A lot of the white dudes are also abusers and rapists. People get upset about Kap, but where was the outrage at Rothlisberger? Oh, right, he’s white and his victims were women.
Since I’ve heard several times that the NFL is like high-paid slavery, let me add another slave analogy to the fray. Colin Kaepernick is the slave who ran free from the plantation, and his whiteballing is a public lashing where the other slaves are being shown exactly what happens when you decide to break free.
Quit watching football 3 seasons ago; my Sundays are so much more enjoyable now. Between the overt corruption of the NCAA and how they use their players like indentured servants, the appalling approach by the NFL towards things like CTE and player safety/health, and the disgusting, slobbering paid for “patriotism”…
I’m not lucky enough to have that excuse. My daughter is 2 and my wife owns my balls. So of course I’m getting out of the car to go get the fucking bottles.
BACK IN MY DAY WE SUCKED ON WET SPONGES STRUNG AROUND OUR NECKS AND RESOAKED THEM WITH OUR TEARS
Back in my day, when I needed a sip of water, I had to get permission from a nun to walk down the hall to the water fountain and be back in less than a minute. And we were never allowed to drink too much water because then we’d have to go to the bathroom. And guess what, she was right because hooo boy did I ever…
I just don’t get this though. It’s not the rest of their lives. It’s until their partner dies. I guess I’m an irrational bitch, but I would be badly hurt if as I lay dying my partner was off having sex with someone else. They can’t masturbate for a few years?
It’s flatly unethical. You don’t need religious moral doctrine to be an ethical decent person. It’s like listing “consider stealing or fraud” in a financial advice column. Why not just add rape? You’re risking someone’s emotional well being and physical health. This column is awful.
And that she had been hurt herself by being cheated on! Imagine reading that letter then telling HER to cheat?!
Yes! How hard is it to regularly buy a stack of Thank-you cards and a roll of stamps? I don’t know why some people find it such a burden to be polite.
Co-signed! Also, are you me from the not-too-distant future?!
Yes. Regularly cheating on someone who believes you are in a monogamous relationship-and who has expressly stated their desire for a monogamy-is sexual abuse, IMO. Tricking someone into sexual activity that they would otherwise decline? How can that be consensual? Jane should never have included that on the list of…
Exactly. Why would this be a good idea? The writer described what a lovely person her partner is. Why would doing something hurtful to someone you love be the answer?
Hard disagree. Write a goddamn thank you note. 3 lines: “Thank you for your sweet gift. Junior loves the [whatever]. We’ll think of you whenever baby [does thing, looks at thing. whatever]. Love & kisses/gratefully/humbly, New Parent. Same script for all gifts, so don’t worry about being that personalized (unless your…
Had the same reaction to “detach from your mother” in re: letter 2. Wait, what? 1) LW wasn’t asking for advice on that at all and 2) this doesn’t sound like a “put space between you and your mom” issue AT ALL. So the mom sends her reminders, a LOT of moms do that. And I don’t think the mom is so fucking off base that…
Can i be not a fan of suggesting she can get another partner without his consent? That shit happened to me after 4 years and my polyamorous friends were like “that’s not cool. People who cheat with the excuse of being polyamorous just give us a bad name.” If you’re dead set on that and it’s been discussed just end the…
“Get a lover or lovers without his consent. You wouldn’t be the first person.”
If you get a lover/lovers behind his back don’t be mad when he leaves you/hates you when he finds out. Just sayin.
