So at first I just thought you were kind of dim, posting that link over and over again as a real story when it’s transparently fiction.

I don’t think it’s the fact that she doesn’t actually look older than her age that got NonServiam annoyed with you. It’s the fact that there was no reason or relevance to bringing up your negative opinions of a sexual assault victim’s looks here.

So I take it you’re okay with people shitting on a victim’s looks?

What the fuck are you guys doing here instead of YouTube or the Daily Mail? And how are you in the black here? Have you discerned that this article is about the sexual assault victim of a serial rapist? Pathetic.

I heard you alright. It's just very, very weird on non-YouTube sites to comment on the hard-living looks of a sexual assault victim.

It’s the lighting in the photo.

If she was 18 in 2008, that makes her 25 now. I don’t think she looks older than 25.

Wtf is with you guys, are you casting models for a runway show? Where does this nastiness towards a victim’s looks come from?

She looks like she’s had a rough living to you? You may not think so, but that’s a harsh thing to say.

What's with the insultbrag.

I, like many a teenager, hated hated hated hated my parents.

It’s also pretty believable that Rosie, like just about every other actor/performer out there, has a public persona. It’s also equally believable that they feel free to drop it and relax at home where they don’t have to be “on”. We pretty much all do that.

I agree. I have issues up the wazoo with my mother (and can actually relate to the dual personalities) but also, sometimes parents put on a brave face bc they don’t want the world to know their issues. Sometimes if you’ve fucked up as a kid they will be nice to you in front of others and then give you a piece of mind…

None of her accusations struck me as too outrageous. Rosie should have hid her pot habit a little better.

I don’t think they would automatically, but over the course of years with a lot of women probably having back-to-back pregnancies I’m sure it wouldn’t go completely unnoticed. It’s not like a baby came out almost a year later after sex with no signs that it was there, either menustration or the other bodily changes.

True, but I think there will still be a big enough group to notice the consistency of a lost period.

true, but there isn’t any evidence that that’s NOT why. It’s decent speculation for someone who isn’t a historian. And an interesting point to chew on.

I probably should have edited, but in this context I’m talking about all historical documents, which can mean art, buildings, really anything man-made, not exclusively written documents/records. Those, especially the Venus of Willendorf, back up what she’s saying about fertility goddesses at one point carrying far…

But you also have to remember that menustration stops after you’re pregnant, so I think they could tie it a little closer to sex than “having a baby a year later.”

Celebrations of the fertility goddess in ancient Sumeria concluded with orgies, so the connection between sex and reproduction has been known for at least 5,000 years.
