He was yelling “you never hit a girl” at his kid.

“Hey, girls, remember: When a boy hurts you, it means he cares.”

I have two very young sons and live in a very liberal city and its really been eye opening just how casually people put these beliefs on very little kids. My 3 year old will hug and then push a little girl in the playground and the total crunchy granola hippy mom next to me will be all like “uh oh, someone has a…

As the mother of 2 boys, I’m becoming very aware of the weird way we teach them things. At my son’s playgroup a dad got super angry at his son when he got into a tussle with a little girl over a toy. He was yelling “you never hit a girl” at his kid. And I was just thinking “Dude, why not teach him not to hit ANYONE.”

I never rape the women I see smiling at me. I’m ready for my prize now, Nobel committee.

LET’S MAKE THIS BOOK HAPPEN.

My shitty life is infinitely better. Sure, I have my issues, but at least I kind of chose he majority of them myself.

If the Kardashians can write books so can Anna Duggar.

Your mom is? Oh no. I feel for you both. I imagine you’ve tried to help her quite a few times already?

She always has the option of writing a kickass tell-all book. I would love to see her throw the lot of them under the bus, get a haircut and move to the big city with her kids. That I’d watch.

Yeah my mom’s in this situation and she stayed so...could be worse!

Unless that single supportive non-fundamentalist friend was willing to pay her bills until her children leave home, I’m not really seeing what explaining her “rights as an adult” would do to help her situation.

For real though. I’m grateful I ended up with my specific shitty life instead of her shitty life.

Maybe, but she’d at the very least have a support system that wasn’t indoctrinated with the same “well... God says (insert platitude here) and it’s partly your fault anyway for not being more “open” to him” crap that she was. If she were allowed at least ONE supportive non-quiverfull/fundamentalist friend she'd have a…

I pity her, she’s been raised not to see or know about the very real options she has.

Their brother, Anwar, is not bad either. Yolanda and Mohamed certainly made a goodlooking family.

Or a sex tape.

I’d prefer a bloodied sheet hanging out the window, thanks.

Guys, I just wished Merry Christmas to a secular humanist and he cut my arm with a machete. Call 911.
