The Duggar’s have always fought against marriage equality, arguing that granting rights to LGBTQ’s would be an endorsement of child molestation.

Those of us who’ve experienced the fallout of molestation within religious families, back me up here. The religious institution will almost always take the side of the abuser, even elevate them as “forgiven by Jesus himself and is now saved,” and practically excommunicate the abused, especially if the victims are…

Considering the family, the girls were probably considered partially at fault.

One sister, Jinger, seems to actively avoid him. The oldest sister, Jana, also seems to have some emotional problems (she’s also treated as the family’s free childcare and is closer to the little girls than Michelle is, probably because she actually raised them). This family has some really messed up things about…

I also work with Title IX, and agree. At a recent training with everyone’s favorite snark monster Brett Sokolow, he talked about the fact that any consent programming we do at the college level is kind of useless because we would have to de-program the students. Literally break them, strip away everything they know…

Yeah, that makes so much sense. I think education on consent should start earlier and should be an ongoing part of sex-ed in high school (if it isn’t already), at home, in popular culture etc. People go to college with a loose notion of consent and it gets reinforced by the frat boy culture that is so pervasive on so…

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I KNOW YOU ARE A TROLL BUT THIS IS THE BEST/WORST ATTEMPT ANY TROLL HAS EVER MADE LIKE

OMG PEOPLE GOT NEW JOBS IN THE PAST 4 YEARS! ESCANDALO!

I tried this when I was 8.

I had cause recently to change my voter affiliation to Republican (I’m most decidedly NOT a Republican, but the reasons were good, I promise). When I mentioned it to my parents over dinner while visiting them, my dad silently stood up, took my plate of food off the table, and fed it to their dog.

During a previous season where Betty had a brief health scare, I had a feeling that she would be among those who would die. The whole thing was sad. Kiernan Shipka’s acting was perfect during the scene with Sally reading the note.

You know that she’s Armenian and it would be natural for her to be able to tan/get dark without saying she was in blackface, right?

My mother is an alcoholic, compulsive-spender-hoarder narcissist. I finally went no contact with her last year and this will be my first mother’s day not acknowledging her. It’s tough because there is always an innate desire to please, to be a good person to your mother. But when it just gets thrown in your face and…

I was adopted as a baby, and emancipated at 14 from my second family for these reasons. I find this time of year especially hard and it’s always good to know I am not alone in this.

It was in pre-foreclosure when we got it. I think it was originally built for a dentist, which is why there are two front doors (one for the “home” and one for the “office”). The two front doors constantly confuse the door-to-door evangelicals. I get two copies of “the Watchtower” or the scary “DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU…

Have a tiny house thats less than 350 sf, love it & never going back to a bigger space. When I see things like this house just am in wonder at why does someone need that much space?

OMG, what can I do with this extra reason to hate them? I was already set.

The personification of LOVE/HATE. The doc was awesome though. It was pure serendipity that the focus changed so drastically during the filming. my husband thought it was a set up.

She has a lot of bad qualities, but she also got her degree in computer science and worked at IBM at a time when most women didn’t go to college or have jobs. Plus she seemed to love her kids and she donated a shitload to charity every year.

They have a closet that is 6,000 square feet.

My house, a Victorian built in 1887, has 2,084 square feet. And we have two bedrooms that are basically not used.
