Thanks for the insightful hot take!

No, not only does it not gloss over it, but there are several scenes wherein the victim goes to a therapist and her doctor not only tells her to get out before her husband kills her and make a safe place for her to go for herself and her kids, but also finally cuts thru the victim’s self denial by talking in her…

If the show presented it in a way that made no attempt to play down that this was an attempted rape and the magazines still called it a “seduction”, I don’t see how this article is an overreaction. Calling rape “seduction” is, even under the best possible light, totally bizarre.

A friend of mine has a daughter named The Red Queen. Her pit stain of an ex-husband named her after the character in the Resident Evil movie. I’ve known men who go by the nickname Red, but never anybody who actually had an honest to god The in their name.

Do it, I wish me and my wife did something cool like that. I get shit from her all the time about having my last name. My name is super fucking common Irish name, she is CLEARLY not fucking Irish. She gets asked all the time. “Do I look like I am afraid of the sun?” is her usual answer. After our Italian honeymoon…

I like Femail! it has two of my favorite things: op-eds with a stunning lack of self-awareness and the trashiest pap photos

Ooo! Ooo! Years ago, I was a teacher, I had a student with the last name Dingus and a student with the last name Mingus. Just a weird coincidence in a very small Appalachian town. However, in a previous generation, the two families intermarried and a child was named—and I am not making this up—Dingus Mingus. He was…

I knew a guy named Richard Head. And he went by Dick.

I went to high school with a girl named Crystal Leer. Thing is, her middle name is Chanda. Crystal. Chanda. Leer. This sounds like a terrible lie, but I knew her, if only slightly, and she was quite real. Of course, my high school also had a student named Candy Stoher, pronounced “store.” Combined with the fact that a…

There are a lot of differing philosophies amongst Protestants and Catholics (and LORD, especially between Protestant groups) but the three main concepts are the Catholic view of the Holy Trinity (God in three, essentially), Transubstantiation (the belief that when the bread and wine are blessed they become the body…

I had a friend in high school named Faith Meadows, full name Faith Sureis Harmony Inprairie Meadows. You may be unsurprised to learn she was born in a commune.

Honestly, I’m not sure. I’m jewish, but my understanding is that he is part of the Trinity, where in he is both father & son? Someone explained it to me after I asked why pray to the intermediary of your deity?

I know it’s going to sound like I’m making this up, but my aunt had a student named Clit. It was first grade so he and classmates were oblivious at that point. I’m assuming he goes by something else now...

I remember when a kid in our church apparently got named Canis, you named your kid dog. You are calling your kid dog.

My last name is pronounced “cane”

My wife and I did that! I love our badass last name—we are the SCULLINGTONS. I’ll be honest though, it did take a little bit of convincing.

I work in a field where I encounter many children. My latest weird one was a mom who named her kids Jordan (fine!) and....I thought she said “Georgia”...but NO! I was spelled JORJIA! She got sniffy when I asked her to respell it.

It’s a maturity test. You fail.

I am Muslim and it’s frowned upon in Muslim communities to name your kid Allah, because you’re NOT supposed to do that. Allah is ALLAH (God) and no humans can be God. I guess it’s the same thing with Christians, that it’s not normal to name your kid “God”. I don’t get why this couple wants to give their kids the…

Probably “Whatsinthebox.”
