I starred this post just because you said you are 40.

I've only ever heard of either of these women on Jezebel. I'm OLD and unhip. I still have no idea who either one is, or why they are famous, or anything.

Flushing tampons down the toilet is the real horror here. NOT SO SEXY WHEN YOU HAVE POOP WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A PLUMBER ON THE PHONE AT TWO IN THE MORNING, CHRISTIAN, EH?

I see your point, but I don't think that's what she did. It's certainly arguable. He asked her what the song meant to her and she talked about racism and violence. Can you imagine the potential outrage if she (a white woman from England) had 'appropriated' the black American experience by suggesting that she in some…

She was on Tavis Smiley talking about a song whose meaning cannot be missed. She failed to condescendingly explain the meaning of a song to people because she obviously assumed everyone knew. It really requires taking it all out of context to suggest she didn't know what the song was about or was unaware of its…

This is some fucked up Six Feet Under intro right there.

I'm trying to figure out if you're a random troll trying to make the customer look even worse by impersonating them and being an asshole, or if you are indeed the customer and don't realize what an asshole you are. Hmmm. Either way, you're an asshole though.

Oh, you are the cutest little troll.

In her case, it was definitely not humane, it took multiple blows to behead her and was purposefully done without painkillers. I would agree that there isn't a way to kill anything in an entirely humane way, though.

Unfortunately in Saudi Arabia there is a total lack of transparency regarding criminal proceedings, so…

Oh for sure. My mother had a running narrative in her head about the glorious childhood she gave her children. And when she was in a good mood, she could be wonderful. But when things were bad, as they were often several times in a single day, they were horrible. She would become and enraged, terrifying monster…

Yup. That's the problem with abusive parents, they have conveniently selective memories and "forget" all the terrible things they've done, or they "re-imagine" memories to make themselves the victim. They also ensure that in every scenario they are the victim and their children are the ungrateful, selfish assholes.…

Exactly. I lost a very close friend of mine about 1 year and a half ago, she committed suicide. We knew she had a shitty childhood: growing in a house where she was treated like a maid (her own words) with her two brothers doing nothing and harassing her because she was overweight, being harassed at school (first…

YES. It it doesn't support their narrative, it didn't happen.

I think sometimes abusive parents have a tendency to believe the lies they've told themselves about how wonderful their children's childhoods were. Particularly if their children turned out to be decent adults.

A Juggalo. I would elaborate but I don't really think that's necessary.

Hell I remember a story about a guy who broke into a woman's house. She convinced him to use a condom when he raped her so uses that in his defense as proof of consent. Because what woman would say "Let's get it on" to finding a strange man in her house in them middle of the night.

"I will not live with the guilt of someone passing away."

Can we drop the "good kid/person who made some mistakes" narrative as a defense? The only thing that sentence means is "yes [he/she] is a [rapist/murderer/pedophile/violent bigot], but I [the speaker] still love [him/her]." Honestly, I couldn't care less that you still love your rapist son or violent bigot husband. …
