So the hero is the person who provided the cash, and not the person who’s ideas and hard work led to the result?

People in an abusive relationship often have low self esteem or self image. If it took seeing herself actually being with someone else then that's ok. Victims of abuse have all sorts of reasons for staying and leaving. Who are you to judge?

A lot of people have stated the "sometimes you don't know how bad things are until you have someone to show you/ experience normalcy" reason. This seems quite logical to me, but I'd like to pose an alternative (or perhaps addition).

It's that flash of normality, kindness and sweetness that shows what you're experiencing in a savagely clear light. Sorry you don't approve, but a lot of people in abusive manipulative relationships only find the thread of a way out when they encounter this. She had to leave. Period. If liking/making out with someone…

Sometimes in these types of relationships and situations you get to a point that you feel worthless. Then someone may come into your life who is not a friend or knows anything and can spark that worth back. If it helped her get out of this then good for her.

You get so blinded in these type of relationships... It takes somebody else, a friend, a romantic interest, a fuck buddy, to make you realize what you're missing out on or are mired in, sometimes.

The goal of this type of abuse is to gain control over someone, and this is accomplished by manipulation and by breaking that person down, destroying his/her self-esteem, and making him/her feel worthless, as though the abuser is the only person in the world who will deal with him/her. This encounter with "Hank"…

Sometimes it takes the glimpse of how ridiculously happy you can be to walk away from how miserable you are.

Sometimes it's not clear just how bad your relationship is until you experience something more normal. That can be a huge wake up call.

Have you ever used the app? The user actually picks a background photo or image to use - unless someone was replacing or creating these specifically for the article, its completely possible these are shown exactly how the women themselves entered them.

Congratulations, Mark! Scientists tell me that your use of hyperbole in headlines has become even more prolific than J.J. Abrams' use of lens flare!

Before anyone says, "You didn't know this?!" or "You don't already do this?" No.

It is nice to have that one friend whom you can call and say "where's your baseball bat" and she goes "let's go" with no questions asked.

Anonymous is a completely decentralized, self-organizing identity that can be adopted by literally anyone, any time, for any reason. It's a powerful model for organized activism and terrorism, individual activity, or virtual lynch mobs. For this reason, any attempt to characterize Anonymous outside of any particular…

If we lived in a society where people weren't judged for their sexuality, that would be fine. But teachers are routinely fired if past nude pictures or porn movies come to light. Employers commonly make judgments about employees sex lives and try to control them by preventing their insurance from paying for birth…

You're a fucking moron, read the article where the women express the negative consequences of having naked photos of themselves online. like the teacher, or the woman in the custody battle. and ultimately their computers were hacked, which is the much bigger problem, where bank accounts and other information could…

He is lying in wait. Biding his time. Waiting for the ruckus to die down before striking like a snake in the grass. Buy a gun, as soon as possible. You have your children and yourself to protect. He is a predator of women, and he isn't going to try and do things while the FBI is at your house. Try and think like a…

Hunter Moore is the reason why it's always a good idea* to have at least one friend who doesn't have a lot going on in life, is fond of violence, and doesn't ask questions when told that you need a favor. And is able to read a map and recognize someone from a photograph**.

How has this guy not been killed by someone? People have been murdered for a lot less.

You're right, they could sell this thing as the Dodge Dreamfucker with roughly the same results.
