I disagree. People have also been posting vile, harassing shit from their real Twitter accounts and Facebook accounts. What enables people to say this stuff is the idea that harassing women isn't a problem, that it's all hysterical ladies with thin skins or lying bitches who are making it up, that it's just people…

It's like the Duggars with a chip on their shoulders.

Had he not nominated her, we would not have been treated to Tina Fey's impression. And that was fucking priceless.

1) He cannot type out a coherent sentence and he is calling this woman an idiot.

That stinks. From what I'm seeing, he's more of an outlier. I don't think these guys die lonely and bitter deaths but I do think a lot of them have way too much confidence in their ability to get women significantly younger than they are.

I think that when that is what is modeled for you, that is what is 'normal' and so you are more likely on some level accept it. However, it can and does happen to people who were not abused; denial and the idea that it has to be physical can keep you in a bad situation. By the time the abuser starts hitting you,…

I love your username.

Or if someone, you know, hacks into their email account and distributes their emails or posts them on the internet for all the world to see. Even the one between friends where they're venting about the boss, or talking about something private and kind of embarassing. I mean, they should have known better, keeping such…

A lot of those people think it was somehow different when it was them.

Which is what I do, so I'm not sure why you're giving me advice. You were asking if it was actually a thing that happens (you came across as plain not believing it). I told you it was. No need for advice since I do move on.

On dating sites guys put their age ranges several years below their own age, so they won't even see your profile to consider it. And when I've made an approach anyway I was told I "looked great" but I was "too old." And guys I know have told me point-blank that women their exact age are too old. So yes. It's a thing.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Watching a parent get sick or die just sucks.

I know a guy (I cannot call him a friend for reasons that will soon be clear) who complains that he's ready to get married and have children but that women won't go for him. Dude is 44. He would *never* consider a 40-something woman because she'd be too old. The oldest he'll consider was 35 and that is pushing it…

If it's God's dick maybe we need to give it a hat. At least in church.

Jamie is supposed to be five years younger than Claire—he's 22 or 23. (AND HE IS A VIRGIN.) And OMG, in the books, Claire can hold her liquor. She matches Colum drink for drink and he was hoping to get her sauced to get the truth out of her. Jamie actually commented on it in the book.

Well, it doesn't help with coherence, as your ranty and hysterical replies to me have shown. Here's a tissue; wipe the spittle from your mouth and take your nap.

And you know, given the shit I've caught from the peanut gallery for ending dating relationships, it really doesn't shock me when people don't leave bad marriages. What, you're going to break up with your boyfriend over **that**?? WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE MARRIED FOR TWENTY YEARS JUST TOSS HIM ASIDE YOU ARE A…

"he took care of her—Harden controlled her diabetes medication and never taught her how to use her insulin pump."

He had access to her insulin and was the one who knew how to use the pump. So yes, I'm going to call threatening to leave her after ensuring she was dependent on him for her well being to be abusive.

The vaccination rates in those countries are actually quite high, so I'm not particularly worried about illegal immigrants having the diseases that are making a comeback here. The problem is not with them. It is with mainly white, affluent, anti-vaxxers.
