I suspect she just isn’t too bright. People mistake her talent for intelligence. 

Thank you so much. I really wish we as a profession could find a way to truly address this kind of man, but as a woman they are extremely difficult to work with effectively. Considering the ones I’ve seen are probably the ones most open to changing, that’s pretty scary. The truly dangerous ones would probably never…

If I had to guess, I’d say it has to do with their own incredible ambivalence. You ask in your other question why they’re aren’t seeing a male therapist, which they definitely should be (although let’s pray they don’t happen upon the wrong male therapist). I can say with some confidence it has to do with them being…

The unfortunate thing is, you probably have clients you actually like as people, and the “incel” type men have no idea what distinguishes them from a kind, respectful, likable man. 

Yes, I have, and it’s unfair. Plenty of men are misogynists even though they are not incels. 

I have even run into this as a mental health professional, although nowhere near as often as sex workers, I’m sure. A very small percentage of men resent that I’m charging for something they feel entitled to have for free (a female who listens and empathizes). 

As far as I can tell, incels either don’t typically choose to visit sex workers, or it doesn’t do anything to alleviate the problem if they do. I believe part of the reason is that sex isn’t what they really need, but a part of it is also that they aren’t willing to pay for something they feel entitled to get for…

That is delicious.

Totally agree. He subtly but firmly flat out refused. 

I don’t mind gate checking my bag, aside from the fee. Considering it’s more convenient for everyone if I’m not lugging all my stuff onto the plane with me, checking my bag should be free, and there should be a fee for carrying it around with me and inconveniencing everyone except myself. 

I’ve never paid any attention to Moby, but the episode of Heavyweight featuring him was disturbing to me. Two white men fighting over the music of a bunch of Black people in the south, who aren’t ever really mentioned.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Moby basically refused to give his friend his CDs back, even though they…

Yes, and sleeping in a dorm room at 33? That’s another level. 

I’d be sad if one of my children if they lost anything if it was important to them and could be of some help to them in the future. But if they lose, they will always lose to someone who has an advantage over them in some way. Taller. Smarter. More driven. More talented. Or, yes, different hormone levels. We’re not on…

She was imprisoned for three days, with no end in sight, for failing to use her turn signal when she thought she was pulling over for an emergency vehicle. She had a history of depression. She’d very likely lost her new job - what is she supposed to say? “Sorry, I didn’t show up for my first day of work. I was in…

Being a rich ex who stays home and knits sounds like heaven.

I think what’s worse is that she probably really believes wealth and privilege have nothing to do with it. That pervasive lack of gratitude for all the advantages she has is symptomatic of that toxic law of attraction mindset that most people seem to have, to some extent. 

I came here to mention this. No one should ever think of her husband without thinking of this, and the same should be true for her as long as she’s with him. 

Didn’t she also marry and breed with a man who cut off his daughter because she was raped by his friends? And navel gazes about how she hurt him to this day, but at least he learned those guys weren’t really his friends?

Someone didn’t get in because these rich kids did. There’s no way of knowing for sure it was her son, and I’m sure no one will confirm it, but it could have been. 

I’m disgusted with what they did to get their idiot daughter into college, but if my child’s “passion” was buying shit and taking pictures of herself with it, I’d be encouraging her to figure something else out, too.
