FYI: YesYesThisAgain is, while not a troll in the strict sense of the word, an MRA who mostly hangs around Jezebel to argue (at great length) about how hard life is for men. I fell into the trap last week, and it’s really not worth engaging him.

You still have to have radiation, after everything? ACK! Enough is enough!

I would raise my hand but it’s buried in an enormous bag of cheesy popcorn.

My mother has worked DV for my entire life. It has been her experience (she works with perpetrators) that many women arrested for domestic violence are actually victims. Some partners use calling the police as a threat and wait until the woman fights back, claiming she was the aggressor. Yes, there are cases of…

95% of reddit is men who vastly overestimate how awesome they are while denigrating everyone else so take their testimony with a grain of salt

My endocrinologist has me avoiding soy because some research suggests that it can contribute to problems in people who already have thyroid dysfunction. I am hypothyroid, so on lifelong meds. I don’t mind it all that much, because it forces me to eat more fresh food and less processed junk. It keeps me honest.

he waited until my mother was out of earshot...it’s not because you’ve had your thyroid out at all, it’s because you sit around on your lazy, fat, disgusting arse stuffing your face full of crap all day every day”

I am also supposed to avoid soy (for my thyroid) and you are not kidding, it is in everything. Toothpaste! It’s in effing toothpaste!

Sorry about your dad being a turd. It is nice that you mom is helping though. Do you have any way of limiting your contact with your dad while you are sick? I would want to, in a nice way, say fuck off b/c I do not want to put up with your shit while I have cancer. IDK. It may be more cathartic to tell him he is…

• What does it say about me that I read your post and while I’m sympathetic to your situation, my take away was, what the Hell is peanut butter porridge?

Yup, the same party that claims life is so sacred but cheers as the door is slammed to these children living in unimaginable circumstances. Bunch of hypocrites.

Did you ever think you’d be longing for the great speeches George W. Bush made?

DD/MM/YYYY isn’t even a British thing! It’s an every single country except for America (and Liberia?) thing!

How convenient that she didn’t understand the grief when she lied and got that innocent child killed then went on to live her life happily. So how about you go fuck yourself along with Carolyn?

She’s doing this for herself. She’ll embellish the tale with stories about how she felt “tender sorrow” or some such shit but it’s empty platitudes and petty ass complaints about ruined lives at this point.

Ugh, and then her own son had to die in order for her to get to this place? To view Mamie as a grieving mother?!

Herself. I’d bet anything that her pastor told her that she needs to go to Jesus with a clean conscience so she can get into heaven.

Blood $$$$ for her descendants. She doesn’t give a flying fuck if she lied, bet she voted for Trump too.

“When Carolyn herself [later] lost one of her sons, she thought about the grief that Mamie must have felt and grieved all the more.” Let me guess, her son was being falsely accused of harassing a pure white woman and subsequently tortured and murdered? If not, your grief is NOTHING compared to Mamie’s grief and the…

Fuck you.
