As someone who was... I never really know the words for it... date-sexually assaulted (not penetration rape, but he took all my clothes, held me down, yelled at me, tried to pry my arms and legs open, and I managed to get away) I know the "wanting to talk" feeling. I was dating this guy, very causally- but dating. We…

If the child resulting from this "3 parent" embryo is a female, it will pass on the mitochondrial DNA of the cell donor-mother to all of its' offspring. The mitochondrial DNA of the genetic mother (i.e. the one who contributed her genes and not just the egg cell that holds them) will never be passed on to the child…

Obviously Khoza didn't deserve to have acid thrown on his penis

I don't feel bad for him at all, and honestly, I think this is down-playing his criminal activity. He filmed their sexual encounter without her consent, he manufactured child pornography, and quite possibly the worst part is that he lied to her about using a condom. That's really fucked up. And if a man ever did all…

It actually bothers me that I am not bothered by the retribution. Because I know its wrong. It is always wrong. I will not condone what this girl did. But I am not outraged by it either. And that is not a good thing. I have been so jaded by the countless acts of sexual violence towards women and the lack of justice…

if only all child pornagraphers could have acid thrown in their genitals. Probably shouldn't be my takeaway but well, there it is.

The resulting child would, if she conceived and carried a child, pass on the donor's mitochondria. (Incidentally, the portion of the sperm cell that enters the egg doesn't have any mitochondria — those stay behind in the tail — which is why they're only transmitted mother-to-child.) The faulty ones never get passed on…

wow guys, didn't realize we were still into the "demon whore bitch gold digger wife" idea. I don't disagree that it looks bad, but everyone involved has the right to challenge the way the will is being executed, and that she wants money to renovate the house her husband killed himself in is the furthest thing from…

Yeah, didn't realize people here were so hung up on the "demon bitch gold digger whore wife" thing. No one looks nice here- and with legal shit, everyone involved has every right to dispute, AND I think her interpretation that Robin did not intend for the home they shared to be stripped of his belongings and that he…

I'm sorry but honestly, she choose him. She had her own demons and he wasn't RESPONSIBLE for them. We talk about how women shouldn't bear the brunt of men having to control themselves and women aren't the keepers of male sexuality here all the time. And I 100% agree with that sentiment. On the flip side, a woman's…

She is not 'parading around,' she is walking. You know, as human beings are wont to do.

You do realize the idea that some people don't deserve a fair trial is a common first step on the long, horrible path toward genocide?

When she got to that door and unlocked the last lock, I was thinking damn, that's too bad it's going to end so soon ... It could go at least another 2 episodes. And then surprise! It probably will! I mean, come on, Olivia ... Everyone knows you don't trust the cowardly prisoner.

And lots of parents who wanted kids—sometimes desperately—turn out to be shitty parents. What's your point?

According to TMZ, Tamika Fuller (pictured above on the far right) says the rapper-cum-actor initially wanted her to abort their daughter Cai Bridges when she told him she was pregnant. Fuller says he "offered her $10,000 and a house if she lost the baby."

Yeah... I'm having trouble being even mildly upset about this.

That's enough internet for today. I'm out. Good bye y'all, I'll remember you all in therapy.

I'm a social worker,too and have been since the early 90's. Interestingly, it seems that real social workers are often a bit more hard assed than the average commenter here because we have actually worked with people who do not do the best they can or take advantage of resources that are made available to improve…

I wish I could give you more stars. I love how any time you disagree with someone it MUST be because you are oh so privileged and don't know what you are talking about. It's also getting close to time to retire the word 'privilege' altogether because it's quickly becoming a buzzword that people throw out to discredit…

agreed. I almost never come down on the side of taking the children away because the foster care system sucks. But in this case-it needed to happen yesterday. Of course we can by sympathetic that she is most likely also a victim of abuse but that doesn't mean she isn't responsible for the welfare of her kids. Her…
