I appreciate everyone’s answers to that comment of mine, which was hasty and clumsy. I get that her dad was just doing his job, and I respect that, and by all accounts he was a good father. It just occurred to me that that kind of cognitive dissonance over the long term can have an effect on a kid’s world view. And…

Jumping in there: It isn’t out of line IMO, but I don’t think it’s relevant. Robert was a talented attorney, and, though he by no means needed that case, in reviewing the history, I think it’s clear that he honestly thought at first that his friend was innocent.

The “my man is just....special and I’m the only one who gets him” is written in stone in the Pantheon of Emotionally Abused Women. Whether or not Ms. K is of that guild is immaterial: she’s pimping it, it’ll be sucked up by young, vulnerable fans, and that pisses me off.

I’m confident in saying that there’s nothing “to get” about Kanye anyway.

Men - the entitled, underqualified ones whom you really are much better than – will set it up so that there’s no way you can win, and then do their best to blame you for dropping out.

My boyfriend and I watched Parks and Rec together and we both really enjoyed it......but I 100% agree with you that it’s more likely to hit women in that deep place, and I speak about it with hyperbole more than he does.

Umm... Not more so than other women do? I was more referring to the apparent custom of handing out prizes/recognition/etc to dudes more often than equally-deserving women.

I know we’re not supposed to body-snark, but I’m not a fan of models who are so thin that their torsos start pixelating.

We really need to start naming schools after Benedict Arnold and Lord Cornwallis. It’s the only way to honor our “heritage.”

I’m thinking of kicking it off in July with a tasteful celebration. None of these rubbish explosions and tawdry parades of which the rebels are so fond. Simple, yet elegant like our true Queen.

That’s actually a hilarious idea. “British Colonial Loyalist Heritage Month.”

When can we expect to celebrate Tories? I’d like to start proclaiming my proud heritage of not wanting to declare independence from Great Britain.

Hey, if a rape is “legitimate,” the female body has a way of shutting the whole thing down.

So, if you get raped by a stranger, don’t abort the baby because that’s bad, but we won’t acknowledge its existence when it’s born, either.

I also fucking love the Property Brothers, but when they “debuted” a song on one of their many shows (the ranch makeover one) I only made it about 3 bars in before changing the channel. I was so embarrassed for them I couldn’t handle it.

I didn’t listen so that the carpenter one can still get it.

You don’t need to defend Hitler, this isn’t the hill to die on.

Thank you so much for sharing your story.
