FUCK.

I think it took me way too long to finally really value myself and my right to pleasure, and now I’m mad as hell that I’ve had to fake it or go without because too many men weren’t taught or didn’t give a shit about the other half of their sexual experiences. I mean, if I see one more video of some woman pretending to…

Seriously, this is my marriage right now. He has gotten really fucking lazy, and he leaves the porn he watches after I go to bed up on MY LAPTOP ( so passive-aggressive!) and it’s the kind of shit where there is no way the lady is getting off. I would rather handle business myself these days. I long for selfish woman…

Aw thanks. I have a great therapist and my husband’s mom is the mom I never had and always wanted. I’ve got it pretty good now :)

Sometimes- I had a bummer time trying to get gum out of my daughter’s hair when she was little and the PB just wasn’t cutting it. Luckily it was stuck near the ends so chopping it off wasn’t that big of a deal.

I love this! I have never heard it. Thank you :)

She really, really is. She’s got to be 40 on the inside.

Damn. :(

Oh my god is that why?! I’ve never understood that.

Yeah, I’m 150 , 5’4” and a solid size 10. Is she really tall?

I’m conflicted. I have every intention of buying my daughter a gift certificate to Good Vibrations when she turns 15 or so. I want her to feel comfortable talking with me about sex stuff and I want her to feel safe and unashamed of her sexuality.

Actually, yeah it could. Do you really think that this was the one and only time her father violated her bodily autonomy or humiliated her? Having a parent that you cannot trust, that does not show you respect and that behaves abusively towards you is enough to want OUT.

You get them therapy. You don’t hit, humiliate, or make threats of violence. Kids who are acting out in inappropriate ways have emotional problems that need to be addressed.

YES. I think there are a lot of parents and people in general) who grew up in moderately abusive homes and because it wasn’t severe, after school special abuse, they see it as a normal upbringing and perpetuate those behaviors. Breaking the cycle of abuse is tough when people don’t see how fucked up it was.

My kids don’t need to die for me to talk about another parents’s abusive actions.

My mom did that, too. But my dad WAS raping and beating me, so at the time I thought maybe I should take my chances. Then she said I would never see my brother again, and I stayed for another decade just to make sure he was okay. Then my brother turned into the same monster my dad was/is and I left, never to see any…

Nope. In what situation is chopping off another person’s hair against their will a fair and reasonable punishment?

Yeah I feel pretty comfortable going after the dad because chopping someone’s hair off against their will or for “punishment” would be because they got crazy with gum and you can’t get it out- otherwise, that is a punishment that in no way fits the “crime” and invades a person’s bodily autonomy. I do think that was…

I’m so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you.

I cried really hard through the whole thing. I’m finishing up Lean In and crying through the last chapters, knowing what came next. I’m not usually super emotional about people I don’t know, but god, my heart is just broken for her.
