A little less than a year ago, I started seeing a guy I'll call Kevin. Kevin and I had been dating for two weeks when he asked me to "be his girlfriend." I hesitated for a few minutes during that conversation, because I wasn't really entirely into the idea of being monogamous so soon in the dating relationship, but…

Yes. It took my then-boyfriend, now husband awhile to understand why I got so freaked out when I went out the door to go to work and would find that the door had been unlocked. (We're talking some full-scale panic attacks, sobbing in a heap on the floor). It never occurred to him to lock the door religiously like I do…

Everyone must read the review about the guy who takes his kid to a basketball game and has to use the public restroom:

Sad how true this joke is

I just keep thinking: will they believe us now? Is this finally the moment when men start to grasp the reality that women live in?

I am really sick of seeing sex framed as an object that one can give or receive rather than an experience. It's one of the fundamentally erroneous assumptions in so much discourse on this issue.

I'm sure this black dude is going to get the same "mental illness" excuse like the other guy right? Right?

This is true. Remember a few years back a WHITE MAN flew a plane (which he owned of course) into an IRS building in Austin killing himself AND a black man that was inside the building at the time. He did it as a terrorist action in protest against the taxes which were so outrageous that he only owned an airplane...

I read a really good quote, that I think explains it well... to some men who are sympathetic, but may not quite understand the plight. (Say, a male friend who is unaware).

"as a massive failure on the part of America's fathers. Many of your sons simply do not know how to treat or interact with women"

why can't we ask why young white men do most the mass shooting in our country? If middle aged black women were always the ones walking into shopping malls and taking down whoever they saw, there is no doubt in my mind there would be a severe crackdown on letting them buy guns AND severe suspicion wherever they went. …

Just wanted to add this incident as one fueled by verified MRA-like ideas:2009 shooting at Pittsburgh-area LA Fitness.

Except that it does.

You know, I once spoke with a famous university professor a few years ago and we were talking about whiteness and masculinity in the context of white anti-Muslim violence in Europe and America. What you're witnessing in all these shootings is precisely the violence that has always underwrote white male power but it's…

Wait, some of these are "whew thank God" misses (Jessica girl I feel you on that almost-an-old-Jewish-biddy-name, we had several Idas and a Gittel on my family branches), but let's talk about who Lane Victoria Davies would have been for a second.

I was always going to be Brent, which is already kind of awful (people immediately assume Brents are douchebags until you prove otherwise), but my dad wanted to name my brother Freeman or Freewalker. My mom talked him down to Matthew (middle name Walker).

I can't stop looking at the blonde girl in the Kardashian photo up there. Her outfit is so bad. Why is that what she is wearing? I get those sheer-middle tops when it's a thin sliver of flesh on show, but she just looks ridiculous. Am I being harsh? I can't stop hating it.

OK, enough. First Stacey Dash loses her damn mind and now Toni Braxton does too. Teenage in the 90s Emoses is having a really hard time accepting all this.

I try to be tolerant about religious beliefs, but I just have to say, Toni Braxton's god is an asshole. I don't understand why people would want to believe in a god who's so vindictive and hateful and takes things out on innocent children.

So Toni Braxton believes that God punished her son because she got an abortion. That's some next level shit there.
