Is it revenge porn when a stripper drives a car through your house?

I've had a really good time the last few days during finals just exploring what's out there on Medium.  There are some great recommendations on their front page, and exploring some topics have yielded some excellent off-the-beaten-path articles I never would have otherwise touched.

this is an example of the fascinating stuff I've stumbled across on Medium

I find it well-written, vulnerable, engaging, and thoughtful
I never would've tried to find something like this
I'm not really sure how I feel about it all, but it's making me think, so that's not a bad thing
It's clearly relevant to my state at the moment, so there's that
The debate in the comment section is, sadly, not unlike other comment sections elsewhere
