If only the world were as black and white as you think it is. Oftentimes "psychos" will not reveal their true intentions. They will hide behind a facade and only start showing true colours after they have gained trust and emotional connection with their victim. In addition if mental disorders were so easy to detect

I read that forum and let me say it was educated arguing with ignorants. They do not understand basic human psychology and beyond that they do not understand the reality of the cycle of abuse. It's like they lead these sheltered, privileged lives and cannot even conceive of how one would get into or stay in an abusive

Marital Rape is no laughing matter. If she lived in Canada (depending on where she's from) she could have him charged. Perhaps she is in denial about it or is one of those types that thinks if you're married you can't be raped? Both alternatives suck though. Let's hope if she ever comes to terms with what happened she

Please tell me you are being sarcastic and not trying to compare humans to keys and locks? I have to ask because, well, many idiots do legitimately. Comparing apples and keys. o_o

I cannot speak for the 2000s, but I have noticed that many women only care about sex, clothes, gossip, reality tv, new tech devices, etc. And these topics when discussed at an over abundant monotony on social media networks get a lot of praise and attention from females and males alike. As such I cannot relate to the

Thanks for clarifying. It seems the writers here do not understand how to interpret and communicate study findings. Which is weird since where I study they taught us that in 1st year intro course. Jezebel should hire better authors to write about scientific findings, CLEARLY.

I always find it unusual and kind of ridiculous when I tell people that my ethnicity is Eastern European and they're like taken aback. Then instead of taking my word for it ask REALLY?! I mean WTF? yes! I think I know my own cultural background better than some stranger and the notions they have in their head. And why

Just wondering did you mean colourism? Or are you saying light skinned people of lower socioeconomic status should be complimented differently?

In regards to your side note same experience (minus the alcoholism) and add in a supposed subtle "accent" (it's not ancestral it is derived from the neighbourhood I grew up in). People always ask where I'm from and I laugh it off and make a game of it and have them guess which 90%+ of the time is wrong.
I feel if I was

Personally if my partner if any partner made me feel lousy for my body or body hair I would tell him directly. If he still kept saying stuff and made me self-conscious I'd dump him. Negative reinforcement is a killer to self-esteem and confidence. And what if it starts with minor things like this and just escalates—

Agreed! People rarely guess I am Polish because of my dark eyes and dark hair. Here in Canada there seems to be an archetype of what a Polish person should look like as well. So for many if you do not fit the blonde eyes blue/green eyes look you must have a different ethnicity!

I hope you know there are different branches of feminism (similar to how there are many sects of Christianity). There is radical feminism, liberal feminism, ecofeminism, Marxist feminism, socialist feminism, womanism, etc. etc. So the articles are reflective of different ideologies of feminism depending on which one

Actually that would not solve this specific situation AT ALL since this was a ceremony, possibly held after school hours. The uniforms would not be worn at that event regardless. So this vile woman would still have the opportunity to exploit and objectify the young female teens for the purposes of her lousy blog.

Well let me tell you the clothing is not the core issue. The issue is that the fashion industry and marketers and advertisers have found a way to make the sexualization of women profitable at larger age brackets. If provocative clothing was not offered to adult women do you truly think they would venture to selling

Wasn't it said that she did this experiment in an empty field with her friend at 7am BEFORE school started. So the only ones potentially in harms way was herself, the friend and staff that were at the school within close distance that early. Don't be so melodramatic she did NOT set off a dangerous bomb in a public

LOL @ rogue-like charm. Subjective much?

Don't feed the MRA troll SimicCharm.
