It seems to me that as much as aggressive men want to possess and control women, they want to harm and injure other men. If you’re a dude and you intervene in a situation with hyper-aggressive toxically-masculine dudes, you will get beaten to shit. Of course, that’s your own fault for not being man enough to handle…

Adding a bunch of hyperbolic irrational stuff like that totally makes me inclined to discount anything else she has to say about the events. I understand being reaaaally fucking riled up if something like this happened to me, but I can’t imagine going on a multi-day online smackdown spree and throwing out completely…

Woman gets assaulted. Her male friend comes to her aid and fights the attacker. Woman maces attacker’s girlfriend and then she and her friends chase the attacker(s?) down the street. Third party watches the street fight between those two groups and wisely decides not to get in the middle of it. This could have been…

Her own version of the events is poking holes in the story she posted on Tumblr. She and a friend were in a fight with a couple, she maced them, and then got indignant when the bar they happened to be in front of wanted nothing to do with their noise? It seems like she has a massive chip on her shoulder, what with…

I love the idea that he wasn’t supposed to call the police on people about to endanger those around them.

Yep, it’s called taxis, uber or friend. You just pulled Pinkham’s law. Congrats.

Can we just agree that sex shouldn’t even factor into it? “Men’s work” and “Women’s work” is a silly concept. Sometimes the man will be better at repairing the house or fixing the car, and sometimes the woman will be. Sometimes the woman will be better at cooking and cleaning and sometimes the man will be. But setting…

Coming here to say exactly that. I know ghost stories make for fun family lore, and I get that folks experience sleep paralysis or have homes that make strange sounds. It’s probably very fun to make up a story and enter it in this contest. But since we live in a world of logic, there’s nothing actually *frightening*…

This woman became my fucking hero. Also fuck that guy. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Worst. Liar. Ever.

Obviously the answer is to start luring the trespassers into your basement and murdering them horribly.
