This is all true, which is why I agree we need to disarm men (in the hypothetical) but my point is that black women of all other identities have shown themselves to be a lot more trustworthy to have the right outlook for something as serious as a gun while white women and all men have not.

I love her mother!

Also, her mother is something of an expert in this area.

Dude, they’re clearly referring to a dysfunctional savior/savee (?) relationship cliché, not to mental illness specifically.

I was talking to a friend about this when it happened and we were heartbroken and it devolved into a conversation about how we were sure this boiled down to a “scorned” boy. Because that is always what it boils down to. Men who can’t, for whatever reason, succeed in fucking us, rape us. And when they can’t do that…

I don’t think that will ever pass. What if someone stabs someone with your kitchen knife? Your stolen vehicle results in vehicular manslaughter? Or if your house burns down and someone died in it?

Well, as long as Dr. Mancousin still approves, right? Damn, dad. 

I had a similar discussion with an obnoxious uncle at a family event. Talking with a distantly related female relative about 40 years older than me who had recently had her 1st grandchild, when discussing the birth she mentioned that it was great there was so many female obgyns nowdays. I said I have never and would…

This used to be my attitude. Then I had the two worst, most humiliating experiences of my life with two, different, female gynecologists. One of them was a university health center gynecologist, who told me, a graduate student in her thirties, that I wasn’t at school to get pregnant, and basically called me a slut.…

Exactly. She’ll have a whole new cast of toxic narcissists to deal with.

It is such a rare phenomenon that the paper refers to it as a “micropractice.”

Yes, lets make sure to ruin the life of the woman who DIDN’T assault anyone but was affiliated with the guy who was (and has yet to be held accountable for his actions).

The last time I did anything for free was when my cousin and his then soon to be wife were buying a foreclosed property and after 3 months of not being paid, they decided they didn’t want the property. I lost nearly $2000 worth of work that I never saw a penny of. As their wedding gift, I put my invoice in their…

All men feel entitled (we can’t help it).

My wife saw this happen once at a mall and grabbed me and walked up to the woman and said “we see what’s happening, what can we do to help?” She was there to meet friends who were running late so the two of them walked into a store and I stood outside and stared the man down. I can look fucking scary. I started…

My sage advice young attorney is that you keep doing that. You work with these people all the time you get more favors by being friends than being that asshole. I don’t litigate much anymore and I only go to court for foreclosures and evictions and I work with the same group of people every time. We are all friends…

Civil litigation - mostly commercial disputes, employment, some civil rights. Mostly defense, some plaintiff-side. Currently sitting in my PJs doing doc review on a Sunday because discovery deadlines wait for no man...

congrats! I sometimes am exhausted and stressed and frustrated, but I’m so happy that at least I’m at a firm with coworkers who are genuinely nice people, good lawyers, and committed to mentoring me. it’s the best feeling, and I’m glad you have it too!

Yes, I would very much assume that what was done to your younger self was by design.

I am so happy for you. Abuse in the workplace is a thing. I’m so glad that you got out. I’m so proud of you for finding that mentor, building yourself up again and now look at you!! I also think that it speaks volumes about you as a person that you want to pass on that confidence to other women in your position. Team…
