Creeps like ThereGoesTheNeighborhood like teens because they hope that since they are young and inexperienced they are much easier to manipulate than an adult. On top of that TGTN likes to pretend feminists are baaaaad, when really he's just a creepy, nasty misogynist.

Ummm, sorry (well, I am not sorry at all) those of us who have worked retail and / or food services have to deal on occasion with entitled, rude jackasses. In my experience most customers were fine, and asked reasonable questions. But there is a certain subset of the population that is ignorant and arrogant. And…

Honey, did you miss the part where some of these women had their real names and addresses posted along with their photos? I dunno if you are aware of this but there are a lot of violent, twisted motherfuckers out there who love to harrass, stalk and rape. And posting that info can put WOMEN'S LIVES IN DANGER. …

Yeah. Besides, I rather thought people liked to mix it up a bit - some days missionary, some days cowgirl, etc etc. (Me I am happy so long as my stupid left hip joint doesn't act up. Stupid, stupid cranky hip joint!!)

This happened in Brazil, and as mentioned upthread in the Brazilian media at least the victim was slut shamed for participating in orgies. And, double standard, no one seemed to care (much less slut shame) the murderer for participating in same.

Exactly. Nice to see where the priorities of the Brazilian legal system and the Flamengo team are. Letting out a vicious, homicidal psychopath out of jail (even supervised) versus an activity involving kicking a black and white ball around a field. Well, it's nice they know where there priorities are. Yeah. Real…

OMG fortheloveofbeets I get crazy hungry in those couple of days before my period too. I thought that was just me! hah, funny.

d00d, that is not what she said. Reading Comprehension Fail!

Oh please no. Like we need more white folks puttin' on the redface and playing Hollywood western Pretendian. baaaaaaaaarrrrf.

Yeah. Or google the Tina Anderson case. For the short version: Tina's family were members of an Independent Fundamental Baptist church (purity culture on steroids!). At 15 she was raped by a man from a family she babysat for (and he was a member of the same church). She got pregnant. The church pastor forced her…

That's nice, but what would be nicer is if these faith-based groups would follow their own faith's rules about not bearing false witness. Yeah. That would be awesome.

Yes, yes, most of the commenters here already know there are nonbatshit homeschoolers out there, so I don't think you need to feel so defensive. Surely you have noticed however that homeschooling materials and conferences out there are dominated by fundamentalist Christians - mainly those tied to Dominionist,…

Hahaha, I am so old not only did we have rotary phones, but we lived in a rural area and our phone line was a party line. Anybody else grow up with that?

Vanessa, it sounds like your testosterone levels rose (cuz ovaries actually do produce small amts of T). I don't know all the different medical conditions that cd cause that, but PCOS is one. When I was younger & on BCP, my T levels go down to normal for women. When I was off it, I had oilier skin, thicker body…

Here is an interesting perspective from someone who conducts interviews in child abuse cases:http://quadcitypat.blogspot.com/2014/02/an-inv…

The people behind the movie aren't just ordinary conservative Christians, they are extremists affiliated with Christian patriarchy, dominionist and Christian Reconstructionism (these guys are the ones who think slavery and stoning people for 'offenses' out of Leviticus are totally cool).

True, moms did not always get custody 'in the bad old days'. My dad died last month (at age 89) & I was going thru family files. He'd collected some interesting/horrifying papers about his parent's divorce back in 1927. His parents split when he was a toddler (and it was ugly). His dad petitioned for custody…

OW geez I see some women on this thread have had some really painful experiences. I was lucky - no episiotomy, no real tears (I only needed 2 stitches as I recall after daughter and afterbirth were out). While pushing (which in total took an hour) he was working on gently stretching the vaginal entrance/perineum…

"Jesus was a Christian"...so that means he worships himself...isn't that terribly narcissistic? I'm thinking these fundiegelicals haven't quite thought that one through, but of course they haven't cuz otherwise they wouldn't be fundiegelicals.

That's interesting. Maybe 'blackfish' to refer to killer-whales was something unique to the Pacific Northwest. And I say 'was' because I don't hear people refer to them with that name today - only by the words killer whale and orca. I have seen the term 'blackfish' used in some historical records in western OR of…
