I don’t understand how warning people before you discuss things that are likely to be triggering to trauma survivors with PTSD gets in the way of academic freedom. Freedom of speech is about the freedom to speak, not the freedom to be listened to even by people who will be forced to relive their traumas by what you’re…

Lemme start with: Dirt Bag often gets a decent helping of “who?” in the comments. And then we scream at the neighbor’s kids to get off our lawn.

Alright! Same sex orgies!

honestly though, would you be a feminist if there were a million think pieces bashing you in the name of feminism every time you did anything?

For shame. This is the most victim blamey piece of nonsense I’ve seen.

It is hard to recognize your boyfriend as a piece of shit when you have a father like that. The whole situation is terrible.

God if my heart didn’t just break for Lilo. Her parents are degenerate scum. I hope she find the strength to leave her piece of shit boyfriend.

No woman can be hit and stay with that person if that person isn’t prepared to say sorry.

Without her he would be everyone’s favorite history professor at The University of Arkansas.

How about her association with Bill slowed her down, taking her progress off-track while she supported his ambitions?

• Bill and Hillary Clinton are driving in the country near Hillary’s hometown. They are low on fuel, so Bill stops at a gas station. The man at the gas station comes out and looks into the window.”Hey, Hillary! We used to date in high school, do you remember me?” he asks.They talk merrily for a few minutes. Bill pays,…

No. If she hadn’t married Bill Clinton her life trajectory would have been different, but it’s not as though she wasn’t already political and making big political plans for herself before they married. Other women have become senators and sec. of state without being married to a former president, there’s no reason to…

Yeah, I remember Michael Phelps’ coach getting all the credit for his medals. Oh, wait...

You know what? I survived SERIOUS, life-threatening domestic violence for years at the hands of my now ex-wife. (I’m a lesbian) And yet, somehow, I manage to never derail conversations about dangerous men (who appear to be very likely engaging in domestic abuse) with “women can be bad guys too!” I know that better…

That's not what's happening here.

....do not on the whole have a disproportionate advantage in physical strength over their intimate partners.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Unfortunately that was only a 4.3 on the 10-point scale of messed-up shit you will hear about female athletes at the olympics in 2016.

I overheard a male commentator during the men’s gymnastics podium training ask a female commentator if she “liked what she saw” in the most obvious, creepy way possible. She did a good job of pivoting it to a critique of his performance after a startled pause, but damn. Get it together Olympics commentators.

Everything else aside, doesn’t it seem like a terrible idea to be married to your coach at an Olympic level? How can a relationship handle that kind of external strain?

Men who throw/hit/kick things when they’re angry scare the shit out of me. All I can imagine is being alone in a room with someone like that, and how I would feel if they lost their temper.
