I mean, obviously she was hired to be his escort for the night. But I don't think that makes it acceptable that someone put on blackface and harassed her.

Here is the thing: he was spanked. A lot. By his birth mom, and by caretakers at the group home where he lived. Didn't improve him any. His school records show violent behavior from 18 months on, when he was left in government run daycare (group home records don't, because they fudge those so the kids are not deemed…

Oh my Lord, you have a lot on your plate. Huge internet hug from a stranger who wishes your family well.

None of what you said is particularly true or couldn't have been done better using other methods. The research says that even the spanking as you have described is not optimal. It doesn't work well. Period. People are not dogs.

I swatted my daughter one time. She was going through a particularly rough period of behavior (a totally justified one: new house, big girl bed, potty training, new sibling coming, starting school) and I was a 9 month pregnant lump of exhaustion. When this article says "Spanking is not a well-reasoned, cool-headed…

I am just going to wait for all the pro spanking people to flame this thread with how they don't have anger management issues (in all caps).

I was thinking the exact same thing.

DISCLAIMER: You may not agree with what I have to say here. What you read may piss you off. I'm fine with that. In fact, I'm so fine with it that I've decided that I won't even challenge what you reply back with. Why? I'm done arguing about this with people. I've heard your views and the reasoning you use to support…

I was dating someone who was pressuring me into an open relationship and sought informal advice from a very seasoned psychiatrist I know who's treated a lot of couples.

After all, would you describe two people in a monogamous, long-term relationship who've tested negative for STDs as engaging in "unprotected sex?"

Are you kidding me? I don't even know where to start with you. First of all, she wrote an obituary, which needed to be written in the present. Also, if you think all of this crap doesn't affect someone's present then you certainly have not had to deal with any of this, or, you're in complete denial.

Pretty much none of that crap is true.

The best part is when she talks about how porn stars are people. Which you knew,

I want to time travel and hug the children you were, and I want to regular travel and shake the hand of the adult you have become.

I've honestly never seen anything particularly spectacular about the way Woody Allen portrays women. His films have always struck me as acutely misogynist. And actually, who he is in his personal life has everything to do with the films he makes because he literally writes about himself all the time and has starred in…

"I'm not crazy about what he did..."

She wasn't just "in one of his movies." She accepted an award on his behalf, glowingly praising him as this wonderful guy who writes such amazing roles for women on national television and accepts awards on his behalf. Actors like Cate Blanchett have a choice in who they work with. And acting in someone's movie is not…

Too bad she can't do right by Dylan Farrow and acknowledge that whole abuse thing.

Fuck you.
