It’s a scene from Overboard.

That was my first thought. Men like him almost never think it's okay for *women* to be fat.

This is the first thing I thought of, too.  I’m glad somebody else knows it :P

Sure, I’d wear them again (though I never had the Steve Madden ones, just variations from cheaper brands, mostly Target). 

I’m so confused. Why would his friend writing a book about a woman (?) be something for her to get angry about in the first place? I feel like there’s a huge chunk missing, here.

I wonder if they think it’s cute, like the whole “women who don’t know they’re beautiful (until a man tells them)” trope that a lot of dudes seem to be into.

I work in a store that just got some scrunchies in and I think of this every time I look at them.

THIS, absolutely. With as litigious and vengeful as he is, he would make her life hell if she left. And she does have a fairly young child to consider, as well. Maybe she figures putting up with Donald’s ill treatment (because I have no doubt he’s shitty to her) is worth making sure her kid gets what he needs. Maybe…

Buffy is the most recent thing I watched on Netflix, too.

A+ comment. I guffawed.

Frankly, I care so little for his opinion that I can’t even think of anything. And I tried.

I think I’d feel better if he suffered for a very long time, instead.

“I’m giving away many years of my life.”

To that, I’m afraid I can’t think of anything more eloquent to say than FUCK YOU.

I agree. The implication of getting such a tattoo right after a break-up is that you’re forgetting your “old” life and building a “better” one. So there’s definitely good reason to read an insult into it.

Oh, my goodness. Yes. She was so wonderful and nuanced in Juno.

Also sounds like a euphemism for “vagina”.

Not gonna lie, I laughed at the “Do you know who that song’s really about?” line. The rest of it...no. I’m kind of embarrassed for everyone involved. I felt like the “modern” references were trying waaaaay too hard to prove that something that was NEVER cool (the original series) somehow IS.

That’s what I figured she meant. Or that there was a language issue and she meant she wouldn’t want to go through motherhood again.

That struck me as a dismissive non-answer, not an honest one. Can you imagine the shitstorm he’d aim at her if she said anything else? I’d probably keep my real opinion to myself, too, in her case, just to be left the fuck alone.

Same! I’ll probably buy one when I’m less broke.
