um, referring to Europe as some homogeneous bloc is the same as referring to 'Africa' as if it were a single country rather than a continent - ignorant.

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Try again. Or better yet, don't.

a dozen topless women chanted, "Abortion is sacred!" as they rushed toward a Catholic cardinal, pelting him with lace panties. Priests closed in on the cardinal, and elderly churchgoers used their handbags to swat at the topless protesters.

And you know fuck all, or you're fabricating.

Everyone is evil. But she stuck to her story and got some form of justice. I hope she sues them into bankrupcy!!!!

A note to rape culture apologists; this is the kinds of shit that happens when you push the "she was asking for it" narrative. Nobody is safe when this attitude is allowed flush. Being elderly won't be protect you from being victim blamed and slut shamed. Very young children won't be protected from it either. So…

There's not a single part of this story that I can handle. Not one.

Horrifying-and I bet he had raped other elderly patients before. I hope that place is sued into oblivion. My elderly mom always has had a fantasy of going and living in an old folks home, for some reason. She is mentally ill and thinks that they are like spas, or deluxe hotels. I am keeping her in her apartment under…

Considering that Gabby is the one that went through that horrifying ordeal, she has the right to deal with it however she sees fit. Unless she's demanding fellow victims to reject victimhood and join her on her rape survivor crusade, I fail to see how she's wrong for deciding that she doesn't want to feel like a…

I appreciate Gabrielle sharing HER experience. I don't understand why people criticizing her. I have talked to a few other Black women and they don't like the victim status, they prefer survivor. Now people police what those who experience sexual assault can say? I didn't read any victim blaming nor did I read…

I'm pretty sure she's not trying to speak for anyone else, only how she felt about her own experience. In what way is a woman talking about something that actually happened to her uninformed?

Her narrative is her narrative. It doesn't have to be most people's narrative.

I feel incredibly strongly about people's right to self-identify in any way that seems right to them, so you keep keeping on, Gabrielle Union. You're clearly a fantastic lady with all the right switches flicked. But it's also probably worth giving space to the idea that being made a victim is not something to be…

Okay, first of all, Kim K is not even a tiny bit like Marilyn Monroe, except that they are/were both women. Second, does everyone forget that Marilyn Monroe had a tragic life and died young? Why would anyone want to emulate that?

I've been pining for one of those. I feel certain they'll be very poplar.

I'm so tired of this game of one-upmanship between Kanye and Dennis Rodman. Kanye is never going to win.

and the line about Unitarianism was totally uncalled for.. I don't currently attend a Unitarian church, but have in the past and found it very honest and fulfilling. So that hurt my feelings a little.

Maybe the second writer's friend is just attracted to nerds.

Was I the only one that thought the answer to the first question was a bit condescending? I don't know anything about Reiki, & maybe it's complete hooey, but it sounds like the one asking for help has found a personal benefit from their mentor. I don't disagree with the point - (she can hang out with whomever, but you…

Ok I will give this a shot for the umpteenth time.
