I wonder whether it might not have been adulterated somehow? And/or whether he was on other medications/psychotropics that may have combined badly?

One of things I hope for most dearly is that the death penalty will be abolished in my lifetime. Not the feckless, useless, piecemeal state by state abolition, but the federal government actually stepping up and saying no more. I hate this shit. It’s WRONG.

Far too little. Get it together, justice system that consistently minimizes the seriousness of gender based violence.

I think the response was just a really strongly worded retort that she isn’t just an animal meant to be bred, as the OP seems to be implying is that is the main purpose of women. I don’t think the commenter thinks women who have children aren't as equal to those who do.

I just took a minute to try to come up with any possible scenario, no matter how out there, in which I would feel like it was my “duty” to reproduce. For a hot second I thought, well what about if in the event of an apocalypse I happened to be the only woman of childbearing age and ability left in the whole world with…

The problem is that people with OP’s mindset have a tendency to push an agenda of “this is how things should be because biology/religion etc” rather than just saying “This works for me and my family, and it’s great! What works for you and your family is great too.”

Oh my God you sound scary. No I do not want to find a man worthy of my submission, LOL. There is no such thing. I just happen to have a very confident, out-spoken personality and my husband, not so much. I have friends who are the opposite. There is no “submission” or “worthiness” involved.

The only thing that suggests we haven’t come a long way is the abdication in earnest of gender responsibilities in the area of biology. There is no reason to believe both genders can’t have fulfilling lives inside and outside the home while still performing duties related to child rearing and provision.

Your comment suggests that we have not come that far at all.

They’ll just spend it all on nail polish and tampons!

Only sons can carry on his family business? Is it operated by using one’s penis to type?

“ Things just went too far and someone got scared”

It’s a good look (also good for shoplifting).

no I know, he is really exceptionally fucking awful. But don’t try to tell me that “normal” men don’t ever look at their daughters and think of them as sexual beings, or possible sexual partners. Donald Trump jokes about this shit. This guy is just on the far-flung fringe of sexualization, he’s not totally off the…

welp this is what happens when we collectively obsess over the sexuality of barely-pubescent girls. Fuck this guy in particular, but fuck the culture that encourages his fucked-uped-ness.

Actually, people can solve individual and social ills thru community. That’s the secret to the success of Self-help support groups like AA.
