I agree, as a woman. Our awareness of gender issues at an all-time high means men need to learn ways of approaching women that respect us. When I was single, the only time I was respectfully approached was by my now-husband, who said I like you, want to catch a hockey game? I had never been, he took me and explained

When I was about 11-12, my mother let me stay up to watch The Burning Bed, starring Farrah Fawcett. She did me a great service in understanding domestic abuse, and she never shielded me from the real horrors women can face. She is not only a survivor of DV, but also a survivor of multiple rapes. She never

This should have more stars. Thank you.

I agree, and while I am not a fan of Swift’s, it’s clear she has claimed the snake imagery as her own, and de-fanged her critics. Pretty clever.

I’ve seen .gifs, but I needed this in my life.

Yes, and pocket seams too. I was embarrassed by them, when clearly I should have been proud. Regrets...

Interesting to me that witch hunt has (largely) come to mean those who target men, rather than the historical fact of witch hunts were mostly targeting women for being women. Some irony, amiright?

Don’t understand this.

Bad take.

Me too. Isn’t that just for poor people? I’m pretty sure I would remember when I was accidentally cool.

That ad is driving me nuts and I’ve opted out of reading some articles because I was jumping all over the page. Thank you for pointing it out.

Yes! Thank you!

I’ve known some people like Rusty. One of my mother’s ex-husbands was like this, mean and petty because his life was shit, but also because he really craved the attention, especially being law-enforcement adjacent. Would drive to fires in case the fire company needed his (untrained) help. Listened to police channels,

Or to business (typically marketing)! You made me laugh out loud ‘cause that is so true (the changing majors when stuff gets hard part).

Wow, that was an epic speech. Courtney Love has not gotten the intellectual respect she deserves. People focus on the allegations of addiction, but let me tell you, many drunk, high, and totally sloppy dudes get called genius all the time and their addictions are part of their legacy. Not so much, women with voices.

All this.

Nice. Once I lose my key again, I’ll start waiting next to tables. ;)

Is it bad to regret that the Trayvon Martin piece may now not get distributed? I hope it does, and I hope it’s a really deep piece about injustice in our country and judicial system. I hope we are not further victimizing Trayvon or his family. Give me insight, Jezzies.

She said all the men who abused her, you dumb cunt. I feel sorry for you, for your deep stupidity and rotten soul. For her, I say, I believe you and know from experience, sister.

If you’re a woman like me, this is no sudden interest. I’m very glad that our climate today has given people the bravery to say, enough is enough. Time to speak out, consequences be damned. (Saluting you, Rose McGowan).
