Actually I believe the old wisdom is defense attorneys want women who have sons and the prosecutors want fathers who have daughters. Women jurors in rape cases are often harder on the victim than male jurors.

That happened in the U.K. Not that we haven’t had ridiculous verdicts here too.

It’s delightful! Things that would have upset or infuriated me when I was younger often make me laugh now.

Did you see Pretty Baby? I was too young at the time it came out but I saw it a few years ago and was horrified. Not only by the story but that Brooke Shields was allowed to perform in it. The 70's were a time of the pendulum swinging far to allow freedoms and a LOT of mistakes (to put it politely) were made in the…

*fistbump*

Well this story could have had a much more horrible ending so that’s something. When I read things like this it reminds me that when I’m too hard on myself about my shortcomings as a mom, I’m actually doing pretty well.

I get her trying to work through her assault, but she is also putting blame on women in general if they’re dressed a certain way or aren’t 100% sober. So while I feel for her I still think what she said is harmful and stupid.

Assuming these dudes were 1%er bikers and it was the early 70’s ,please consider it was considered chic to hang around them. People didn’t quite realize even post Altamont how hardcore these guys were. There are stories of hippies and college kids inviting them to parties because they thought they were cool, and not…

Or the Jews she turned into the Gestapo? That would be a coveted role I’m sure.

You expressed yourself perfectly clearly, some people (cause hey, internet!) live to nitpick.

I would assume laws vary by state or city. I’m about to go pick my boy up, hopefully he won’t need to bathe in aloe vera tonight!

My son’s day camp will NOT apply sunscreen for the kids, nor will they give them medicines. They told us that at the orentation and reiterated it today because tomorrow they’re off to a water park! He’s almost 8 so I got him a sunblock in spray form and told him to keep his swim shirt on all day. He unlike me who has…

Two, Unity and Diana. Unity was the one who shot herself in the head when Britain declared war on Germany and died in about 1946 from her injuries. Diana was married to Oswald Mosley the leader of the British Fascists. Both were total anti-Semites.

Oh you!

Thank you that comment struck me the same way. Even here there is often disagreement about many topics. This desire for a “hive mind” movement is damaging and damn creepy.

As I watched this I admit, I had to think of all those charmers who go for Russian mail order brides because they think they’re more submissive and docile than Western women. Heh.

This is interesting. I was never much into romance novels though I did love a few pseudo romance dirty books in my teens. The whole thing about the Red Pill/PUA alpha is that it’s SO try-hard. Guys that are alphas, I mean what I consider to be real alphas are very rare and they just ARE there’s no trying. And as far…

Your situation is similar to mine except that my mom was not an older single mom by choice. She and my dad split when I was young, then he died when I was small and she died when I was 13, she was 39. My grandparents raised me and I spent my early 30’s nursing them through their final years. It’s hard but you can…

That's what I got from it too. Some people certainly don't like other people touching their feet etc. and I get that. I get manis regularly and pedis occasionally and I tip very well and treat the people who do it with respect.They are helping me and making my life more pleasant. We chat about our families and know…

It’s great, I think it’s my favorite so far! She’s pretty either way but with the makeup she just looks nicely “finished”, but not overdone at all.
