Oh no! I take it you didn't call the police? That's really awful. I really hope you have at least one person completely on your side - even if it's just a therapist or a parent. We all have our weak moments - I not only stayed with the douche but I worked up all this drama over the issue and made myself look insane…

I was really struck by this article that this couple could possibly survive if they had enough money to leave the country....or maybe enough money to buy off the girls' family (possibly?). I know journalists are supposed to stay objective and not interfere in the lives of the people they write about, but at some…
>>If you ask the soldiers and commanders of the Army, it's going alright, as long as everyone is on their best behavior.<<
People like writer 1 make me sad because I used to be one of them. I drank the misogyny cool-aid and would talk about how I was so above other women. I am super into gaming and baseball and I would lament how girls just don't "get it". I would assume all other women wanted to talk about where things I defined as…
"So basically the narrative is you can't be sexual and intelligent; you have to choose one."
Strangely enough, I find that acting in a way at the workplace that drives someone to tears is incredibly unprofessional.
This is far beyond 'deliberately obtuse'. This is a straight up asshole sitting behind the safety of her computer screen never once having had to live this way with no way out and having the audacity to behave this way. We are never going to get anywhere because women like sarah convienently refuse to see others as…
Did they ever give you a lesson on how to avoid a dependapotamus?
This is so frustrating! I'm prior service, every military article makes me crazy! NO, the military eating issues aren't about Marines (or as they call them, SOLDIERS, smh) trying to be "tough like the guys", "under pressure", or wanting to be fuckable. It's about all branches of the military, female and male, and…
It's strange to think of a soldier — a tough, fit, well-oiled machine charged with helping and defending — as being…
"that broad fabric quilt of culture that is the South"
It's right down there with, "Now I'm not racist but...", "I mean, I have gay friends..." & "My best friend is black!".
It's pretty gross that you think "white" feminism is driven by women being rejected by men, as if men are always the priority.
As a former MP I can understand why you felt the way you did. I spent my career in the military being regularly disappointed by the lack of response to crimes against women. I didn't handle those types of cases as an investigator, but I knew the men(mostly) who did. It was a disgrace, made all the worse by the fact…
She's a fraud and has remained silent while violent Buddhist monks attack the Rohinga and the government denies their citizenship.
All the comments denying that this is a big deal are why we need to keep talking about it.
If it was just a song about rough sex, sure. But it's not. It's a song about "I know you want it" and "I hate these blurred lines" and deciding for another human being whether or not they actually want to be touched and have their ass torn in two and so on instead of actually allowing that other human being to decide…
