I also do this in reverse. Every time a story about sexual assault, Feminism, equal rights, black rights matter, homophobia, racist bullshit, etc etc etc comes across my timeline, etc, I click on it even if I’ve read it. I must have clicked on Ronan Farrow’s article a thousand times. The more we click on these things,…

What you say is absolutely true, and I whole-heartedly agree with you. However, let’s be honest here... you and I both clicked on this article and read it, which means that we are part of the problem and not part of your solution.

Because when you ask ANYONE for an intimate relationship sometimes the answer is “no” and you really must accept that even when it is not fair. It is impossible to demand love; love must be freely given; it cannot be taken.

i had a mom who limited my time with my father when I was a child and I reached out when I got older and he would go on and on about how she was the worst and how she kept me away from him and finally I had to say “I lived with her all of those years, you didn’t, so your relationship with me is up to you now.” It was…

I’m sorry for your situation, but without knowing more you can’t really know if your situation is similar to Megan’s. There’s a good chance that Megan’s father is toxic or abusive (he certainly acted that way during the engagement), and she cut him out of her life for a good reason. I have family members who are toxic…

I agree.

I’m not related to Robert the Bruce, but my family did support him when some Danes tried to invade Scotland.  For that, he made us nobility.  So, do I swear fealty to you guys now, or.....

Uh, no. I lost custody of my kids to my abuser, inspite of him pleading guilty to molesting a child, because he was a local politician. This means that every time I pick up my kids for my time, I have to face the man who literally beat me up and raped me and a male relative of mine. I also pay him child support. It’s…

Better yet, start a social media account solely dedicated to screaming about how Sammy and Daddy have always ignored and mistreated you, a fellow descendant of Robert the Bruce, and how you’re now going to speak out about their TRUE natures as duchASS-wannabes and grifters.

I think everybody has parts of this in their families. However:

This really needs more stars. Obviously most of us will not be offered interviews with tabloids BUT: if you have a problem with a family member do not talk shit about them to anyone but your closest AND most discreet family members and/or a therapist. Communicating unflattering information/opinions to others about…

You don’t know the details of their situation though. If we’re throwing anecdotal data out, I forcefully removed my father from my life because he’s a nasty, abusive, narcissistic asshole. If Megan’s situation is anything like mine, good for her for doing what is best for her even when it goes against the societal…

Im sorry that sounds super rough. And I understand why you might relate to the Markle family a bit but the situations seem worlds apart. I think the behavior of Meghan’s dad and sister speaks volumes to their character. 

Literally all they had to do is not talk to the press and it seems to be the one thing they cannot do.

I know a lot of people in situations similar to yours, and it sucks. From what I’ve read about the Markles, it seems she was quite close to her dad when she was younger (even after her parents split) but I get the impression her dad has been on kind of a downward spiral for a while. He had quite a lot of professional…

Markle and the British royals have ignored them since the lead-up to the wedding, and should continue. Unfortunately the tabloids live off this shit so they’ll continue to cover them as long as people continue to be interested in Meghan’s trainwreck relatives. 

Uh, no. Not the same situation. Daddy and half-sister are capital-N Narcissists. They’re toxic (OBVIOUSLY) and Meghan is wisely keeping her distance.

All the people contradicting you are similtaneously questioning the assessment BILLY JEAN KING has made of this situation and it’s not even making them stop and think. It really is true that sexism- like racism- is a helluva drug.

Holy shit...

Also this cartoon wouldn’t have been made about a man or a white woman.
