I think this is actually another issue pointing to the problem with our pro-life culture. We're pro-life as long as it's babies - we do not value or care about the women carrying them, and on a cultural level we have SO much to fix. I think all of the things in this article will be a good start, but I also think…

Where do you live? I'd like to move there, please.

:)

I totally agree with you. It also assumes that all of the people who live at home are totally mooching, when the reality is there's a massive sliding scale of how much support someone might be getting - it could be all free, it could be less rent, or just utilities, etc. etc.

I'm sorry for your situation, but the last sentence about choosing to be an adult is offensive. There are a LOT of adults who are really struggling, are unhappy to be unemployed for long stretches, were indeed sold a bill of goods about student loans and starting salaries (which are lower than they were 10 years ago,…

Not only that, he's now suing the Gaye family to insist that he didn't "borrow" from music they have rights to.

I haven't seen the video and I've thought the song was rapey since I first heard it. It's super catchy, but really, it makes me uncomfortable to hear how he knows she wants it and wants to grab him and she's a good girl and all the coercive insinuations there. Made me not even want to watch the video, even before…

Women do not have all the power. Perhaps they would if they got equal pay and equal opportunities, but no, they do not have all the power. There is a plethora of statistics on men who abandon their families, pay less or no child support compared to the statutory requirements, and the degree to which single mothers…

Clearly a sign you are not meant to abandon Dots. I'm thinking I must check this game out... apparently I have been living under a rock.

I could be alone in this, but I think Jennifer Lawrence blows Scarlett Johansson totally out of the water.

What about strategically placed objects blocking it, a la Austin Powers movies? That could work but still send the message, right?

Agreed. I really want to like her, but... meh.

Mostly true, but I think it's as someone said up-thread - now that they are stuck with explaining to their daughter why she was uninvited, it's their business now, too. It's not really the same as not being invited in the first place, or even having to explain that to kids. This is just plain rude, and they'll never…

I love that you said this about Jean Grey, because I have always felt the same way and kept it to myself to avoid getting crazy eyes from others. Also I agree with the rest of your comment!

I hope you aren't friends with her anymore. I work hard not to take it personally when I'm not invited to weddings for people I really care about, because I know it's crazy expensive and people have big families etc., but uninviting someone? No. Just - no.

There's a pretty big distinction between dating and hooking up, though. Dating is supposed to involve going out on dates, while hooking up seems to mean only getting together in a bedroom. It becomes all about the sex and not about getting to know someone to see if they fit you, and the sex distracts from what's…

Apparently you don't, since you're blaming the victim and deciding she wasn't actually cornered - just felt it. Were you there?

No, I didn't - I'm not making a distinction between what happened and how she felt and judging her for it, that it's "not as big a deal", unlike you. You're the asshole here, make no mistake about it.

You don't think her story is as big a deal as she's making it seem, because someone tried to corner her in her own home and couldn't seem to take no for an answer? What the fuck is wrong with you? Did you not even read her story in full?

I think a lot of us reading/commenting/giving stars are or were Catholic ourselves, and honestly I do think that changes things a little - we're not ripping apart people who believe as much as ripping apart the institution. Trying to attract twitter followers on the basis of granting an indulgence, when any critical…
