It gets even better/worse after that O.o

It seems to be victim-blaming to a violent extreme. Since habitual abusers typically don't take responsibility for their own actions, then it follows that they'd believe their partners brought other people's abuse on themselves, as well as their own. I've especially noticed this with sexual assault, where the abuser…

Wow...I hadn't thought of it that way. That really puts it in perspective.

Yes. You shouldn't be afraid of a partner even 10% of the time.

She looks SO much like him. Oh, man.

I had a bagel with a big ol' pile of cream cheese this morning. Aww yeeaaahh.

He is/was an actor (Drum Line was his big debut).

How do you figuratively cry?

Yes. I'd never thought of putting it that way before, but, YES. That's the difference in a nutshell.

Sounds like a plan!

Many, many years ago I saw a magazine picture of Vanilla Ice wearing a pair of denim shorts with a picture of himself on them. The caption was something about it making him even sleazier, something like that. I don't remember. But I just looked all over for that photo (no luck so far), because I think of it every…

I don't know who that is, but that's lovely.

Yes, this. It actually gives me chills.

Agreed. And then the same people who think our endless yakking is silly and frivolous are often the ones who complain about not knowing "what women want", or about things being sprung on them, or whatever. Dude, she probably TOLD you all these things while you were tuning her out!

I should elaborate: I wouldn't throw anyone under a bus, but I also wouldn't just stand by and pretend something I think is wrong is right, especially if someone is being hurt. Part of my aforementioned loyalty to myself is to try my best to live with ethics and integrity.

Nope. I'm loyal to people I care about, but my first loyalty is to myself.

No, silly! Only MEN are entitled to the sex act of their choosing. Didn't you see the one about anal?

Yes—that one, I agree with!
