HE IS BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT AND BROODY AND THINKING AND JUST SO VERY VERY. PLEASE TAKE THIS COMMENT BACK AND APOLOGIZE

“The closeted perv has never come out as gay”

Because he very well may not be; being a child predator /= gay. Abusive sex is about power, not identity.

Agreed. And much as I like how she’s spoken up about sexism in the past, whining about how another woman got something she didn’t “because she’s prettier” alters that image a bit for me. Even if Weiner admits that’s just her insecurity speaking, the thought is now out there, and I’m sure that doesn’t feel good to…

Right? I feel like if Weiner’s post had been written with those awful faux stage directions she gives, it would have been received totally differently.

(You come over after dropping your kids off for school, and I am wearing a totally cute chunky sweater and funky clogs and you did your eye makeup this morning. I move…

I agree. I like her books but they aren't life changing or spectacular. I also like the author who was selected and this sours me on Weiner.

This. She has a very lucrative publishing contract. She has books that were turned into movies. She is doing 1,000 times better than your average writer out there, most of whom will not even get a good crack at the Kindle self-published best seller list (and like you, agree that while her books are enjoyable, they’re…

Seriously! For chrissakes the internet is not new, grown ass people-particularly professionals-should not still be making these foot in mouth judgement errors. Say it to a close friend, a partner, or a therapist. Someone who knows the green eyed monster isn’t who you are all the time. Maybe it’s just me but I’d never…

I re-read “Good in Bed” after finding it at a library book sale and I was sadly disappointed. The 22 year-old me who loved the book and couldn’t put it down was now transformed to a 30-something who found the book tiresome and heavy on the chick lit soliloquies. I realized the fluff I loved 15 years ago should have…

Wow. It is too early in the day/week to have to read that pile of garbage coming out of that woman’s mouth.

Yup. While I appreciate her confessional and have felt the same way too many times, this essay comes across as a blatant plea for sympathy and compliments. It’s the same thing my middle school students do: “This essay totally sucks, and I totally suck by extension, right? [Please tell me I’m awesome and do not suck!]”

While I admire her honesty, doesn’t she have a BFF to vent to? And wouldn’t that BFF tell her, “Maybe keep some of this shit between us, huh?”
