It likely wasn’t. Smooth move getting a stale story pushed up into the news cycle.

Does she write for Jezebel?

(you could have just told me I'm victim blaming... You'll get me next time champ!)

Why even have the window down if you don’t want to be bothered?

Agreed. If it were up to me we wouldn’t have guns at all. But I don’t make the rules, so the 2nd amendment stands.

Exactly, my take away from that exchange was that he was helping her mother while they sat on their asses and openly made fun of him. That's the action of an inconsiderate asshole; not a challenging person.

Actually, I personally am more worried about accidental firearm deaths than intentional ones. Look at all of the toddlers and children who are killed because they find an unsecured gun. I don’t know if we need to relinquish our right to bear arms, but there should damn sure be mandatory gun safety classes and…

But the best trolls? The best trolls don’t troll all of the time. It’s good to post things that are accurate and insightful and which people like. And when trolling, be well-spoken and verbose so that there is always some doubt whether or not you’re actually trolling. Don’t be afraid to post facts and even links to…

Dude, this was back when a firearm *would* protect you against “tyranny in government”.

Do you mean death rate? Because it sounds like you are implying that people use cars more than guns to commit murder.

Gator wrasslin’ isn’t taught in Basic, as far as I know.

That and guns predate cars by several hundred years.

Yes, as someone who has a brain injury from an automobile accident.

What jinni learned, today:

I am male and I agree with the other commenters that either “challenging” is much too generous to describe this woman, or at best she is “challenging” in a really bad way. Perhaps an unacceptable way.

Other girls we knew let their boyfriends open car doors, pay for things. They liked to feel safe. We, on the other hand, liked to fuck with men, and also with each other, heckling each other’s boyfriends and thwarting each other’s attempts at romance for kicks.

I was thinking that too. Mocking the guy who was helping with the groceries was just rude.

What you would call ‘challenging’ in a woman, you’d surely call at least borderline ‘abusive’ in a man. My rule; people who are ‘challenging’ should accept an equally challenging partner. This is not what I’ve read out of this. She’s been looking for a human Piñata who will simply absorb anything she levels at him.

There can be a fine line between being challenging and just being an asshole. This veered into the latter territory (and I don’t even mean the boner poke, which was just insecure and weird).

It’s very hard to both acknowledge that Clinton’s popularity is mired by sexist attitudes about women in public life, and that there are also other reasons why folks distrust her or dislike her. If you bring up one of these points, people tend to hit you over the head with the other fact, as if they can’t both be…
