Would that business be the entertainment industry or the pedophilia industry? Answer: both.

Where we disagree is that he was not the only aggressor. He might have gone way further than she did, but she was acting in an aggressive, violent way, too. I agree with you that we need to protect and encourage victim voices, and that in the vast majority of cases assigning blame or cause to the victim is…

Like minds think great. ;)

You had me at "drown."

I've made a point of saying that I'm not quantifying or comparing the two. They are both forms of violence, full stop. They are both unacceptable, full stop. Clearly hitting anyone hard enough to knock them out is more significant, serious, and troublesome than a slap, but my goal isn't to create any kind of…

You're being purposefully obtuse, so feel free to shut the fuck up. I've said many times that they two actions are not equal and she should not have been retaliated against at all, but that she had no place been physically or emotionally abusive. His escalation does not absolve her actions, nor do her actions absolve…

Even after SHE reached for HIS phone first, according to both of their stories and the security footage? He may have been disrespectful and rude, but she is owning her side of the altercation. Not every abusive relationship is abusive from both sides but this one seems to be. His behavior does not make her behavior…

Please show me where it says she "lightly" slapped him and explain why one form of violence is acceptable in response from a woman, but unacceptable as a response from a man.

Oh, I see, so it's okay for a woman to retaliate but not a man.

I don't think anyone is saying she deserved what she got, or that it's her fault that he hit her. She is to blame, however, for her actions, and her actions were also abusive, physically violent, and unacceptable. There is no reason why retaliation should involve a physical attack on either side unless there is reason…

There is no level of physical violence that isn't abuse. You've clearly missed my entire point. What she did was unacceptable. His reaction was also unacceptable. I am not making quantitative comparisons between different forms of violence or saying she deserved what he did to her. The two were not equal. If she was…

This. This this this. I've tried to explain this to some friends who have done really shitty things under the guise of "welp I was drunk sooooo". If you weren't capable of at least thinking it sober, you wouldn't be capable of doing it drunk. Being inebriated might be a reason, or part of a reason, why you do…

A mutually abusive interaction (or relationship) can have multiple abusers and multiple victims. What he did was unacceptable. What she did was unacceptable as well. Him hurting her worse in no way removes the responsibility of her actions prior to the event in the same way that her attacking HIM in no way removes…

Does Danondorf sign autographs, though?

Can't you hear me yell-a!

Considering these are all Planeswalkers...

I'm sure you'll oscillate between the two and constantly be told you're "really" a fan of the dealership you're at.

Call it Jodie Forester.

You get a Happy Meal with them.

Oh, he's gorgeous, now and then, Fat!Angel is just specifically the period of Buffy where he was at his chubbiest, especially in the face.
