I'm not sure what his point is. Being opposed to domestic violence against women is not discriminatory against men, like being opposed to violence against children is not discriminatory against adults.

Wait, so it isn't that peeing before sex causes UTIs, rather it is not peeing after p in v sex that causes it. But if you truly have to pee, won't sex with a full bladder be uncomfortable and not worth it. Feels like another way to make straight ladies worry about sex rather than enjoy it.

I would have stuck my fingers in my vagina and painted fuck you with period blood on the wall, but I'm an animal.

OK, what the holy Fuck is it going to take for the general populace of this Goddamn country to decide the police state and jail-complex is utterly out of its fucking mind? Holy Christ I know there's a chunk that will be all tough and say "what do you expect, she's going to visit a felon/criminal," but seriously, it's…

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, it's great that someone is shining a light on the conditions these women have to work in. On the other, does it have to be done in this voyeuristic, poverty tourism way? Why couldn't we just do a documentary about the women of Cambodia? Why do we need the hook of pretty…

Props to Ms. Aniston for coming forward as a person with dyslexia. I teach kids with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. It really helps to be able to tell them about successful people who have LD. Almost makes up for her using the R-word that one time. Yes, I keep track of that shit.

I wonder, too, if the complete disregard for the humanity of any of those children led them to see it as "what they deserved" as well (similar to the attitude about burying Captain Shaw with his troops during the Civil War).

Thank you for articulating this. There were no "good old days" or "simpler times". I argue this with my 60+ parents and Inlaws as delicately as I can. They were children at the time, so the cruel realities of the world were submerged beneath their niavete. The 50s and 60s: where you could see a flick for less than a…

These schools are still running strong. Watch Kidnapped for Christ, look up Tranquility Bay or Casa by the Sea. Look at Rob Lichtfield and what he's done. #breakingcodesilence

This is fascinating, great interview. The fact that in the Jim Crow South the graves weren't segregated suggests to me just how furtive the WHOLE deal was. If even post-mortem integration had been known about, people would have been up in arms. This really demonstrates the limits of what bones can and can not tell us.…

God, this happened so much in so many different places. In Ireland, in England, in America. There's never any way to make anyone responsible pay for what they did to these children. There's just bones to uncover and lies to untangle. There's never any justice.

Exactly. And when you do give one example you sound petty and ridiculous because for me, at least, it was never one big thing like being hit or abused, but a million tiny little psychological hits like being forgotten at my piano lesson or being made to feel guilty for needing glasses or a ride to the dentist. …

I've also seen generation x defined as early sixties to early eighties. Fritopie1 sounds like a good egg. I say we let her in.

This. Without fail.

This has been one of the most therapeutic pieces I have read in a long time. My sister and I are estranged from our mother and when people hear of this they usually paint us as spoiled children. "But that's your MOTHER!" they say. No matter that she was and is an abusive psycho who both my sister and I tried our…

Or my personal favorite:

"When something, or more specifically,someone, no longer supports the view you have of yourself "

I have some experience dealing with someone (not a parent) who is so willfully disconnected from reality that they just don't understaaaaaand why you're upseetttttt what did they do wronnnnng can't we talk about it? And fine, you summon your backbone and your patience and you explain it clearly and simply. And your…

Vagnoni is 56, a few years older than I am (I'm at the boom's end.). When she writes about the ideas boomers have about how parents should be treated, I have to laugh. Boomers treated their parents like garbage. They had tons of advantages. The kind no group before or since had.

"They accuse me of being a terrible person, but won't elaborate about exactly what I've done. Well, sometimes they do, but it doesn't make sense, at least to me."
