I feel the same way. I actually kinda avoid the comment sections on articles that pertain to women on here now. Like the article on abortion...(read my comment above to coldhummus if you want to know about that)...that comment section was a bit of a nightmare and I certainly did not feel welcome either. Which sucks…

I’ve noticed the exact same thing. Yesterday I was reading the article here on Splinter about abortion, -though I THOUGHT it was on Jezebel, whoops- and I was reading the comments and one person said something I really loved and agreed with. I read the replies to her thinking there would be a lot of folks agreeing…

I’m sorry you are going through a hard time. This internet stranger wishes you well and hopes things will get better for you soon.

Nice bootstraps story and all, but who’s to say she isn’t already doing everything possible to find any kind of job? My sister has a law degree and a grad degree, and it still took her six months of applying everywhere in our small city/town to find something. She ended up being a kayak instructor and a motel maid for…

What she or most other women refer to as “bros” are not all dudes, just the misogynist chump ones. I don’t think she meant berniebros, either.

I didn’t know any of this. (I’m not quite thirty) I’m glad I do now though. A lot of that really disturbs me, wow.

I’m kinda sad to see that some of the first commenters on this great article-and some of the folks replying to you- are people that just resoundingly don’t get it at all. (But they sure think they do!)

It works! Thank you!!!

Oh, this was too good! I really giggled.

That’s cool, because I love onion soup AND I always loved that story about the nail soup! (Though in my version it was a rock instead of a nail.)

I was horrified to read this! How sick and twisted someone would have to be to do that and re-terrorize this woman. I hope it won’t happen to any of his other victims. They have been through so much already- having to see thier rapist almost win in the AL election, being villified by his supporters and recieving no…

This really made me giggle. I would star it, but the kinja gods decided I could only seemingly remove stars today :-(

I love it!

Haha, I thought the same thing about the six things! That’s awesome. Your new year’s resolution is the first one I’ve heard so far that is actually pretty great, too. I too, want to know the other ones you have.

Whoa, I’ve never seen this before. That’s insane and as a quarter-native woman, I’m pretty not amused as well. I’m sure it must have really upset your mom, and what an awful thing for third-grade you to have to see normalized like that! :-(

I tried to give you a star, but the kinja gods took one away instead... I’m sorry :-(

I totally *heart* you for this, lol!

I think it was more like 4,000.

Um, what? Sure. Okay.

Yes, because abortion is totally fine when it’s a group of people we don’t “like” or “need”, right? As long as white babies aren’t being aborted!
