I am an Asian Woman and I Think Asian Boyfriends Are Superior (Well, Mine is Anyway)

It has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with cultural upbringing. But if we’re going to talk about stereotypes, then I will have to declare from personal experience: Asian men are the best ones to date.

It Happened To Me: I'm Married To A Virgin

You may be thinking, "So what? You married a virgin?" That’s not what I mean. My husband was a virgin when we got married almost a year ago and still is.

It Happened To Me: My Boyfriend's Last Girlfriend Was A Hooker

How could my cherished and super-lovely professional boyfriend have pined for a woman who made a career out of selling sex?

 And if she fucked guys for a living, was she far better in bed than me?

It Happened To Me Contest Entry: I Was Denied Birth Control Because I Have Depression

I shivered on the table as she, this total stranger who was about to examine my vagina, condemned and disparaged my most private battle. I was already laid bare, literally, making me feel enormously vulnerable and awkward.

It Happened To Me Contest Entry: My Daughter Was Sexually Abused For Three Years And I Couldn't Stop It

My story is about what I went through, trying and failing to protect her and the tragic inaction by police, social workers and the family court system that created a nightmare I never thought we’d escape.

It Happened To Me Contest Entry: I Just Hit Rock Bottom With Alcohol

I’m a human being that deals with mental illness in self-destructive ways, not a bunch of orifices for you to poke because you think my reckless treatment of my body somehow cancels out my autonomy over it.

It Happened To Me Contest Entry: I'm Renting My Spare Room To an Adult Woman Who Uses It For Sex With Her Teenage Boyfriend

Her bedroom consisted of my chair, a mattress with sheets, a towel, a bottle of lotion and a bottle of lube. At different times I found lingerie, a Valentine’s Day stuffed animal, and a poorly written high-school assignment marked 70 percent.

internal racism

Recognizing my internal "racism" as an Asian woman is the only way for me to fix it

When I wrote my story for xoJane, I did so to spark dialogue and because I know that honestly and brutally looking at my issues is the only way to go about changing myself and spurring debate.

It Happened To Me Contest: I Witnessed an Exorcism

I believe witnessing “demonic activity” or whatever it was I witnessed 15 years ago gave me post-traumatic stress disorder. I began having panic attacks every time I attended church, worried that what previously seemed like a peaceful prayer could trigger a screeching attack within me.
