I think you are right.

I fucking would’ve forced that guy to give me a ring. Mr. Softee, man.

Apparently her life wouldn’t matter if she were single. What if she were a Black married woman?

I sincerely hope that if each of them had been alone they would have helped him. Maybe these kids were just a bad combination together, showing off to each other. I cannot imagine how his fiancee and family feel.

Isn’t that the thing though? If the parents were Black (or Hispanic), the kida would be removed, and that would be a good thing. It isn’t just that children of Black or Hispanic or Native American parents are taken away, regardless of circumstances, it is that children of white parents are not, regardless of…

THAT is what makes things extra fucked up. There are kids taken away from Black parents when they shouldn’t be, and kids not taken away from white parents when they should be.

She suspected child abuse because your daughter knew the correct anatomical names? That is so creepy.

I was curious about that since the article mentioned poor Black and Hispanic women. What about compared to poor White women? Or, wealthy or middle class families of any race or ethnicity?

Paline was a nightmare and was the reason I voted for Obama. This is a tragedy for himself and family. Horrible.

I was thinking that exact same thing. My aunt’s breast cancer spread to her brain and it explained a lot of her behavior in the year up to her death. I feel horrible for him and his family.

You said “virginity as a state of being makes me shudder.” Maybe you wrote in a way that wasn’t clear to me or others, but that sounds like you are saying her virginity or “long-term” virginity makes you shudder.

I am noticing in certain circles prude shaming is acceptable but slut shaming is not. Both are wrong.

Why does her choice for herself make you shudder? Pretty sure if she said she first had sex at 15 and has fucked a thousand guys and someone said it made them shudder, it would be agreed it is slut shaming and that it is fucked up to do so.

My mom had me at 35-almost-36, my brother at 41-almost-42. No one thought my mom was my grandmother, but they did once ask my brother about his grandfather, our dad.

If you go to a public school in NYC, you will go to school with people from all kinds of backgrounds. My high school was very very immigrant/children of immigrants. Many of us were upper middle class (parents came here for phDs and stayed). And some of us had parents who didn’t earn much money - like, lawyer in…

By the time I saw Thelma and Louise Brad Pitt was famous. But Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise made me realize I liked dudes. Up until then, I had no clue what I liked. He was so...damn in that.

Man, Brad Pitt, for me, looks exactly as good as I remember.

B is a snake for trying to sleep with her when he knew how she felt about A? SHE was in the relationship. She could’ve chosen not to sleep with him. None of them come across as great people. Also, they’ve been together for 2 fucking months. Maybe she should talk to him about it once they’re on more solid ground.

Or the fact that no woman ever has “babysat the kids,” while men do this all the time. Like, they’re your kids.

But isn’t that always the case with divorce? The non-custodial parent gets to have children with all the work? And in this case, she might have to pay alimony. But she will be better off.
