Keyword: men. Not some men. You just used the word men. Also, by comparing men's behavior to pigs, you're kind of comparing them to meat treating them in a subhuman way. Brava.
You're still making a blanket statement all men act like pigs. I'm pretty sure that there are some who don't. You're eliminating some useful male allies with that statement.
And I realize there are those kinds of parents. I said that in my first post "Not saying there weren't those kids who had parents who were around and available who just didn't deal with their kids." I was just mostly concerned how this could play out for families who are less fortunate.
That's true. I was just speaking from my own experience because I went to a really fucking poor school district.
I'm not saying that at all. Parents are responsible for their children. I'm just saying that there are quite of lot of parents whose parental responsibilities are exhausted by time/money constraints and end up focusing more on whether or not their children are fed/clothed/sheltered rather than actually being there and…
That's nice. Are there still kids in foster care where you live? I'm sure the system would love to be saddled with even more children they can't find homes for.
That's how this would've played out in my house and in lot of the kids houses I knew growing up.
I know it isn't the school's responsibility to solve global economic issues, but I guess what I'm getting at here is that I think there are other ways to curb bullying besides hitting parents in their pocketbook.
Having kids isn't in the near future for my husband and I, but we've already decided that he will be the stay at home parent. He dropped out of college and currently works in insurance, and once I get my degree, I will make far more money that he does. Our plan is that he earns the most while I'm in college and once…
That's a fair point and nice and all, but I think the bigger problem is why parents don't have time to parent. It's nice to think that babies only happen where there is money for babies, but that's not reality.
I smell what you're stepping in. It's really not a petty point. I know I get pissed off when someone makes a blanket statement that all women like shopping and babies.
I feel like this is a problem. I know a lot of the bullies that I had when I was kid came from similar backgrounds as me. Low socioeconomic status with parents who were working 2 or 3 jobs just to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Parents just simply didn't have enough time to deal with their kids.…
Do it anyway!!! Men who wear make-up are fucking sexual.
This needs to be addressed to a lot of dudes who aren't an MRA. I find that a lot of men in my generation just don't realize that sexism still exists. I've met a lot of men who think "Women can get jobs and go to college now, what's the big deal?"
This is problematic for me. I was just thinking "Well, if I know how many calories a drink has and I plan on drinking that day, I can just not eat as much that day and then because I haven't eaten as much I can get drunk with less!" I think I tsked tsked myself afterwards.
I really wish I could just hug Paris Jackson. Having been a suicidal self-harming teenager, I sincerely doubt that it was over a Marilyn Manson concert (at least I hope not. Get at me girl, I'll hook you up with some real music). And so what if it was for attention? Maybe she needs some attention. I know I sure as…
