I don't know what that term is exactly….I suppose it should be added to the bingo card?

Oh boy, I don't remember that chapter.

Your story is far too common. If you read threads on any rape story you will see women who have been denied justice, and threatened by the justice system that is supposed to protect them and punish the criminal.

I have another sister who is forever insisting I need to have children and if I don't I will wind up old and selfish. I had a "cat mother" I know I would be cat mother and I won't perpetuate the cycle.

That is an awful outlook on life.

This is what I don't get, MRAs or neck beards like to say that betas are the one women keep around. So why not be a beta?

I thought it was quite upbeat and practical considering the time it was published in.

I found this photo I sent to friends when she gave it to me.

She got married at 19. I don't know what she'd do if her husband died, probably throw herself on the funeral pyre. LOL thats terrible.

I have the original I guess, its bound with an orange cover.

The funny thing is I never complain about my lot in life. I like being alone and I haven't met the right man for me.

It is in my storage unit right now but its from 1936 and a lady named Marjorie Hillis wrote it.

A book called "Live Alone and Like It." From the 1930s. From my sister.

Ah yes the former fatties shame

I met one in real life!! He tried to wear it in public with me. LOL!!!!!

We should make a MRA bingo card for the trolls.

Only certain dudes, whose idea of masculinity is skewed to say the least.

That is depressing. The "old dogs new tricks" rule applied to domestic violence.

There are so many unreported rapes. Unreported to the police, unreported to anyone.

Please let go of your guilt. You are a victim and considering how rape victims are ostracized you can't be blamed for your reaction. It was self preservation.
