No, it's not. However, a partner that relies on you to care for them and would otherwise be required to have a nurse wipe his ass is not in the best position for compromise. When power in unequal and the consequences to one party are also unequal, it can be coercive. That's why your boss is not allowed to try to sex…

Imagine all the suits there would be if Chuck Berry decided to claim his boogie woogie piano inspired guitar motif (that the majority of his songs have) as actionable?

I don't keep up with contemporary pop at all, and had managed to be oblivious of Blurred Lines except for its name; I'm of the generation that knows Marvin Gaye's entire catalog through and through. When I heard the suit had won, I assumed it was as clear cut as George Harrison ripping off He's So Fine for My Sweet…

More like the jury not being able to separate the seasoning from the steak.

You're mistaking the frosting for the cake, the sizzle for the steak. You only hear the superficial elements.

Not a Thicke fan, but his song sounds NOTHING like Gayes'. It shares only three basic SECONDARY concepts: falsetto vocals, a bouncy bass line, and a similar tempo. These (concepts) are not things you can copyright. The most important tangible element, the MELODY, is not even vaguely similar. Even the chord…

The dude in the back tries to sell it too hard. I call shenanigans, set up for TV.

I can agree with that. But I mean, you can see why she's trying to justify, to defend herself. Polygamy, open relationships are not that common, they're taboo and in fact are... Frowned upon by many traditionalists. Her tone is straight away defensive because she knows people are going to judge her, they're going to…

I work for an Hispanic non-profit and this issue comes up frequently, especially in reference to the Census since Census data impacts funding and services. As Tim said Latino refers to people from Latin America, and Hispanic refers to people with ethnicities derived from Spanish-speaking areas. Some people can be…

I think we can both agree that this interview would've been much better if the husband would've been involved in it as well. I can only say in Amy's defense that she says her husband is seeing a sex worker who helps him. If she was this... Evil, manipulative woman who bullied her husband into it she wouldn't be too…

He is being cuckolded, but he is not a cuckold. He doesn't want to hear the detail of her trysts.

It sort of makes it sound like illness is a totally acceptable reason to cheat. That kind of blows my mind. I have an illness right now that has left me physically unable to do a lot of what I did before. I already feel horrible guilt about how this has affected the lives of everyone in my family. The last thing I…

Jealousy/insecurities are basically the societal constructs

Yes, this exactly. If her husband is happy with their situation then that is great. But the fact that the men she is with are actively cheating on their spouses is far from decent behaviour. It's selfish and, particularly if their partners are depressed, incredibly cruel. I also rather side-eye the fact that she…

If he needs as much caretaking as it seems, he doesn't really have much of a choice. Its either acquiesce or lose your wife and caretaker.

I mean, I'm with you and everything but I just can't get around #2 because it just comes off as a very "I'm not ok with this but so's long as I can pretend it's not happening I'm down". I mean, I don't think you should have to be into it like, you know, into it but if I had something going on in my life where my…

"Yeah, I think the fact that when he found out they didn't just call it quits and they found a way to make it work for both of them was particularly beautiful."

What I can't wrap my head around is the: my husband can't have sex because of his medical condition- except for kink that I won't do, but I totally want to have sex with my husband.

Yeah, I was completely with her up to the point where we found out she insists on her partners being like her, with no caveat about the other spouses knowing. And yes, I know, she made those spouses no promises but I would hope she would pause a bit knowing she's helping a man hurt his wife. And I know, those wives…
