Because once he was skinny, surely all those horrible traits went away with the fat. Right?

My personal favorite:

Please don’t reply to any transphobic comments or people calling her “Bruce.” Just flag as the hate speech that it is and move on.

The comments here are going to turn into a shitstorm of epic proportions, so would anyone like to talk about the weather? Post puppy gifs? Has anyone bought any cool shoes recently?

Not to mention having a close relationship with a teacher gives him a reason to hang around schools... :/

I feel like they said this in an attempt to remove blame from the corporation and place it on his (alleged) girlfriend.

yes, especially after reading all the stories from Jezebelites (??) about emancipated themselves because their parents were controlling of their online presence and reading everything/invading their privacy. What is a parent to do? We are damned if we monitor and damned if we don’t. As a mother of a tween I need to…

But not too many. Facebook in high school was like, “She has over a 100 likes on her profile picture so you know what that means.”

The article is short but worth a read. It discusses how patriarchy, bruised egos and male entitlement contribute to the male mass killers in North America. The comments quickly devolved to #notallmen MRA male tears mess. I mean, basically, the comments proved out part of the article’s thesis.

Yeah, that comments section was a real shitshow.

Just do what I did in high school: have no sex and no friends. I turned out just fine!

It’s so weird to me that these people are OBSESSED with motherhood, but they don’t seem to actually like ... mothering their children. Like, they train their babies to be as unintrusive as possible, and then have older kids raise the younger ones as soon as they’re able (“able”).

That was really sad to read. With 20 kids, you aren’t so much parenting them, as warehousing them.

no that occurred to me too. Michelle is so the “perfect wife and mother” who feels she MUST pass down her knowledge she would feel that something must be said to the woman that failed her son.

I wish I could say this was uncommon. But growing up in fundamentalism, we were taught that the only acceptable emotion was happy and blessed. You weren’t allowed to be angry or sad or disappointed. I wasn’t in a cult like this (Thank the Lord,) but what I was taught wasn’t so different. I actually had to learn how to…

I think he definitely needs treatment! But it needs to be cognitive behavioral therapy so that he can learn to actually empathize with others and take responsibility for his own actions. “Sin” and “temptation” are not to blame for him molesting those little girls or for his extramarital affairs: only he is to blame…

“They always got 15-minute, one-on-one sessions with their mom every week. That was the time to share their feelings, but other than that they had to keep their feelings to themselves.”

Maybe I’m rusty from being away for so long, but I have no snark for her. I legitimately feel sorry for her. To feel so trapped that you can’t leave your husband after you find out he’s molested 5 little girls, most being his sisters, is a horror I could never imagine. His infidelity is just the sick cherry on top of…
