River, Carey, This Flight Tonight, A CASE OF YOU! Basically anything on Blue. And Chelsea Morning.

Really? You think the network that brought us Tosh.0 would monitor this. Hell, they would love this to "blow-up" because they'd love the publicity.

I have had them request to search my headwrap. I refused because I'm not taking it off for religious reasons along with the right to not undress publicly. When I said to TSA "Wouldn't a concealed weapon/item appear in the scanner I just walked through?" they refused to answer me and went an got a supervisor whom I…

Cue the "but i am white and i had my hair searched" and people missing the point that the TSA screening process is based on racial profiling (many reports have stated that).

It is not a fun club to belong to.

I see this as I'm working through several chronic illnesses. " Isn't it just cramps? It's probably not that bad, Maybe you're just too sensitive to this? You need to focus on other things." Nope. My body is fighting me every step of the way, actually attacking itself.

My mom does this. I am a veterinarian. I have a license and a degree in Latin and everything. Someone told her that my niece could get AIDS from her babysitter's FIV positive cat. I told her this was bullshit. She did not believe me. My BIL, who is a contractor and allergic to animals, told her it couldn't happen,…

The sexual assault part of this really gets to me. My cousin was sexually abused by our grandfather for years. She didn't realize exactly what was going on, only that it was painful and wrong, until she saw an episode of Oprah when she was eleven years old where they were talking about child molestation and rape. She…

I think it starts very early. I work with a truly lovely guy in his mid-20s. We get along famously, except that he has a horrible habit of repeating my ideas and comment as if they were his own.

It shows how insidious the message men are getting really is, that I have this problem all the time with my dad. I'd still describe him as being a feminist, but there's definitely a bit of a gendered divide in the labor in my parents' house, and he still does things like ignore me when I talk about having problems…

Ha, ha ha, haaaa. Try being a female scientist half way to a Ph.D in plant genetics, trapped in a conversation about GMOs at a party with some white guy with dreads. The layers of insult and irony in this scenario, which is somehow a fixture of my life....

I am so sorry that you aren't supported as you should be. I wish I could give you a hug. Not being believed, or to have your trauma diminished, is the worst thing.

If your husband or boyfriend blithely dismisses your opinions, he shouldn't be your husband. He should be your ex husband or ex boyfriend.

Jezebel, Jezebel. What have you done to me?

My brother is a serial fuck-up. He just cannot get his emotional shit together. he has a good job (somehow) but is in a loveless/abusive marriage and is an alcoholic. Despite this, members of my family consistently believe his narrative of our childhood over mine simply because he is male. He physically abused me…

Women are ignored and talked down to? Nonsense, you're just being hysterical!

...to the fact that it took a football team's worth of women to make some men even entertain the idea that Bill Cosby could be guilty of serial rape.

Yeah. I'd say the fact that she didn't actually burn the Koran is the least important fact of this story.

To me it makes no difference. It is ignorant to kill people for burning a book. Headline should be "Woman Killed For Ignorant and Insane Reason"

It is. Cincinnati chili was invented by Macedonian immigrants, so this chili has cinnamon and allspice in it. It's rather different than "normal" chili. What's pictured is a 4-way. Remove the onions, it's a 3-way. Add beans, it's a 5-way.
