I feel for you, thanks for sharing. It’s a hard experience to explain to other people. There’s so much self-doubt about what happened.

Oh, ok I get it now. Ya know, when I turned 21 I suddenly thought my step-brother and his dad were fair game and started letting them take naked pics of me. It’s like a light switch, right? Didn’t really matter that I babysat him, or his dad dated my mom for 10 years and I knew him since 4th grade. Pre-21 it was wrong…
I believe Dylan. She is a woman in her 30s now, and Mia cannot “parade” her around. It’s an especially appalling accusation coming from someone who claims to have been able to be on equal footing with Woody Allen when she was much younger than Dylan is now.
However, if I’m going to believe abuse victims, I’m going to…
I would argue it almost makes it worse if Farrow was extremely abusive. That her notion of appropriate boundaries was already so fucked up...ugh. This is bad shit.
My mom was a bad parent. Really should not have had children at all. She did her best but she was still pretty bad. I see a lot of her behavior in what Soon-Yi describes here. My mom didn’t teach me how to use tampons. Girls I went to school with did. I bought myself my first bra and still don’t know what my bra size…
It’s amazing. From the language ‘you’re super special and your mom is a bitch!’ ‘I dont think you’re retarded but everybody else sure does!’ to the isolation ‘we decided that I don’t need a job, or friends of my own, just take care of Woody first last and always’ to the choice of interviewer and the fact that he was…
Honestly, I think dating profiles for straight men should have a box to check if they’re housebroken.
All these shithead Internet Tough Feminists, grey and otherwise, telling us how they’d never let themselves get in this situation.
keep thinking this is a relationship between Nanny McPhee and David Fostter Wallace since I’m not actually sure who these people are.

I loved him because of Harry Potter, and then I hated him because of Twilight, and then I loved him again because of his hate of Twilight.
I (like everyone else with a soul) love the song linger. It wasn’t until after her death that Ilearned she wrote the lyrics for the song at only 17 years old. And honestly, it made even more sense. Such passion, such emotion, it can only come from someone who is so young and so new to romantic feelings. I’m about to…
I can’t get over how everyone in that room managed to not make a single face or sound until the very end when he finished—that’s a level of ‘I’ve seen so much shit, nothing phases me any more’ that I didn’t realize was possible.
Oh boy, we already have data coming in!
I could totally get behind a ‘how kind are they to dogs’ metric for all people running for public office. Not even a little bit sarcastic about that.
I lived next door to Ayanna for about 4 years, and she deserves all of this. She’s incredibly kind, but doesn’t take anyone’s shit. She was also really kind to my dog when she would see him. She’s exactly what we need in our government.
The thing is ‘we’ don’t fight back against it. Women do, until it effects men and then suddenly it’s a problem for all humanity. And when women or anyone else points out that discrepancy, glib idiots rush to explain how if we really caaared then we would ignore that context completely because the damage from ignoring…
This. The interactions of various plastic additives and women’s health have been known and more or less ignored for... well, decades at this point. Along with the side effects of birth control, hormones and antibiotics in meat and dairy, and on and on ad nauseum. I remain baffled and annoyed that side effects which…
