My ex-brother-in-law had a lot of beliefs and behaviors that I found incredibly offensive. In private, I expressed my revulsion at him to my then-husband and close friends/family. But in public? Hell, no. My relationship with my in-laws was fragile at best, and my ex had such a fractured family already that I wasn’t…
I briefly dated (in the loosest, college hookup-y, terms) a guy who told me, while making posters with our GSA, that he sometimes wished he was gay because “dudes are always horny”... yeah, that was the end of any chance of having an actual relationship.
I’ve experienced both sides. My mother worked full-time and never missed a single school event. Her coworkers were all mothers themselves (nursing home employees) and worked together to ensure everyone made it to the plays, concerts, and competitions. Yes, sometimes that meant she worked late, or a weird shift, or…
I struggle with this, too. I don’t have kids and am not sure if I ever will. Most of the time, I don’t mind doing a little extra here and there to help out my colleagues with kids. But often, it seems that “kid issues/plans” take precedence over my plans. My current job is pretty fair about these things, but previous…
That was my immediate thought! The intention was so different and she realized her mistake and has been genuinely remorseful for any hurt she caused. Yet she’s still apologizing, and how many terrible men have done far worse things with less repentance and still have their reputations intact?
“You Must Remember This” is a podcast about the first century of Hollywood stars, and did a series on Jane Fonda. The way the whole photo shoot went down was much different than portrayed in the media. Basically, she was encouraged to pose and was playing to the crowd of people who were there. The second that the…
Thank you! I’ve been thinking on this for a while.
Nearly every woman I know has a similar story (or stories) about giving in to sex because she was worn down. No, technically she wasn’t forced and didn’t fear for her life... but she also realized that her “no” wouldn’t matter, anyway, and she might as well go along with it and get it over with so the whole episode…
I hate that you’re right.
That article made me want to throw my phone across the room. Aziz is the one person I didn’t see this coming from. James Franco? Been waiting on that one for weeks. Gordon Ramsey? Another guy I’m sure has skeletons in his closet. But Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Aziz were my three who I had faith in. Literally,…
I (and most of my close friends) struggle with depression and get more worried of someone other than my mom calls without first setting up a mutually convenient time via text. I need to get into a social mindset, which requires some effort, before I can chat with a friend about my day.
My boyfriend gives me shit about requiring attention every 3 hours. Once he pointed it out, I notice almost daily that I will text him 3 hours after his last response to...whatever. We find it kind of hilarious that it is that easy to pinpoint my level of neediness, and I appreciate that he humors me (and finds it…
Right there with you. The second I am not cramming my mind with thoughts, it comes up with its own, all of which involve people I love dying or my rapist showing up. (Lately, it’s introduced a new one, in which I am stalked by roving packs of rapists because apparently I wasn’t anxious enough). Mediation is like…
