This line of argument (“girls can hit me, but I can’t hit them back, isn’t that so unfair”) bothers me so much.

OR how about doing a ground breaking expose on what the girls in that school have to put up with in terms of Trump’s america.

It sounds like mom’s a bit of a psycho...? “Yes, that’s what I would do in that situation.”

And the girl “slapped” him, but according to him he had cuts all over his face? That’s not a slap- more like she was wearing a ring and closed fist punched him several times. So either way he’s lying- he did something shitty and got beat up by a girl, or his injuries were not nearly what he was claiming. I’m going…

“I guess girls sometimes just do that,” he says. “It happened once when my mom was in high school. A girl purposely broke her own arm just to get another person in trouble.”

Seriously, what’s with the constant references (real or not) to women attacking him!? I’ve worked in a high school (not far from west Bend, actually, with similar demographics) for 15 years and I can count on one hand the # of times we’ve had a girl hit a guy: one because the guy spread rumors that he had nudes of her…

My thoughts exactly. Why didn’t he just stop with the door? Oh, right, because “he had every right to do it”. This is what enrages me about conservatives - they claim everyone is so entitled these days, then when someone calls them out for doing something that is rude or annoying or generally a shitty thing to do to…

That’s rural Wisconsin. These idiots always have some anecdote (or, more likely, made-up bullshit) that will “prove” their point regardless of how much actual data or how many facts you throw at them.

I read the article, and while, for the most part he sounds pretty much like I’d expect some kid growing up in a conservative town, yeah, he’s got some weird thoughts on women and violence.

I would guaran-damn-tee that if we dig even a little bit into this dude’s history, he’s absolutely a Gamergate fanatic.

You’re reading a media critique from a site that does media criticism. Jesus, did you flip out every time you came across an Ebert review, screaming yourself hoarse that he didn’t make any fucking movies, etc.?
Or, using your flawless logic, maybe you should start your own media outlet.

Also, like, we all HAVE TO critically analyze the things our parents tell us! My mom’s a racist but unfortunately (for her) raised her children to be intelligent, so I learned how to talk back when she would say offensive shit. Just because your mom claims a girl she went to HS with broke her own arm to blame someone…

That’s all I was thinking— how could they not talk to the girl involved? I guarantee it was more than a door opening and shutting! This dude is an admitted misogynist and you, a journalist, are going to let him spew his lies in a national publication without fact-checking?? I’m so sick of treating these trump…

“It happened once when my mom was in high school. A girl purposely broke her own arm just to get another person in trouble.”

Won’t someone think of the poor white guy that just wants to use racial slurs, insult women and physically control them and not made to feel like he’s being an asshole? For real I’ve about had it with these fucking puff pieces. How about a long feature on how black and brown men are now being targeted because of these…

“Ryan is convinced that if it had been a fight between two girls, things would’ve been different. He has this idea that since I’m a woman, if I were in the same situation, I could do whatever I wanted. I could pull out a knife and stab a guy, and I wouldn’t get in trouble.”

This kid’s take on hunting basically sums up the mentality of all these fucking dickheads.

I really think she and Harry or maybe their team were anticipating him selling the letter. I really think they goaded him into doing that. The letter confirms everything leaked in the People magazine story and makes him look like a crazy, opportunistic liar. He said she cut him off completely and never mentioned the…

Daddy Markle will never stop. He’s happy trading the possibility of rebuilding a relationship with his daughter for a quick $10K every few weeks. Probably got double that for turning over the letter.

The next step for Meghan is to cut him off entirely. He is a toxic person and she doesn’t need that kind of stress right now.  How vile her entire dad’s side of the family is.
