That passage is one of those things that says far more about the author than about his purported subject. You just know his relationships with women throughout his life had to be seriously dysfunctional, most likely because he’s just a self-obsessed jerk.

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

I’ve frequently been drawn to cute clothes at target only to discover they are maternity.

Suggestion: Target? I only ever see their maternity stuff right next to all their other women's clothing. At a quick glance, some of the stuff looks pretty cute!

but it’s adorable in a romcom...

EXACTLY! I’m not leading you on, being coy, or playing hard to get. I’m Afraid!!

“Why can’t women just be direct and honest if they don’t want to go out with you?!”

That line of thinking, which is apparently taught in police academies, completely baffles me. They honestly believe they are getting a hefty paycheck and generous benefits on the taxpayer’s dime to look out for themselves, and they are furious and deeply offended that anyone could expect anything else of them, even…

Never mind the fact that he was in little danger in this situation to begin with. And the jury saw that.

“Police officers do not get paid to get stabbed or shot,” Forcillo argued. “They are paid to go home in one piece.”

I’m one of those people who don’t particularly like it. I don’t know why, it just felt like I got old, crossed this invisible line and became a ma’am (which to me is something you use to address an elder).

You need more meds.

It’s because they have been sexually harassing people all their lives and never gotten in trouble for it. Women don’t report it (why bother?), authority figures don’t believe it or do anything about it when It does get reported and then they get to like 50 and someone finally is taken seriously (often for the *wrong…

I think you’re completely right she needed, and still needs, help and support. But taking the baby away and only allowing her 1 hour twice a month is ridiculous. Ideally, she would have been referred for help by her OB before birth to gain some of the basics like diapering and CPR and then a home visit nurse would…

After Dana’s placement, Sara was initially allowed to see her daughter for one hour each week with the brief help of her own mother and the supervision of a social worker.

I think he might have hurt himself trying to climb up that metal post. Poor little guy.

I LOVE that she said that. She DOES deserve it. She’s worked damn hard, she’s achieved a ton. I love that she gives herself credit where it’s due. I need to work on that.

I don’t agree. There was a point when they stopped and he kept going. For a month. And then he was told to stop and he kept going.

This week, Judge Brent Knazan pointed out that the prosecutors failed to prove that Elliott “knew he was harassing the women, and that they were reasonably fearful from that harassment.”

Agreed. That animal looked stressed the fuck out.
