That play that you just described was, by far, the most heartbreaking moment in my 36 years as a Philadelphia sports fan. Your comment was like reading somebody saying “Yeah I think the greatest moment of my life was watching SammyDavisEyes’ mom getting shot in the fucking face.”

Pro-tip: read the fucking thread before you chime in. I’m done responding to these.

Yeah, I can’t imagine why women don’t go for such a Nice Guy™️ like you.

Yeah, considering you’re like the 8th person to misread it, I obviously wasn’t being as clear as I thought I was. Although, by the same token, I’d argue we’re also all occasionally guilty of projecting our own intentions onto someone else’s words. So who knows. It’s the limitations of text-based communication.

Read my other comments in this thread. You missed the point.

I’ve already addressed this like 6 fucking times. I was NOT comparing a fucked-up encounter to a long-term abusive relationship. I was drawing a parallel between the OP’s clueless comment and the type of stereotypical clueless comment you hear dudes drop when they hear about a woman being in an abusive marriage. Both…

Far be it from me to tell someone how to run a women’s shelter, but it seems like blaming women for the situations they find themselves in - situations perpetrated by an abuser - is maybe not the most sensitive reaction to someone’s traumatic experience.

You also missed the part where I was clearly comparing the stereotypical clueless dude reactions to those two situations, and not the situations themselves. But I guess that doesn’t support the narrative you’ve apparently settled on.

The situations are absolutely not equivalent, but the clueless, simplistic reactions are. Which was my point.

I wasn’t trying to compare the two situations, I was comparing the “clueless dude” reactions to those two different situations. As in, clueless dude who asks “why didn’t she just leave?” in this situation, as though it were just that simple, is probably the type to say “why didn’t she just leave?” in reference to an…

What is there to explain? You’re either willing to consider someone else’s experiences, or your not.

That’s incredibly awful and I’m so sorry that happened to you.

Oh Jesus Christ COME ON. “Why didn’t she simply walk out?” Yeah, and, like, why don’t abused women just leave their husbands? It’s just that simple, right?

Considering you deliberately baited that specific response, yes, I imagine it did.

Have you seen him lately? He’s getting there.

The message doesn’t say anything about legal action because Fogerty got fucked by his label and his bandmates and doesn’t own the rights to Creedence’s music.

Well that definitely sounds great, but I think you and I both know that won’t ever be the case unless and until we move past a winner-take-all system.

Motherfucker, whose life has been derailed by murky, anonymous, since-deleted accusations? If this is a trend, as you appear to be implying, you should have no problem rattling off a list of names right now.

“And even if they did, there would probably be a serious third party challenge for once.”

Personally speaking, I’ll vote for literally fucking anyone who runs against him. But I’m already gearing up for the inevitable rage fest where everyone left-of-center is suddenly a white male, misogynist, racist and needs to get behind whatever empty suit the Dems trot out there, and then in response a big chunk of…
