Having suffered from depression and anxiety for most of my life, and only now at age 33 starting to get at what works to help me deal with and manage my symptoms, I can say that there's really nothing you can say. I loved her posts about depression because she gets at the fact that anything you say to someone in this

And never, ever stop.

I know the difference. I know what a "pedal" is. I type fast and didn't proofread. But thanks for the anonymous condescension.

Original sin. I know they're not Christians, but the 3 majors started in basically the same place meaning they have similar myths about women being the ones that helped lead mankind astray. Our curvy figures and vaginas are nothing but tools for the devil to drive men mad. We are wicked from birth and should be

I wonder when they're going to issue the first "Sorry, not sorry" apology, followed by the back-peddle and contrition? From the looks of that last response, probably never.

Pretty much.

I've been noticing this since I was 10 and started looking at make-up for the first time (I was in Jr high school and I have 3 older sisters, it wasn't all that precocious.). I always wondered why it was nigh' on impossible to find anything even close to my shade. Plus I have extremely sensitive skin and that

Yeah, which is another reason that I'm glad she shared it. Knowing that your experience (no matter how horrible it was at the time) isn't so unique lessens it somehow. Time to throw out those skeletons stinkin' up the joint.

I think the tides are turning. Tweens of color and their parents are starting to clamor for performers that they can relate to. But, maybe I'm too idealistic for a Saturday. :)

I got "slut shamed" mercilessly in Jr high, I went from an A to a high C within the span of a year and because of that everyone called me names. I was a slut even though boys who wouldn't actually talk to me grabbed my boobs in the hallways, the girls took to calling me a whore and putting my gym clothes in the

Please stop. I feel like Uncle Jesse, "Have mercy"

Well, hello.

Hello freckles. How you doin'?

Hello freckles. How you doin'?

I had a male best friend for ten years. Our relationship was super close, covertly sexual and ultimately frustrating. We would talk about any and everything in our lives, up to and including sex with other people, I also took his virginity and we would occasionally share the odd late night grope. Our relationship

I still think she is a brilliant wordsmith. She's going places.

Well, instead of trying to boil it down with glib nonsense, say what you mean next time. If more people were direct and said what they meant, maybe there wouldn't be these kinds of misunderstandings.

Can we stop trotting out the old "they're just not getting laid" as the catch-all reason people become disaffected assholes? Can't they have just started out as assholes and we judge them on their shitty characters without making that a justification for bad behaviour and a shitty mindset? There are lots of people

Knowing what I know of focus testing, having worked at Nielsen, a few people at some point probably did point that out. But sadly, probably not enough people for it to make a difference.

I've said the same thing. But I added old, rich, and white.
