Thank you! I usually just buy whatever they have in my supermarket - I think I have a maybelline one? I will try your recommendations!

I can’t recommend anything because I am useless at this, hence my question - is there a black mascara that will not end up under my eyes? Why does that happen? How come it doesn’t seem to happen to other people? How can I stop it? Thanks!!

It is a fab podcast! And Deborah Francis-White has just released a great book too, also called the Guilty Feminist. 

I do wear a bra, even when slobbing around: your experience, life and choices are not the same as everyone else’s. That’s what makes humanity awesome!

Write to the publisher with your feedback. Ask them that question and back up your assertions/corrections. I love a letter of complaint!

You’re not reading it wrong. It is someone being an arsehole. Flag/dismiss.

I am so sorry for her and you. I hope she’s able to get some help to get through this.

I’m sorry for you and them. The feeling of helplessness is dreadful.

I don’t understand why mirror selfie-takers do not first tidy up their surroundings. Just... is this the image you want to present to the world?

Completely off topic and I totally agree with what you’ve said - I love the word quim and it is so underused, especially in sexytalk.

Yes, I know what you mean, depressingly...

The comment is a mocking reference to another commenter above who is saying exactly that in seriousness - and I completely agree with your reaction!

Having picked it up, where would you like us to put the trash? The bin men are on strike. Bin bags are piling up on the street, being ripped open by foxes or other creatures and waste is spilling on to roads and pavements. If you don’t drive, taking your bin bags to the tip is actually “fucking hard”.
