how horrible. I’m sorry. But happy to hear he is an ex.

I almost laughed when I read that. This tragic desanguination. Because that normally occurs on its own all the time.

This! This is exactly what I told my mother when my brother was accused of domestic violence. I know you don’t think he’s capable of it. I don’t feel like he is either. But everyone says that and most of them are wrong. You have to accept you might be wrong and maybe he, like so many other men, is perfectly capable.

Some helpful hints before you post that #notallmen comment!

If their feelings are so delicate that the use of that quote might influence whether they’re on our side or not, they were never on our side to begin with.

I am well aware of the campaign against Rachel. Almost all of it originates with Gaye Dalton, who in case you’re unaware, conducts herself as would a stalker on twitter, constantly harassing Rachel or anyone who dares to mention her. But let’s assume Rachel is a mustache twirling, villainous fraud. ...How about the…

... people process events in different ways. What the fuck is your problem?

Might be a better analogue to Bill Clinton - what he did was wrong but for it to rise to the level of impeachment was due more to opportunistic partisan fighting than an actual attempt at correction.

Wow, that is horrifying and fascinating. I did not realize the legal definition of mayhem was so much worse than the general use of the word.

My sister-in-law had her and my brother’s first kid last year. She said when she was being released from the hospital, my brother was out of the room, probably bringing the car around front or something, and one of the nurses asked if my sister-in-law felt like she and the newborn baby would be safe alone with my…

yes it is far too early to speculate why this privileged wealthy white man might have barricaded himself inside with a body he mutilated

let’s just allow him to be peacefully white and wealthy for a few moments longer before speculating

just a few moments

“It’s very early to make a conclusion as to what the cause, intent, motive and facts were to this unfortunate tragedy.”

I was hoping we'd get through a day without needing to say that. *resets the sign back to zero...from the zero it was on already*

Oh that is so heartbreaking. Everything about that story makes me sad. I hope you got out OK.

Also this may have been a clue to his violent tendencies:

Says his divorce attorney Ronald Richards, “Him being violent is so uncharacteristic of the person I’ve known for many years.”The classic line of all friends, acquaintances and family of abusive people. FFS will someone just accept that you don’t know what is going on behind closed doors and that someone you may like…

No, I live in a small and very regressive Eastern European country that the West does not give a flying fuck about. If these criticisms were directed at my country (and many of them easily could be), I would welcome them with open arms, because criticism is necessary and crucial for progress.

Jezebel also publishes articles that expose the“retrograde culture” of the US, though. There are articles about women’s rights being rolled back almost every week.

It is a risky practice to write off carefully considered opinions on matters of conscience. A lack of respect for differences of opinion (especially when they are a matter of degree as it appears in this case) creates a combative public discourse. It’s fine to question or to respectfully debate a point, but you’re…

Race is perceived differently in places like Brazil in that a person that looks obviously mixed but has paler skin may be called “white” there, but make no mistake that anti-Blackness is the law of land, and Black Brazilians are severely under-represented, even though the majority of the country is either Black or…
