If it’s supposed to be a joke, it’s not funny, because it is definitely the only way most men see women as human - when they think of the man she ‘belongs’ to.

I hate to admit this but at this point, watching those smug men lie and call victims liars decreases the barrier between hope and vigilantism in me. How fucking dare you, you bastards.

Sure, like anyone, she had the right to block people. We all have the right to be cowardly!

My most recent exes who had porn interests:

So let her life be a deluded and frustrated effort rather than suggesting she educate herself beyond her first-person experience? I’m so glad my friends and therapists didn’t take this approach with me. She could be really impactful and do some real good, but that would be hard....

Agree. 100%

Oh no no no. All pornography is not the same. This type of blanket statement/‘war’ is so flawed as to be untenable (see “war on drugs”).

I got my period, a migraine, almost lost funding for my job for the next year and had to take a personal loan from a friend; my ailing father had a terrible fall and refused to go to the doctor, and I spent part of yesterday cleaning his blood up from various places; the lead singer for one of my favorite bands is…

Thank you for bringing this into my life.

oh my God. that is hilarious.

I have experienced this a few times, usually with guys I didn’t take seriously as partners. Maybe the vulnerability thing is true. But I can also see it as an attempt to provide ‘attention’ before falling asleep or leaving.

I am making logical inferences based on her characterization that are in keeping with the clothes and home associated with Charlotte, just as you are doing with Carrie, only mine are based on obvious signs of class and wealth. If you are arguing that Charlotte afforded her lifestyle through working in museums and…

No. It’s really not. It’s a flaw, yes. Frankly I see moral arguments as no more than expedient ways to cut people down who make us uncomfortable, rather than sympathizing (which is *not* the same as giving them what they want), so we’re never going to agree on this.

He was horribly selfish and dishonest, including with himself. His ex warned her very clearly: “Nothing else exists when art does. Yes?”

I definitely didn’t mean to say that Charlotte wasn’t responsible with her money - I can see that it does look as if that’s what I meant. I just felt that the Carrie hate was a bit of a problem, and people seem to forget that Charlotte also threw tantrums and was offensively snobby much of the time. But these things…

The kinds of sacrifices Charlotte had to make are on an incredibly higher level than Carrie’s. A single person living in Charlotte’s neighborhood who had intermittent jobs but still always wore impeccable, very expensive clothing (though traditional and not as ‘tacky’ as Carrie) just can’t be compared to the other…

I didn’t say Carrie was good with money. I do think that this is the only time she ever asked for money from anyone, and it was a fairly emergent problem. I do still think that equating the ability to handle money with morality is a problem. Some people are born into poverty. It’s hard to get out of that, no matter…
