If contract reads plaintiff agrees to X and if violated constitutes a penalty of Y, then that is absolutely enforceable.  

I can’t just hear the right wing pundits try to make this mother seem like some money-hungry criminal but this is literally how the system works. Nothing changes without a lawsuit or risk of financial consequence, that’s just how it is. We are using every avenue possible to get our government to stop hurting children,…

Currently going through a divorce and let me tell ya, you pick your battles. I could totally see agreeing to that in exchange for stricter terms with Suri or control over finances. Not being public with a relationship is really not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things.

My aunt doubled down and has repeatedly said that Snopes is just fake news propaganda.

My mom is really struggling with losing life long friendships right now, I’m proud of her for growing and finding her voice, but the number of women her age who refuse to is crushing. 

Kudos to you. The only time I actively engaged was when my cousins wife posted some stupid shit on Facebook about the women’s march. You wanna questions what we were marching for, lemme break it down for ya............ she blocked me for a year afterwards.

His is definitely a cultural thing and I was definitely not raised that way. I benefited greatly from having two working parents and am extremely thankful for it. I never realized how poor we were but my parents definitely let us see what stress and exhaustion looked like. This not only made me respect them but I…

Sadly my abuelo is first generation American and he voted for Trump because “a woman can’t possibly be President”. The ignorance just seemed to roll right down to my current slew of cousins.

#Texpat here, genuinely terrified of Beto losing. I am an extremely vocal and proud liberal feminist snowflake and currently going through a divorce, if he loses I don’t think I can handle my conservative bible thumping racist as shit relatives at Thanksgiving this year. Like will get a note from my therapist so that…

New Orleans is so poor we can’t afford “I VOTED” stickers.  I wish that was a joke.  

The second baby was because she got pregnant in real life, but yeah, the Bernadette baby story line was really fucked up to begin with. Not only was she adamant about not wanting kids, she had damn good reasons to back it up. 

Same. Other than normalizing a gay relationship on screen there was nothing modern about any of this family.  

My dads “christian” side of the family in Texas apparently think my recent divorce is because I’m “too opinionated” and “didn’t let him be a man”.  Beto winning is the only hope I have that Thanksgiving won’t completely suck.  Have been donating $25 every paycheck, C’MON TEXAS!!!!!

Recently filed for divorce and am really tired of people expecting me to be a wreck, and then being weirdly disappointed when I’m not.

“.... the context in which the violence happened.”

Many of us have dated/married/had children with assholes for various reasons. I was young, naive, and had low self esteem. Others think that money brings stability and happiness. Surviving and escaping a shit situation will definitely make you a better person.  So the answer to “how much better can she be?” is LOADS…

Currently, a local food blog is doing better coverage of this than our local news station. It’s embarrassing.

Strange, they can even acknowledge their responsibilities and use self-control in their actions.  It’s almost like we should hold men accountable and to a reasonable standard.

Had a great conversation just last night about how important men are to the #metoo movement, have also had great conversations with my male boss about misogyny in the legal field and his role and responsibility in actively promoting our female associate including language and perceptions.

Because I wanted one, and then another one, and then another one. Only justification needed.
