Exactly the kind of personal experience this article reminded me of! Senior year of high school, I broke up with my high school sweetheart and about three days later, one of my male friends came on to me. I told him I thought it was best that I stay single in order to heal after my break-up and he flipped out on me,…

After being beaten and raped by a stranger in a park, I’ve been in and out of treatment for PTSD ever since. The medications I’ve been prescribed for the nightmares help my blood pressure stay low but doesn’t stop them from happening. I’ve been assaulted and raped in my sleep almost every night over the last decade.

When I was violently beaten and raped by a stranger in a park at 18, I didn’t report it. From my experience most women don’t.

This has been going on awhile.

My sister was a fat kid (200 lbs at around age 10) and the only jeans she could find as a middle schooler were from Limited Too. Granted this was around 2000-03. I remember being mortified when my mother would drag me into that glittery hell while my sister tried on those pink and silver glittery jeans with the…

Stop trying to cock block, Cory.

When you say your Swiffer pad is like a diaper, I get the unpleasant visual of your floors covered in shit.

I don’t think people should be assuming that she’s lying when she says she really doesn’t remember it happening. It is possible that Joan Jett had no idea what was going on in the room. She could have witnessed the rape, but not been sober enough to know what was happening.

The H2B guys there had graduated from grad schools here in the US and were highly qualified engineers. Actually, far more qualified than what they were paid, which was a third of what my husband was making sans degree. My husband usually works for larger tech companies so this was our first time experiencing a…

You know that scene in horror movies where the innocent person goes to investigate the strange noise by themselves? You scream at the TV for them to run but of course they can’t hear you.

I had 3k about 7 years ago to spend on my wedding. It was very rough to budget with that. We decided to forgo any big party and just have a morning wedding on the beach (you can sometimes rent venues cheaper in the morning) with a brunch afterwards for close friends and immediate family.

I did not say “buy one”, I said “have one printed,” -one meaning a chair. I’m sure that within the next few years there will be internet companies popping up that let you buy some cheap plastic furniture, much in the vein of sculpteo.com.

Who would buy a Pantonstolen when they could have one printed?

Thank you, that is very kind of you to say.

I lived in SF just two years ago, and it was the same. You did read my comment and saw that I referred to “local stores?”

Work/Life balance is one of the hardest things to achieve. My husband is a software engineer. We’ve moved back and forth across the country 7 times in the last 4 years as he hops around trying to find the best paycheck/benefits/retirement plan that doesn’t require weekends or overtime. We’ve finally found it, and…

In fashion and even in entertainment to some extent, a size 6 woman and up is typically considered “plus-size.” A size 4 model is really pushing it, and she’s probably considered too big for to model “normal” clothes and too small to model “plus-size.” She’d probably be told to lose some weight.

It’s why the clearance racks in my local stores are full of size XS and S clothing, but good luck finding any M, L or XL clothing on sale.

Did you even watch the trailer? I wouldn’t call any one of those models “common.”
