When I was a very little girl, Prince came on the scene in a clear plastic raincoat (always open), a pair of tiny black drawers (sometimes animal print), & a pair of cowboy boots that didn't match. Although many musicians look up to him, not one male musician has ever been asked to remark on his going on stage pretty…

If it was a cultural norm to poke customers in the eyeballs, it wouldn't make it any less of a dick move.

Is it normal to try to sneak extra bread onto the table so you can charge more? Because that's bullshit in any culture.

I agree. It doesn't matter why people start talking about it, what's great is that we're talking about it.

Ahhhhhh to have never heard street harassment. I'm just going to linger in this imagined heaven for a moment. :-)

People who try to hide behind free speech when others criticize their shitty, shitty pieces

Hahahahaha, he literally complained that his article "In Defense of Bill Cosby" was misconstrued as defending Bill Cosby.

then they should have reported it then — not a generation later

Great. Another moron who doesn't understand the definition of "free speech." Having the right to freedom of speech doesn't inoculate you from criticism of your free speech.

Why is it so hard to believe the literally thousands of women that talk about their experiences in videos, twitter, tumblr, blogs, ect?

...but did you guys talk about it? Surely, this could all have been avoided.

All of these problems can be avoided by discussing with your partner what's going to happen when kids come before you get married and before you're expecting. AS LONG AS BOTH PARTIES THEN ACT ACCORDINGLY AFTER THE MARRIAGE AND THE KIDS COME. I see this all the time in comments sections. Ugh. Wow, all you people who…

Someone, at some point, is going to need to be there to take care of them, but it doesn't always have to be one parent by default.

I wish I had been lucky enough to have teachers like yours.

As a teacher, all I can say is these teachers are what all of us in the profession should strive to live up to. They handled every situation you mentioned with completely professional, appropriate responses/actions. Your teacher's speech about body-shaming may not seem like much, but to those girls probably helped…

Yeah, I'm pretty much thinking your dog thinks you're the best mom ever, because...

Probably because they're too much... drama.
