better luck than I did! We all deserve to have a couple lady friends.

Friendless/not a lot of friends is totally different than the type of woman who says they don’t have female friends. I know social anxiety is tough, and you’re definitely not the kinda person I was referring to originally.

But I’ve sure met a lot of white ladies that go to some spiritual healers or crystal dealers.

I overheard someone once get nasty about a black person “speaking African” and I politely said “you mean speaking French? Because they’re speaking French.” And gave a huge wide eyes innoncent smile. It felt so good.

When I moved the first time across the country I definitely ended up meeting a bunch of dudes first. But I made a strong effort to force them to introduce me to their lady friends. Guy friends are great, and i love my dudes, but I need my girls.

Right. I mean I get that sometimes it’s hard to make friends. I spent probably 3years with literally no female friends and it was so fucking awful. I was miserable. But saying “I don’t have many friends” is way different than “I don’t have female friends.” IDK maybe I’m just a judgmental ass hat.

I feel you. I spent many years in my 20's suffering through shitty friendships (of all gender varieties) before I managed to find a few good ones. My mom was (lol is) a shitty person and it made it really hard. It wasn’t until I was maybe 28 that I started to really be able to find good women, and that was probably…

I have 2 of those in my outer friend circle and I do my best to avoid them.

Yeah making adult friends is tough, I wasn’t very clear and meant the type of person who won’t have female friends because they’re drama type of person. Also definitely didn’t mean someone has to have a large collection of female friends (a la Taylor Swift) but definitely a few or even one!

I love my male friends, but my girlfriends (all 5 of them lol) are everything for me. 3 of them live thousands of miles away, but that doesn’t keep them from being my friends.

I do have to admit I’ve gotten lucky and managed to find a few female friends who ALSO share the desire to be child-free. I didn’t mean to imply that a woman isn’t good/trustworthy if all/most of her friends weren’t women, but having 2-3 good female friends is so fucking important. Even if they’re far away, your…

YES. I should’ve clarified my post because this is exactly what I was thinking when I wrote that. Oops.

Absolutely. I’ve had several cross country moves over my lifetime and making friends is tough, especially as an adult! Some of my closest friends are a thousand miles away, but just because we don’t see each other often, doesn’t mean they’re not good friends.

I’m not saying I don’t trust a woman if she doesn’t have a BUNCH of female friends; but a few is important. I have 2-3 close female friends and that’s plenty. I was more-so talking about the women who don’t have female friends and feel the need to talk about it a lot. I.e. “I don’t have girlfriends because I can’t be…

I’m honored to exist in Philadelphia with Terry Gross.

I find it hard to trust women who don’t have female friends. I would be miserable without my girlfriends. Female friendships are important for mental health.
