I posted this on Groupthink a few days ago, but it sounds vaguely like she was afraid of what he would do if she didn't go along with his requests.

I just read the whole "letter" twice, and I have only one question:
How long do you think it took her to type that, given all the pearls she was clutching?
"Did you answer a job advertisement in the paper?"
Ok, agree with your points about abortion being talked about as a "difficult yet pragmatic" decision and a "completely legitimate option" is definitely a great thing - open discussions on issues like this are signs of "social progress".
It's insane how there has been an explosion of published and repackaged Twilight fanfiction. I nearly bought one yesterday that sounded interesting before I saw an Amazon review that said it had started out life as another Bella and Edward fic. For fuck's sake, publishing. This needs to stop. Twilight itself was…
Diana Nyad is badass. I think this whole thing is kinda crazy, but I am biased against most things that take me off the couch for more than a couple hours.
The "hissy fit" stuff with Dave Chappelle is pissing me off. You can think it was a bad way to handle hecklers if you want, but everything I've seen indicates that he was calm and in fairly good humor about it until he left the stage. That isn't a hissy fit, it's a calculated strategy for dealing with disruptive…
This lady is taking fingerbanging to a whole new level.
Little people tying me down and invading my body?
Lady Godiva, or possibly Catherine the Great.
A racist blonde chick whose name is an anagram of Aryan? You don't say.
You don't need a white asshole. You ARE a white asshole.
Oh my god. Do you all think Liam's been trying to break up with Miley this whole time and, much like her parents, he can't get away because she threatens to spill all his dirty laundry to the tabloids? Oh my god.
It´s a wedding. I doubt when they were doing the invites they had a fixed quota of different ethnicities to include, since, you know, that´s not generally how people work out invitations. Also, the same people seem to crop up a lot so perhaps it was family and immediate friends only. It doesńt mean that the couple…
That 3rd pose is EVERYTHING. I am so tired of that pigeon toed slack jawed, open mouthed, "broken doll" shit. I hope more celebrities adopt something like this. It's empowering to see.
My thoughts as well. And did they do this early so everyone was sober? Because the shit I'd pull drunk in a video booth alarms me.
“Even when you are looking like your normal self, people keep asking you: ‘Why are you frowning?’”
A fraternity in my college town hosted a "Back to the Womb" party, which was as gross as it sounds. They lined a basement with old mattresses, then covered them in a thick layer of oatmeal and red jello and something else...maybe cool whip or whipped cream? People slid down a chute into the mess and groped about to…
"I was not expecting her to be putting her butt that close to my son," says Robin Thicke's bewildered mom. [NYDN]
