Oh but he went to Harvard, he simply must be the smartest man in the room! And you’re right, he’s uncomfortable. People very close to him have been predators or displayed disgusting behavior (Weinstein, the Afflecks) and it’s pretty hard to believe he didn’t see any of it. He’s surely feeling the sting of how false…

Anything shake out about Terry Hobbs in the years since the Alford plea?

I’M TAKING THEM ALL BACK!

Nobody looks busy like Omarosa!

According to the Daily Beast, she basically planned her wedding.

I always assumed that was the case but my god, how frustrating. Do they realize it right away or do you have to explain later why they just shot themselves in the foot?

That is a huge upside! I’m so glad there are women who will be teaching their kids about this crap and hopefully with those lessons we will all have a better future. It’s really heartening to see, even though it’s through a huge amount of pain and suffering that these changes come about. <3

Ugh. I’m so sorry. And yep, total astonishment to tears or yelling or any emotion that comes from being frightened and 100% fed the fuck up. That’s something that struck me about the Spurlock story. That the woman—through tears—was talking about a Light Bright. A childhood toy. The woman was retreating inside herself r…

Lol! It might work! Although I’m not thrilled that there are men out there who might actually need a reminder that human women are not inanimate machines, I’m here for any victory even the small, kind of pathetic ones. ;)

WWLOD should be our new mantra!

It really is a WIP and I think a lot of us struggle with it all the time so don’t feel bad or alone in that. (Add me in there!) You’ve recognized it, identified it, now you’re working on it and that’s all anyone can really do. And when all else fails, I hear that menopause is officially when the fucks run out ;)

Also, I love your username!!

I hear you, I’ve done it too, I think we all have. We’re raised to “be nice”, and to “not make a fuss”, and it really sticks in the brain. Personally I still need to remind myself most days that saying no to things (even things that aren’t related to sex at all) is my right and it’s okay whether someone else likes it…

Excellent point! The wear her down with “charm” thing is depicted so often, and it’s always the protagonist and played like it’s just a part of courtship. Saying no repeatedly is not a part of courtship, guys. That woman is not into you.

The retweets are shit but apart from that, show an understanding of what happened. He’s so caught up in his own defense that he’s missing the part where he admits he tried over and over again to have sex with her after she said no until she relented. This is common amongst guys and it needs to stop. If someone says no…

How many of us have had this happen, the no is accepted but they keep trying. Ten mins later, twenty...basically if you stay and continue to chat or laugh or lay next to them or even kiss, they’ll try again.

This is so true, foster transitions are just so much better. Usually by the time they meet a potential adopter they’ve hung out with people and other pets and started showing whatever little doggo quirks they’ve got and no one gets caught off guard. Plus there’s usually Rescue agency rules in place that if they change…

That’s awesome! I’m really glad to hear that, and especially that his dogs are living such long, full lives. It’s been my experience (worked at vets, shelters for ten years) that sudden changes in food can cause a lot of GI upset but gradually replacing the food usually works like a charm no matter what the change is.…

That poor dog! People are the fucking worst. I was working when a couple surrendered a dog (still a puppy!) because they didn’t realize they’d have to take him out for walks. They literally thought they’d train him to use a litter box. They were also keeping him locked in thebathroom all day because they were too…

Okay well my point was that there are many grain free lines available that also don’t contain corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or even poultry while still providing meat protein. It is a better and healthier alternative than a vegan diet for a wide array of dogs with various ages and…
