Wow. Cool story, bro'd by a Jezebel author. My life is complete.

I'm a woman and I've watched my mother go through it for 13 years. I contemplated running away or suicide at some points and refused because I wouldn't be able to protect her or my little sister from my stepfather. I've been there for good times and bad, and it's helpful that he's now on enough medication to kill a…

Thank you for this very articulate and needed comment here. I think I'm older than the average Jezebel reader, and I find myself bewildered by what is defined as feminism by the majority here. I'm happy to know somebody else has heard of Andrea Dworkin. I would like to see sex work decriminalized, but I will never…

Well thank you for the question. Not to split hairs beyond what you've asked, but first there is a distinction for me between disapproving and condescending... as you might deduce I am very invested in animal issues, and bitterly opposed to hunting. So I disapprove – quite extremely – of hunting, but I don't feel…

It was the years I spent in Florida(zed), oddly enough, that so radicalised me...

We need more voices like yours on these pages. Bravo!

Please re-read, or, I guess, read, what I said before introducing what is essentially a non-sequitur and an ad hominem attack. There is no condescension directed toward women in pornography or sex workers in general. You are projecting that.

And, with porn, everything is on my terms. I can say no whenever I want to. I can do what I want to, I can do what I don't want to. I'm in control..

IDK, I get very emotional about OS updates, but then I'm a PC person. Dunno how those Apple freaks think. Whether one defines it as pushing or giving, I don't like someone making a choice for me like that. I'm a fairly meek person but part of me inherited my mom's stubbornness and if you try to make me take anything,…

Um, yeah, you are. Because as someone else just pointed out, you are inventing facts - that she "snapped" (despite her crime having taken place over a long period of time, not instantly), that she was "driven to this extreme" because she couldn't afford home care (a defense she never raised, and she apparently had a…

A lot of people manage to live with overwhelming stress and anxiety about their family's situation.

Fixed: "I absolutely don't condone what this woman did, but [let me make a bunch of garbage excuses for this woman's terrible and illegal behavior.]"

I'm so sorry. I think the best thing you said, though, was "I can't make him stay married to me". It's sad but very wise. The only thing worse than a relationship ending is staying in one out of guilt/obligation/etc. You will be better off in the long run. I hope your transition into your new life is as smooth as it…

We always need humans to open cans for us. We will send the catmobile to pick you up.

I watch pretty much every true crime television show out there, read tons of true crime books (if you haven't read The Devil in the White City yet, you really should), have wanted to visit the Lizzie Bordon house for years, and have read the entirety of this encyclopedia. As I watched Snapped today, I was also struck…

Thanks, I have watched the video ffs. Shit, I watched the whole episode! FFS!

At least Kim had to wait until last week to admit her whole second marriage was a sham

who gets custody of him?

... so you agree with the yelpers who also have no medical degrees? I don't understand the point of this comment. Is it just to put down another commenter?
