Good. For. Her.

no, sorry, I disagree. He and his friends caused her years of anxiety and eating disorders. I'm still not convinced he remembered her when he asked her out. As I said below, as women we're conditioned to put everyone else's feelings, wants, needs, desires - especially men's - ahead of our own. I'm thrilled she put…

Yes to all of this. He was an asshole, and when he met her again he didn't even stop to apologize, he just thought "Oh, well, this lady has smartly "remade" herself into something I find acceptable now, I'm sure she will be thrilled to find I now approve of her!" Hence the dinner invite and not an apology for being…

The mature response is never to ignore shitheads. That's why they get away with being shitheads.

If people hadn't ignored these people picking on her, usually with the line "Ignore it.", then she wouldn't have to have put up with it.

The mature response is to make the world a better place. And if you can do that by…

I'm sure he's a really nice guy and she should have just given him a chance!

He says he's a different person, but he starts the note with a "you're not that hot I wasn't even asking you out" paragraph before saying all he can do is apologize, but not actually apologizing. This is after he asked out a woman he apparently remembered tormenting but decided to act like nothing had ever happened.

While I won't deliberately hate someone who was gleefully mean to me in grade school, middle school or high school, I will never pretend that youth means ignorance of right or wrong. I didn't like everyone I went to school with, but I also knew that it was wrong to intentionally inflict pain on others for my own…

He had the opportunity to not torment her every day for 3 yrs. He got stood up for dinner, she got tormented for 3 yrs. I know whose side I'm on.

Eh, it's kind of on you to correct a person's perception of you when you've behaved poorly. I vividly recall running into a guy who'd been a colossal ass when when knew each other in college ten years later. Not a bully, but prone to rudeness and full of himself. He came up to me at a bar and told me he felt…

Adolescence is hard, but really bro,

Sorry but years of being tortured as a fag made me unforgiving of whom they were or whom they are. Fuck them hard.

Think of it as a bullying boomerang that took a bit of a detour.

I'm one of those people who was tormented all the way through school, from 1st through 12th. I am sure some of those people have turned out differently, but I was definitely scarred and have zero interest in giving any of them a second chance. I don't live near them, I don't have any happy memories of them, and there…

"Every day for three years" is not some isolated childhood bullying incident. That's deliberate harassment from the time they were about 13 to 16 years old.
He had the opportunity to apologize when they bumped into each other a few years later. He didn't. He had the opportunity to apologize with his first email &…

I don't get kids today. I'm far too impatient for internet videos that are actually of interest to me; I skip ahead and compulsively open new tabs while they play because I just cannot pay attention to them. I'd rather read a transcript most of the time. So I really just do not understand how legions of young people…

She probably doesn't like the idea of the meat industry turning a profit on one of her shows. I get it completely, though I suppose opinions could vary.

My boyf has this uncanny ability to win concert tickets off radio stations. This year alone, we have seen James Taylor, gone to a 3-day wine-and-music festival, and, most recently saw Chrissy Hynde perform (just this week!). You guys, she is a badass and her vocals are spot-on. Like, she must be drinking tea with…

Firstly, Calgary is not exactly a bastion of feminist thought (or anti-racist, or anything radical, or up-to-date, whatever the topic), despite the existence of two universities within the city. My husband and I are both from elsewhere and lament this backwardness regularly.

Translation: I just came here to whine about feminists. indulge me!!

Nice try, but it's more like "I'm obviously lying!" - Woman. "We Know" - everyone else.
