The sad thing is that this tactic WORKS. How many people saw this on the news and genuinely felt less sympathy for the girl after finding out she wasn't "pure" enough to REALLY be raped? UGH.

Yeah, that REALLY got me. Your fake apology is almost as disgusting as what you did, asshole.

If I had a nickel for every time my parents yelled horrible things at me, I could afford the therapy I so desperately need.

They also seem to think that ALL tribes have the exact same traditions. "Oh, I'm part X, so I can do Y, even though it has literally nothing to do with X's culture."

All of these reasons played into my decision to never have children, but number 9 is the real kicker. My mother just up and SNAPPED after the last of my siblings was born. She was either incredibly angry, sad, or apathetic all of the time for the next decade. I have enough problems with anxiety and depression as it…

Thank you. I needed something to remind me that there is someone in this mess that isn't hateful and horrible.

He goes on to say that he's let his son play a few missions with the sound off. In context, it sounds like he's just using hyperbole. Like how some dads will say things like, "You're not dating til you're thirty!" He probably just doesn't want his 11-year-old kid to hear his voice saying some of the stuff Michael…

I'm not a fan of hunting as a sport anyway, but this? "Monstrous" is the only word that comes to mind.

And it's the psychos like this that make people think that everyone who owns a gun is crazy and/or bloodthirsty. Ugh.

What's really bad is that I actually asked one of the doctors if it could be birth control related, since I had read about people having stomach pains while on Implanon. (None of the sites said what caused those pains, though.) My question was completely dismissed. Needless to say, I won't be seeing them again.

This explains why I was always constipated/feeling abdominal cramps while on Implanon (which is progesterone-based), but my horrible period poo returned once I switched back to the pill. Thank you for solving the mystery that NONE of my doctors could figure out. They were testing me for Chron's and Celiac disease…

Hm. I noticed it specifically says "Number of Guys." I guess the women I've hooked up with don't count towards my sluttiness? Then again, the creator of the Slut Formula is probably the kind of person who doesn't know that women are capable of having sex with each other. Guess I'm forever stuck at the "Easy" rank!

That...that is NOT a normal reaction to mushrooms. What the hell else did this guy have in his system?

I doubt they'd give her a movie of her own, but maybe we could get a Birds of Prey movie?

I have played video games my whole life, but I would never put down another woman for not being a "real" gamer. That's just silly. Gaming is a wonderful hobby, and a central part of my lifestyle; but it's completely ridiculous of me to give someone else shit just because they don't play the "right" kind of games. …

Exactly. As the oldest, you're expected to be a back-up parent, more or less. I was definitely too young to be raising my siblings at 10, but that's exactly what happened when kid number 4 came along. I always tell people that I don't want kids because I already raised three.

Oh my gosh, my Latin teacher had us watch the entirety of I, Claudius. I loved that show! I can't find any recent articles about the HBO adaptation...does anybody know if the project is still in motion?

My parents went searching for my diary to figure out why (at 14—-gasp!) I was acting "strangely." Um. I was barely a teenager and had just been uprooted and moved to a new state? Whatever. I had just started wondering about my sexual orientation because I had a huge crush on a girl at school—-that was something that…

My boyfriend works in the field, and said he's only seen one woman set foot on a rig site while he was there. Three states, and dozens of rigs. One woman. But based on his description of the lifestyles and personalities of most of the men working on those sites...well, I wouldn't want to work in that sort of…

Oh god, this made my night. Thank you.
