I legit grew up with a Mother who had shelves upon shelves of these books in the house. It really made me believe that this was what actual love looks like and it was totally unrealistic. But one day I found it with a extremely nerdy computer sciences genius in university and I married him. Sometimes that love story…

He’s 33!? No way! Spending your time that close to evil really does age someone.

I remember being in grade 9 gym class and our male teacher would keep letting the athletic boys choose the teams for activities. They would pick every boy and then afterwards loudly shout stuff like, “okay whose tits are going to bounce the most today!?” while they laughed and picked the girls. I’ll never forget us…

Totally this! A great day of shopping and gifts followed by, “how about your little one sleep in my room tonight for a sleepover?” would lead to a hard, “HELL NO” from me. But then I would hope I have the wisdom to not accept that sort of spending from anyone either.

You have a good point. One of my best friends is a very pro choice feminist and some of her earliest memories are being forced to hold anti abortion signs by the side of the road. There can be hope.

Bless you for the important work you’re doing. 

This! I used to think she was so cool when I was a teenager.

Totally! I feel like if he’d been like, “Everything these women are saying is ture, I was a totally inappropriate douchebag and misused my influence to commit sexual harassment but I’m extremely sorry and I’m seeking counseling, please don’t let something I did harm their careers.” Then MAYBE he wouldn’t be such a…

She might be using it to feel comfortable moving around after abdominal surgery? 

Exactly. You hit the correlation does not equal causation nail on the head.

I always find it strange when people who are breaking up go on about how they still love each other, have no regrets and are still best friends etc. If that was truly the case you’d think they would still be together.

Totally agree. This seems like a classic case of the law not catching up to the technology. 

Fakest tear wipe in the history of fake tear wipes. 

I think in a lot of cases the couple get trapped in a cycle and don’t want to go through the big life changes of ending it for many reasons. But “it’s for the kids” is the best way to justify this to others and in their own minds. In my experience, claiming the kids well being is your reason to let them live with two…

Came here to say exactly this.

You’re not wrong. Unfortunately the fantasy lives on.

You’re brilliant. I’m taking your idea. I have a very emotionally strong friend who got a bed bug infestation in her apartment once. She called me to tell me. In the decade we’ve been best friends it’s the only time I ever heard her cry.

Preach! I’m 37 years old but I’m a 5'3" ginger woman. I’ve always looked way younger than I am and twice this year my 20 something bearded male intern was mistaken for me professionally. My favorite was when a particularly thick, but important older male in a meeting kept ignoring me and deferring to my intern. Poor…

I’m often called to community events for my work because I work in development and when I attend with my boss, even though I’m in full suit with a name badge and files in hand we often get, “Oh great! My wife’s here too if you want to head over there.” Not that I mind the wives. Often times they’re smarter than the…

My first reaction was, “No Zaddy! Bad Zaddy!”
