What happens to these moms who slutshame in defense of their sons? Is it the fierce protectiveness of parenthood that blinds them to the fact that they were once girls too? Is it religion or some other societal or cultural construct that makes them value their sons and defend their behaviors over the wellbeing of…

Look,

This has to be my favorite story. Such a dad thing to do.

I did not cry. I did, however, start to have one hell of a panic attack once it was time for me to walk down the aisle. As I started to wheeze and get dizzy, my father (who was walking me down the aisle) looked at me and just grinned.

This isn’t the least bit creepy to me. Maybe because I’m a mom? The second I read the headline I had the deepest, nauseating heartbreak for that woman. My kid is 5 and if he died... I legitimately think I might have a similar break with reality, lord knows I deal with disassociation and such as it is. I have no, no,…

It sickens me even more that she was saying these things while having knowledge of the fact that a child molester who wasn’t trans, gay, or any of the other sexual minorities she was worrying about living under her roof and being protected and celebrated. These idiots should have never been on the air in the first…

As a trans woman I just enjoyed being continually being called a predator and a molester by Michelle Duggar with hardly one bit of evidence other than her say-so. At times, I just have to wonder why Americans allow such bigoted and dangerous people into their lives and on their TVs. How much fear and violence do I…

But not Hildy’s rooms. Fuck her.

There’s a person in the comments further down familiar with this couple via friends in the area, who says the woman is intellectually disabled. How that affects consent is a more complicated subject than I can tackle without more information and a much longer comment, but it changes how harmless I perceive this :(

That’s a pretty big game-changer, this should be top comment.

I could sort of understand it if it was actually her own wolf but if you have to borrow a wolf then it's probably not the best of plans. I remember when having a pug as a ring bearer was totally out there. What next? Pandas?

The liberal knee-jerk reaction that says “Sure! It’s all okay!” is just as dumb as the conservative knee-jerk reaction that says “No! Never okay! Missionary only!”

Whatever floats your boat. The two of them are getting their kink on, but the general public didn’t consent ahead of time. Healthy practitioners of BDSM frown upon such shenanigans.

Oh FFS. Puppy play is 100% a sexual activity. I’m sorry if all your sexual experiences have left you with the impression that something can’t be innocent, free, AND sexy, but that’s not the case. It’s a kink. And responsible kinksters don’t make innocent bystanders part of their kink.

Dude, it’s a BDSM thing, which makes it sexual. There are places for that sort of thing, it isn’t fair to bring a bunch of public people who haven’t consented into your personal kink.

I don’t think that this is degrading to women or that kink is harmful or whatever. BUT. This isn’t entirely consensual kink.

Disagree. She consented. He consented. The people around her did not consent to help those two people get off. The very fact that they’re in public tells you that it’s the public gratification they’re getting off on. And that’s not okay.

As a kinky person who’s been on precisely that end of a collar and leash, fuck off. That’s rude. Don’t do that in public. It may be consensual on her part, but this is not any different structurally than some dude jerking off on the subway—they’re getting off on the presence of innocent bystanders who have NOT…

I mean, she said that video games shouldn’t be actively sexist, that seems like an incredibly proportionate response.

But, but, but, the bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections one would get from such a ruse!
