This is a great article on dealing with aggression and wild outbursts in young kids without using spanking. The bottom line is kids don't want to act "crazy"; they feel out of control when they do. They have not yet developed parts of their brain to help them regulate themselves. They need our help and our calm but…

"Katy Perry and John Mayer Have Broken Up"

Don't forget about random strangers on the street!

Men are more likely to be victims of violent crime perpetuated by a stranger. Women are more likely to be victims of a violent crime perpetuated by someone they know.

Ok, but I never argued that it can't severely fuck up a person's life. I'm simply saying that it is inaccurate to claim it can severely fuck up a person's life to the point of suicide based on that story. We don't know what "causes" anyone's suicide, and that's all I'm here to say about it.

"It's a pretty reasonable assumption to say he'd have survived the abusive spouse, cheating and divorce. Nearly all people survive that shit."

Where did I say it isn't awful?

Oh just chill the f out. I clearly said in my post that I'm not arguing false rape accusations are not damaging. I'm saying you can't point to that particular story and say that it caused a suicide.

Well, you can still be aware that shit happens and it be an unintentional pregnancy.

oh, perfect. :)

Also, it's not the only way to defend himself.

No one is saying he doesn't have a right to sue her. The advocacy group is just suggesting he not sue her. Which they have the right to do, too.

Wait a second. You don't know what drove this man to commit suicide. Perhaps a history of depression, and/or having been in a relationship with an abusive partner? Who was also cheating on you (regardless of whether or not you consciously knew it)? I'm not saying being falsely accused had nothing to do with his…

Thank you for this.

YES thank you. the "progressiveness" has become a total schtick.

Yes! This. I waitress and just last night these 2 dudes at my table grabbed my arm to spin me around to they could "read the back of my shirt". I wanted to shout "get the fuck off me!" as I'd do to any other random stranger grabbing me like that, but I couldn't b/c they were my customers. I felt like I couldn't even…
