This needs more stars. You are preaching here.

Here’s the deal though: your marriage can be whatever you want it to be. If you don’t want a man to give you a ring, don’t let that happen. You also can be in a long-term/for the rest of your life monogamous relationship without asking the county to stamp a piece of paper so you can file your taxes.

Girl... what. you. said.

Tell it, sister!

I actually stuck through it because I knew at some point she would contradict herself. And she did.

Let’s send our well-wishes to the person who actually needs it in this situation: his abused girlfriend.

Another piece of shit loser.

So true about the only when boys are threatened. That Mike Huckabee still gets any press after defending that admitted Duggar assaulter shows that there’s less concern when girls (even white girls) are violated.

I’m not here for excusing that kind of past behavior - no matter how much of a hit Stevie Wonder had. In my case, I still deal with misogynoir as do most Black women. What you may think didn’t matter at 15, matters heavily in how people who are now in their 40s have moved about in the world. It also matters in how…

That is awful. I’m so sorry.

True. I look back at a couple of places I worked earlier on in my career and I don’t know if it was age or fear or both, but there were several times I should have just marched right into HR. In the field I was in, people openly talked about the shit that went down, so there would have been plenty of witnesses. For…

And her Stanford tuition was tied up in all of this. I guess she just should’ve done what Ivanka’s brother said she’d do in that situation: quit as soon as it happens.

This made me laugh so loud and so long that I remembered to log in once I got back from my mom’s house today just to reply to you. I completely agree. I’m from Los Angeles and live in the South now. That means I get a lot of you’re not from around here comments because of my colorful wardrobe and use of unique…

I think that speaks more to a lack of maturity and need to objectify - rather than the times. I’m their age and I was disgusted when someone said that shit to me back in the day.

I’ve never liked this guy - from way back to the Sprite or 7Up ad. From the moment I heard he admitted singing Jungle Fever to Paula Patton when he first met her, he creeped me out.

Restraining orders and domestic violence protection orders aren’t easily given. So, my guess is they’ve probably always been there. He appears to be a classically controlling man who isn’t getting his way with his ex and didn’t get his way when she left him. They met when they were around 14 and, if he was gaslighting…

You just know his wife is treated like utter shit. And since he openly defines her place as being in the home and secondary to him, I’m guessing her two sons also treat her like shit.

Excellent!

This made me laugh out loud.

I was going to write the same thing.
