Well, the other side of it is not praising a child’s beauty as the default expression of praise/support/interest/encouragement. That kind of thing just reinforces—to girls especially—that physical looks are of primary importance. So like, sure, tell kids they’re beautiful, but let’s also be cautious not to…

Really? What about my husband who travels as much as he is home and frequently has dinners or drinks with single women co-workers?

That’s one thing dating long distance teaches you; your partner will definitely be hanging out with people of the same gender when you’re not there, and so will you, and that’s just the way it is.

What? How is a retracted and factually incorrect story about an alleged rape GOOD for raising awareness about rape culture?

If anything, it’s extremely harmful, because it creates doubt about an accusation, which is arguably the biggest reason “rape culture” exists in the first place. Your logic here is very flawed.

Opi…

Her twitter account has been silent since last November.

The yelling is beyond what she should have done because it edges into harassment, which is illegal, but I think following and filming him is kind of an ideal response because it is legal. As you said.

So she responded to what amounts to sexual assault with stalking and harassment...

Do I just live in a weirdly progressive area? I don’t need to get off to enjoy sex, but I find most of the dudes I’ve hooked up with enjoy it more if I do get off, even if they don’t, and seem to work more towards that then their own orgasm. In fact, the last couple of guys I’ve tried hooking up with were more…

But thanks for telling me how I must feel about something. Seriously, how would I have survived without that? You must be a mind reader.

Because that’s what she did. I don’t think it’s shameful to phrase it that way, either. If I was as confident as she is, I may do it too.

I admire her for taking a stand on women and our right to enjoy our sexuality, but telling viewers how she rose to fame is part of the story - just like acknowledging the only reason the Kardashians became a household name is because Kim spread her legs on camera (not that I have a problem with her making a sex tape…

Yes, different cultures have different standards...and a perfect world, the conference would have offered free childcare to attendees.

A.) That’s an incorrect usage of a word, but you obviously don’t care so whatever. B.) It’s not that it’s too stressful. I just believe one can better themselves without being entitled. Assuming an all women’s conference will cater to you just because you decided you wanted to be a mother is entitled. She could have…

The opening sentence of your second paragraph answers your first question.

I’ll be exactly the same way. Why? Because having a child means sacrificing certain things. Along with possibly giving up last minute professional functions if I can’t find proper childcare arrangements, I may also have to give up concerts or last minute after hour drinks full of networking opportunities, lunch with…

Aw, sweetie - please don’t reproduce. I will pay for your birth control. Not only are you incapable of reading comprehension, you are sure to pass that entitlement attitude to your kids. Do us all a favor and just say no.

Yeah, you know, I don’t talk during a movie and silence my phone out of respect for the other people who paid to be there, even if it’s only for a second, which seems to your definition of everything be ok. It’s really too bad you don’t have the same kind of respect. If I want to run my mouth during Mad Max, I go to a…

It’s not about handling 20-40 seconds of distraction, it’s about so many mothers thinking they are entitled to bring their “perfect” kids whever they chose without consideration to others. Kids are kids. You can’t expect them to reasonable sit still without getting fussy or restless for 12 hours straight. Is one a…

No - it’s about understanding actions have reactions. My CHOICE to have a baby shouldn’t make me entitled to bring the baby wherever I chose. I understand this choice will come with consquences like having to occasionally turn down amazing career opportunities such as last minute invites to attend or speak at industry…

It’s not about keeping child out of society, it’s about keeping them in the appropriate environment. As a professional and expectant mother, I would be highly annoyed if I were paying money to be at a conference (or asked to speak!) where children where a distraction. Asking a baby (or toddler) to sit still and be…
