The book was a straight homage to the work of Studs Terkle, whose oral histories are pretty much a national treasure.

I'm not removing them — I can't, unfortunately. But I can obscure some of the comments from public view. These assholes posting porn aren't exactly normal trolls.

I think its been a very long day for all of us here. At least, it's been a very heavy troll day for me. Luckily I'm having a bit of a summer lull at my paid job. I totally understand the level of frustration you have at this porn bullshit.

No problem!

I appreciate how upsetting this is for you. I really do. It is equally upsetting for me. However, the moderators here are just volunteers and we don't get paid, so we're not necessarily here every minute of every hour. As soon as I got in from my lunch at my real job, I checked trollpatrol and took care of the porn…

Yes, he's her great-grandfather.

I already removed it. Hashtags don't work on the site — please report issues to the trollpatrol forum — www.jezebel.com/trollpatrol/forum .

You can get them at Target — they're sorta like light cotton sports bras. (I just checked the website, they call them 'crop bras'.)

I got my daughter those girly bra/tank things because she liked them better than undershirts. So those work as 'training' bras. But I was well aware of when she needed to get a real bra — it was pretty obvious. Development ages differ. I was in bras by 12, I think my daughter was a little bit later than that.

"The pro-choice movement should support a woman's right to choose and her right to privacy about it. "

"It really seems like all this pressure is mostly in the author's head, because she sees so many women coming out and feels uncomfortable that she isn't willing to do the same."

"Like Anderson Cooper once did, millions of American women live every day with a secret. I live with a secret. And like Cooper, my choice to share that secret should be mine and mine alone."

Who are these self-righteous liberals who are shaming you (her) for not wanting to speak out about abortions? No, really, who are they? While there is an effort to destigmatize the experience, liberals don't run around asking every woman they see if they've 1) had an abortion and them 2) peer pressure them about it. …

That is a really great website.

...Was that supposed to be in response to what I posted?

He just bitched about how Jezebel took him to task for making fun of a fat woman when he makes fun of everyone. I don't watch the show — I literally flipped past the channel and saw him saying it.

If we're super lucky, Jezebel will get another fabulous shout out on his show.

She did some great NPR interviews about it too, which is how I discovered the book. Well worth the download if you haven't heard them.

No. A quick glance over the site or facebook comments makes it pretty obvious its not satire.

I can not recall where I read this — it was an interview, possibly in Rolling Stone — he discussed his attraction to men as situational, not inclinational. That is, he was open to affairs with men as a result of the time and his own personality as a young man/rock star/taboo breaker, not that he is regularly attracted…
