2. The idea that porn is the cause of sexual abuse in church is both laughable and tragic. Just let your pastors, preachers, etc. be sexual. But like, consensually.... with adults.

This. If there’s one thing Republicans do right, it’s understanding the importance of the Supreme Court, and appointing judges in general. They’re damn near obsessed, and for good reason. The Democrats are only now starting to catch on but progressives don’t seem to get that at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if

I have a question for all the Senators: Would you be comfortable knowing that your 15-year-old sister or daughter attended a party with Brett Kavanaugh in 1982?

He will get special treatment. There's no two ways about it.

Diets don’t work because people don’t adhere to them, simple as that.

I’m sorry you have BPD. It’s an extremely hard lot in life. And I do empathize, as I found myself exhibiting some traits after the relationship. It took some time to shake that.

Mean? You haven’t seen mean until you’ve been in a relationship with a borderline. Sorry. The *world* is cold and mean. I desperately wanted this not to be the hard truth, but it is. If you read the boards, every story is damn near identical. Partners try to be supportive, and sacrifice every piece of themselves, only

Yeah, I don’t doubt his ability to be happy in a relationship. It’s his significant other who is likely to bear the brunt of his illness. My mom would say she is happy in all of her relationships but she is manipulative, cruel, unstable, and emotionally abusive and also steadfast in her conviction that everyone else

There is also a danger inherent in normalizing it. It encourages people to stay in abusive relationships with false hopes of recovery. BPD is not your average mental illness. Borderlines, by and large, resist treatment except for when it serves their purpose, and then immediately stop once it is no longer of use. I

My friend’s mom is Swedish. We asked why she doesn’t make Swedish meatballs. She said “Every meatball I make is a Swedish meatball.” It took me a year to get the joke and I was in a meeting when I got it and brayed like a donkey.

1) this is the most thorough, competent conspiracy ever constructed to take down an otherwise affable black man who has done nothing wrong

“I used to support it but its taking down successful black men and I’m not with it.

Okay, kill all white men if it makes you feel better.

Oh, fuck right off. Women have been fighting this fight forever; don’t fucking act like us venting is the same as idiots raping and killing us. Being nice to men doesn’t do shit, we’ve tried that tack. Change requires the so called ‘good men’ to actually get off their asses. How about you stop policing her and go tell

SAME. I mean, not exactly *rejected* because I generally don’t have the stones to proposition men myself, but I rarely get hit on and have never been in a relationship. I’m 24 and have been on 3 dates in my life, two of which were actually just meeting some guy on Tinder. I didn’t see either of them again (mutual- we

I don’t know, if we start excluding some that wouldn’t be fair to the others.

Does the incel community exist to “support”, or to undermine its sad adherents?

The incel ideology terrifies me. Because I’ve been that lonely guy, who was unable to date, who was a virgin until his 30s. I had terrible self esteem, and it took a lot of therapy and self improvement to get to a better place in my life. And believe me, there are so many people out there like me, who feel lonely and

The sense of entitlement incels have is mind-boggling. Do women sometimes feel lonely or attracted to people that don’t like them back? Yes, but we pick up a box set of whatever show we are into and maybe some wine and chocolate. What we don’t do is pick up a gun because we think we deserve that person and go on a

Being a black girl in the school system (anywhere really) is a double whammy- black and female. But these dress codes are also classsist as hell- if you add low income on top of all that?
