When my kids were babies I worried when took a shower that they might need me. I would even feel a bit guilty. Because they were babies. Your mom is a big girl now and has to learn to handle her own life.

Uhm, she may know the classes her daughter is taking, but looking the exact titles up in the time schedule and keeping a written or mental calendar of her daughter’s day does go into weird stalker territory.

I can buy that the mom is frustrated, but I think taking it to Dear Prudie and bringing in threats is a bit past the line. They’ll probably both learn to develop a relationship that works for the two of them after the daughter gets used to living on her own. I’m guessing it will go more smoothly if the mom backs off a…

I agree - this post is way over the top. Barring some dysfunctional family backstory, the adult child owes the parents polite behavior (returning calls, being nice) just as much as the parents owe the adult child polite behavior. Unless the adult child wants to break away from her parents entirely - including…

I don’t know the situation but I think you are reading a lot into this. It sounds like a frustrated mom dealing with a major transition period in the relationship. The rest is just projection. Eta: and to add, young people also have to learn to have a relationship as an adult with their parents. It’s usually a mutual…

Thanks for covering this. Insane that it took losing one of their best players to an ACL tear to deal with domestic playing surfaces, especially after all the crap FIFA put them through playing the WWC on turf.

Field turf is trash and not a professional playing surface. Women, US and around the world, deserve better.

Congrats to her! She sounds like someone who really hates pregnancy so I’m happy for her that it’s over!

FUCKIN CRAIG, LOVE THAT GUY

The women coming forward are adult film actresses; surely one can imagine how that information would be used in court.

It doesn’t look like it, but I can sort of understand why. I mean a The courts rip through a woman’s sexual past gets enough when we’re talking about a ‘normal’ person. Unfortunately I think it would be fairly easy for a defense attorney to paint a half believable picture of desire instead of rape. That doesn’t mean…

Why would they want to? Why would they need to? In a lot of these situations, the legal process would be long, exhausting, and probably completely demoralizing. The women coming forward are adult film actresses; surely one can imagine how that information would be used in court. If the end goal is just to raise…

Thank you for sharing your painful story. I don’t think that’s true, though. I *do* believe, even as a woman who has been raped and sexually assaulted by men, that there are good men out there who don’t have these violent desires, whether outright or subconsciously. There are a lot of awful, disgusting pigs out there,…

I have a particular loathing for liberal male politicians who think they can get away with mistreating women because of their feminist cred. Monica was willing, but she was also an intern, and the power differential there is really, really not okay. And there have been enough allegations of actual assault to make me…

Agreed, didn’t Trump’s own WIFE accuse him of violently raping her?

It’s a fair question and I think she gave the best answer she could have. Now contrast that with if someone asked the same type of question to the grand-standing circus peanut currently running on the other side. That person would have been insulted, dragged out of the meeting, doxxed and forced off any and all social…

But once again a woman is having to answer for the actions of a man.

I suppose. I still think it smacks a little bit of not recognizing that Hillary isn’t her Husband and isn’t on the hook for the shitty things he may have done.

That being said though (Thanks Jon!), replying with “they deserve to be believed at first until they’re disbelieved based on evidence” is a pretty good spur of the moment reply. She could have refused to answer or said something stupid about it not being relevant or something.

An entirely fair, and necessary, question.
