I started to write a reply above and then abandoned it because I didn’t want to presume too much. Now I want to share it. Two words you said jumped out at me: angry (him), mortified (you).

Oh god. People are so horrible sometimes. And that woman who walked out with you...thank goodness for her. And fuck Facebook and the troll-y “friendships” it creates.

Also. I am very sorry for your loss of your grandma.

He is clueless. A lot of people will tell themselves they are still friendly in order to deny the pain of betrayal or disappointment. Who needs “friendship” with a river of denial running through it? Don’t look back.

Yes. Genital herpes for me.

Looking at the headline and seeing the photo, I know almost nothing about these 2 women, except that they go to the same plastic surgeon.

A million stars for you!

Yes! Thank you for noting the different, nuanced flavor of misogyny that outraged conservatives are rallying behind.

I hate myself for clicking through to read this.

What you describe are power differences. You conveniently leave out substance abuse as an issue. You’re comparing apples to thunderstorms.

HRC felt ill and left a public event. This is what an adult does when she or he has a high demand job and needs to perform despite not feeling great. Let’s not forget what happens when someone ignores clear messages from the body, and from one’s health professionals, and decides to participate in state events. This…

It sucks when this happens. I agree with jpmonkey that contacting him again is not advisable. Not contacting him doesn’t mean you are being passive. You can take the opportunity to reflect more closely on what seemed to go well, and also on what was not interesting or even not that great about him or the times you…

I think the better term might be “counter-spaces.” These spaces are structured to support students whose gender/sexual orientation/religion/race or ethnicity places them at risk of encountering (gender/race/sexual orientation, etc) micro-aggression in their day to day experiences on campus and in the classroom. If U…

“Family values”dog whistle = “you get to rape your wife or girlfriend”

Let me introduce myself. My name is hyperbole. I appreciate your question. I should not have used the word “militant”. On the other hand, the French ARE fully capable of using the law of the state to exercise nearly unlimited check on poor, Muslim, immigrants. If you doubt this, look at how the criminal justice system…

Oops. “were trying to clothes” let’s just say: “were wearing clothes”

On the surface the schools and government are secular. In day to day life, it’s clearly a Christian country. Plus, what one might wear at the beach is not legislated UNTIL women were trying to clothes that broadcast their Muslim faith. Similarly, orthodox Jewish men and boys wear yarmulkes, however they are not worn…

My heart goes out to you. I also feel a lot of compassion for your husband. Many people come from families that socialize them to deny truth and suffering in order to keep up appearances. It ultimately compromises their ability to love deeply and honor their commitments to themselves and others. Whatever choice your…

Isn’t the problem that he would want you to lick a lot more than his shoes before you could have the money?

It sounds like you like the idea of orgasm, but not sex which can include orgasm and a lot of smells, sounds, tastes, fluids. As the buddhist saying goes: No mud, no flower. It’s not just a sex thing. It’s a life thing.
