The Daily Beast article linked in the previous Jezebel post wraps up with a paragraph that gave me chills:
@dayslikethis: Yes, someone should really go all Lisbeth Salander on this guy's ass (literally).
Ugh, ugh, ugh... skin crawling....
@afinidad: ugh, true, but hopefully not involving ass welts! haha
This is just so ridiculous. It especially bugs me since a lot of kids do frats/ sororities because they know that it will aid them professionally later on. Why should access to professional networks involve violence, humiliation, and intimidation?
@DepecheNode: So, so awesome.
@SilentShout and PhillyLass: Everything you said is true, certainly there are horrible parents that do real, long-term damage to their children. But the article wasn't about abusive parents, it was about normal, loving, trying-their-best parents feeling like they have to be perfect, and stressing out when they…
@OracleofGomorrah: Yes! I think this has to be a huge part of it. Ever since Freud we've been told that our shortcomings, anxieties, sexuality, even autism (!) come from our awful parents- and of course that often means mom.
Um, not really seeing this as terribly enlightening. It seems that the only new "information" relating to the alleged rapes is Gawker writer Adrian Chen's opinion on the case.
@chicaferoza: Oh, don't worry- I'm sure there will be scenes of these women bitching out their housekeepers!
Wow, and here I thought any designer would be dying to put their clothes on Christina Hendricks! She's one of the most beautiful women in the public eye at the moment, and definitely one of the most celebrated.
Wow, got some serious Beauty and the Beast fans here!
Ah, wonderful. I was waiting for someone to look into these guys. Thanks, Jezebel!
It seems pretty obvious to me that in this type of case, with an older displaced homemaker being abandoned, making sure that the husband is required to pay substantial spousal and child support, as well as legal fees, would be a lot more helpful to the wife than allowing her to keep the husband chained to her. This…
Yeah, not really feeling any outrage at 4chan right now. Kind of all getting directed elsewhere- namely the horrible excuse for humans that could do this. Go 4chan (in this instance)!
@missteenwordpower: No kidding... this isn't something I would do, mainly because I don't want extra hassle and don't like cakes much, but I don't see any reason to go all bitchy about it.
I hate her because she's a lousy mom. She actually reminds me a lot of my grandma, at least the parenting style. Always cold, critical, not listening to the kids or caring about how they feel, what they think...
@addictedtopez: Regardless of whether the victim is female, I just can't stand these movies! I don't want to watch people get tortured and murdered.
Jesus. Christ.
