As a child who was repeatedly force by her mother to hug random adults, I very much approve of this message. I read an article (forgot where) that said that parents’ forcing their children to hug others is the first lesson into the demolition of a sense of security and learning that their body is not their own. And…

This is important because so many people encourage kids to hug or kiss people they might not want to - whether it’s an adult or other kid. I mean. The intent is not bad, it’s cute or charming.

“hellacious, I’ve nearly lost the will to live”

So, they put her on speaker and made a video of the conversation. They intentionally mumbled the word “consensual” in a blatant attempt to trick her into saying something exculpatory. Bros over hos, AMIRITE?

“What he did, obviously from what you explained, is terrible,” the fraternity member told her, “but I do want you to think about what the consequences [are] with him and his future. …”

You know what, it’s quite plausible that she’s devastated at the thought of not having her dad in her life

Repeatedly. Repeatedly raping your 12-year old daughter. He was only charged with the one count in the end, but it happened more than once.

He is not a monster, just a man that really screwed up and has been paying in many ways.”

Guys, my (Latino) husband doesn’t know it yet because he’s not home, but our couples Halloween costume is now Nasty Woman and Bad Hombre, this nightmare election is finally giving me something useful.

When I was about 22 ish (back when the Loch Ness monster was just a tadpole) a 60ish man put his hand down my skirt and squeezed my ass at a charity function. My then boyfriend tried to make me tell someone, but all I wanted to do was leave.

Do you remember when Ted Cruz was spouting off about carpet bombing (which verse was that in the Bible? I can’t remember) and Obama went on the record saying essentially “That is a literal war crime. We are bombing as much as intelligence allows.”

Let’s be clear about something...

I appreciate and respect the sentiment, the bravery, and the integrity in taking a stand even in the face of violent opposition.

I have been saying this for months now but people keep insisting that he’s smart, just arrogant. NO. He’s both.

Lil Jon confirmed reports that Donald Trump called him “Uncle Tom”

Oh, but Crooked Hillary is rigging the election.
