Honestly, this is why I'm inclined to think it's bullshit, or at least a highly edited version of what really went down. I could buy a family maybe looking past you boning your cousin. I do not buy that everyone from the father's girlfriend to his parents to her grandparents are just delighted in this relationship.…

She found out when she heard us making love. I guess we didn't realize how thin the bedroom floor was. She really didn't mind. Now we're like a little family. She calls me her daughter.

I'd really like to hear how anyone thinks this is okay ESPECIALLY the dad. Like, his confused teenage daughter is weirdly attracted to him... okay... now is the part where you shut that shit down, not where you hook up with her.

Nah. Fucking your teenaged daughter is objectively wrong. NEXT.

Hi, did you miss this part?: "And then there are parts that are just really deeply sad, and warrant compassion and not mockery, a reminder that this relationship is clearly primarily about the absence for this woman of a real father—about what Tsoulis-Reay calls a 'primordial sense of having always belonged to the…

it's the family thing that is honestly the weirdest part

Oh for fuck's sake. THIS is the exact type of comment people are talking about when they talk shit about Jezebel commenters.

This is NOT ok.

This is THE topmost question people have when people first find out they've been using the wrong term, & want to learn the correct one.... The most concise phrasing of it I have heard so far is "Does the man/woman thing mean the gender you're coming FROM, or going TO?"

I just had a conversation with two cis-gendered women this morning. They were trying to figure out if the "man" or "woman" in "transman" and "transwoman" was the gender of birth or identity.

" Anyone who has seen even an episode of Transparent (and Stanely definitely has), or who knows the first thing about trans identity..."

Can you imagine a teenaged girl posting pictures of her friend's hot dad in a speedo to Twitter, and having people virtually high five her and try to convince him to take her?

Can't tell if stupid or ironic.

You really can't see the difference between this and asking for a ride??? Really??? Come on.

what the fuck are you talking about? If he thought the teenage daughter could give consent for her mother going to prom with him, and that it was similar to asking for a lift, than he is a fucking moron in addition to be entitled. I wasn't that dumb as a teenager, and I was already using heroin

I don't know where you grew up but I have yet to meet anyone anywhere who had a friend ask, "Say, can I date your mom/dad?" and not get told off, laughed at, or fist to the face.

I usually don't agree with you but you got it right on the money with this one.

LOLLLL. Asking a friend's parents to drive you somewhere is TOTES THE SAME as asking a friend's parent to take you to prom and then blasting pictures of her in a bikini on Twitter to see if you could really get her to do it.

Watch a couple of Anita Sarkeesian's videos and you'll quickly see where a big chunk of that entitlement comes from.
