Great food for thought, Diana.
Great food for thought, Diana.
And even then, what's the insult? "You looked cute in this swimsuit one time. Ha-ha, nailed you."
Presumably, you've seen this play by now. But repeated viewing is instructive, because enough looks at this…
It seems to me that most of these arbiters of what women over whatever the #$%^ age should be wearing, are young babes who are gloatingly saying "lady, you don't have the right to look cute or attractive any more. You relinquished that right when you had the stupid bad judgment to age. Sorry, darling, but you're…
You know, I struggle with this daily. I'm 52, and live in a beach community, and after a youth spent in the smallest string bikinis possible, for so many years, I made sure I had the tankini/skirt combo going on. Age appropriate, you know? This past summer, the 30 and 40 year-old women I was hanging with on the beach…
I don't know if you've ever worked as a baker, but traditionally we are only allowed to use one standard carton of 12 eggs per day. That's why it's such a difficult career path - you must learn to budget the dozen eggs to last through the entire day.
I cannot argue with such flawless logic.
I know what a baker's dozen is. It generally refers to baked goods. Egg are traditionally sold in cartons as a set of 12.
Please keep talking, this is going great for you
I will slowly lure all the Sportatorium commenters over here with stories about strippers and you will all be exquisitely uncomfortable but also very well informed about the feminist issues of the day, MY PLAN IS FLAWLESS
I kind of feel the same way. Like... I won't call for her head or anything and I know it's complicated but it's really, really hard for me to muster much sympathy. I'm too horrified thinking of what pain and terror that poor baby's life was filled with.
+1 for crowdsourcing child harassment techniques.
I have a 16 month old and reading this and then looking at him breaks my heart.
That's why she got the child endangerment sentence and not also a murder or manslaughter charge. We cannot know what she went through in this horrific situation that she had to live every day, but clearly the judge determined that her circumstances (abusive boyfriend, social status, etc) were mitigating factors that…
What a fucking horrible tragedy. It's hard to tell what really was going on with her. She could have been concurrently abused and convinced that the safest thing for her child was to not report the abuse.
Is it really re-victimizing someone? If you are abused, obviously you are a victim, but if it is proven you are unable to protect your children/continuing to put them in dangerous situations, you shouldn't have your kids anymore. Someone who can protect them should have them.
As a child whose mother failed to protect her from abusive stepfathers/boyfriends, I say fuck her. Children are utterly defenseless and can't leave an abusive situation under their own power. This woman's kids didn't choose her shitty boyfriend.
It is SO hard for me to subscribe to this theory. I want to be generous of spirit and forgiving, but my sympathy well is close to dry. It's hard for a child to accidentally get burned, repeatedly, and burns are exceedingly painful and scary. If the moms are, for whatever reason, unable to protect their children, maybe…
What do you do if their shoes don't match?
