However, part of the focus on “survivor” by rape counsellors is to help the victims get beyond their guilt that they should have somehow stopped their rape. The dialogue is centered around, “you did exactly what you were supposed to, you survived.” It focuses on while the person was raped, they have survived. The word…

They didn’t release the younger son’s name so I don’t think we can rule out that it’s “Ted Cruz” yet.

Same here, I did a little froth and subsequently deflated when it turned out to not be a cover of Cyndi’s. :(

Me too. Kids these days.

I was hoping it would be Cyndi Lauper’s True Colors :(

I don’t accept your lifestyle as a bigot.

Possibly if PAID $128

It’s a pretty color, but all those ruffles and flounces would look hideous on me. Also, a big middle finger to “dry clean only”.

I showed my daughter, the budding fashion designer:

That’s a ripe load of bullshit. The Daily Mail chose to use two different terms in their article, and it’s no mistake that they chose to use the term with negative connotations for her and the term with more neutral connotations for him. This kind of thing doesn’t happen in a vacuum.

While everyone else is arguing over intent, let me propose this:

Ah Professor Not Quite Grabby, I had two of those. The ‘accidentally” brushing up against the female students, and when there was a sexually explicit poem to be read out loud, guess who he with with his affectatious elbow patches called on. I did refuse to read one the poems out loud once, totally threw him for a…

Based on the condition of his face, it looks like she put up a good fight. If there is a god, those scratches will become infected with drug-resistant necrotizing bacteria, and his face will rot off.

They’re Canadian children, I’ve seen Degrassi, they can handle it!

He was misquaken out of conhaxt!! It’s a traveshamockery!!

When I was in Jr. High, a group of boys backed me into a corner and pulled out their dicks to shake/wipe on me. When a teacher caught ‘em, she sent us all to the principal’s office. “Boys will be boys” was pretty much the excuse the principal used to erase the fact that these little shits had done anything wrong. None…

Your daughter sounds awesome and I’m so sorry she had to live through that type of harassment, especially in freaking MIDDLE SCHOOL!

When I was in high school, a younger boy slung me over his shoulder and carried me into the boys’ bathroom for mouthing off to him. I have no idea what would have happened if he hadn’t lost his grip on me; I fell down and was able to get away. Besides a concussion from landing on my head on a tile bathroom floor, that…

Your daughter sounds rad!

you’ve definitely struck a nerve for all us non-Hallmark daughters and sons- so thank you. As a survivor of a toxic mother I want to offer a way for people like me to take mother’s day and make it a day for us too- like Galentines- I go and visit a lovely lady at a care home who has early stage Alzheimer’s- it’s a…
