I’ve been wrongfully imprisoned before...it was terrifying. I can’t inagine what it was like for her. I was an adult but because of a clerical error, literally someone just leaving a piece of paper on their desk instead of filing it, I answered a doorbell one night to find multiple cops fully kitted out asking for…

Those police officers should be in prison for endangering the welfare of a minor and for kidnapping.

This is why I’m single. I find guys who claim they are drawn to my independence, my dedication to creative work, etc only to find they get pissy and irritable when I don’t stop doing those things after we’ve coupled up. Sorry dearest, but I’ve known music, dance and art longer than I’ve known you. Those things aren’t…

this is why i haven’t gotten married.

Unfortunately I don’t think that a person who doesn’t trust statistics that don’t even apply to them has the rationality to respond to even the most persuasive argument. People that hold power typically want to keep it and asking them nicely to please stop oppressing us isn’t going to get anywhere.

He used “sexistly,” so I think he he’s most definitely a hugely good Englisher.

Showing her wig would be more freedom than half the actual human beings in Saudi Arabia get, so...

You’re speaking my exact thoughts.... it kinda scares me because I feel these EXACT thoughts. You’re smart.... I like ya.

“I think most women aren’t ready to deal with the fact that 99% of men seem to have low key (if not high key) bipolar/schizo/sociopathic/narcisstic etc etc. Like its not even a mental health issue at this point, its like the norm with men.”

So many men can look you straight in the eye and say they didnt do/say/act something they blatantly did. Women probably can do the same but men really seem to lie with a level of commitment where I think they’ve actually completely compartmentalised what they did. Like they actually don’t remember what they did until…

It’s weird - I’ve been a pretty thoughtful and bold feminist for some time now, and yet there are still pieces of my past that elude me. When I was sixteen, I was at a live-in Catholic informal liberal arts program where we started out with 20 students and ended up with 13 by the end of the year (so small and…

This is so meta. Teen girl needs to adopt male alter-ego to be taken seriously in baseball journalism, but adopts male alter-ego of a sketchy jerk, gets busted.

Bingo. I would say she is definitely somewhere up the sociopath line.

Good at pretending, but when it all comes out, mostly/all concerned about the consequences to them, rather than other they hurt.

Cheating is not very dignified either and if you want proof that someone has deceived you, I think you have a right to get it. I’d only feel guilty if I didn’t find anything.

Was he working with others?

they need substantial proof about why he did it.

Who cares? What does his phone matter? Psycho shoots up church. Do we think there is critical info on his phone? Like he’s a member of a secret society out to shoot up churches? This is just the FBI/DOJ looking for another excuse to outlaw encryption.

And most state laws have a “Romeo and Juliet” exception that negates the law if the parties are within two years of each other, so 16 and 18 = no probs. 14 and 19 is a huge age difference and the 19 year old should have known better.

I’m so sick of this argument. Like every couple that has a wide age difference is prosecuted. Realistically DA’s aren’t going around willy nilly looking for 19 year olds with freshman partners to prosecute. Generally there is a history of the couple being told that their behavior is wrong and needs to stop, abusive…
