I’m right there with you. I made a similar post, but took it down before anyone could see it.

Alright y’all. Buckle your seatbelts. I know you’re prob tired of hearing about the Donald but I haven’t found a good venue to talk about this until this post.

Once in a club a strange girl who I did not know walked right up to me and grabbed me in the crotch.

I am 32. I consider myself a strong ass woman. Not a victim. NEVER a victim. But what is shocking, and humbling about this entire election is the fact that other women are speaking out about things that I have just accepted in my life as part of being a woman, and that I’ve forgotten about until now. I truly forgot

I think we all know why.

My brother has/had mental health issues and “call the cops” was the advice his psychologist gave to my parents when he acted semi-aggressively as a teen, less than 5 years ago. He wasn’t violent, just angry, and never brandished a weapon. They took her up on her advice many times, despite my pleas not to (I would

A republican co-worker brought up the debates last night. She said-did you notice that Hillary said she wouldn’t accept him as president if he won but Trump said he would accept her? That’s the only thing she focused on. I’m completely flummoxed.

50%+ of my family are Republican. When I posted on Facebook that I question the judgment of anyone who actually believes Trump is qualified to be President, the only person who argued with me was the ex-brother-in-law who regularly posts memes that were debunked by Snopes two years previously.

Well, one reason is the fact that coal is the only good job available in parts of Appalachia. That’s one reason.

I wash my face last so I can be sure no pore-clogging conditioner sticks around.

Okay so like, I get the rhetoric about protecting our guns and saving us from terrorists and obamacare is literally going to kill us all - you have to be insane to believe all of those things, but ok, sure. I genuinely do not understand how anyone could utter this phrase like it’s a good thing:

I don’t want to defend this officer in any way, but it sure is surprising the swiftness with which this action has been taken, how quick the condemnation and disavowels came from her own force. Wonder if her being a woman has anything to do with it. The thin blue (male) line.

Marriage isn’t “just a fucking word”. It’s a legal status with fairly extensive implications in healthcare, tax, child custody, inheritance, property ownership, civil and criminal legal cases, pensions etc. Marriage doesn’t protect spouses from cheating or leaving, sure, but that’s a massively different thing from

If someone leaves a suitcase on the street in NYC unattended for a decent amount of time, I’d consider it abandoned, and up for grabs. I wouldn’t consider these guys thieves -- it’s not like they were trying to steal a suitcase out from under someone.

Agreed. I mean, legally once something is in the trash it is fair game. So it is annoying to me that people keep referring to them as thieves. There is a huge difference between scavenging and stealing.

Is that guy Muslim?

Number of times I get sick per year when I freak out about it: <1

I’m aware that terrorists want to scare people (the term “terrorists” sorta implies that).

Maybe it’s a Southern thing, but my 71 year old father still refers to his father as “My daddy.”
I think it sounds less creepy with the drawl.

There is already a standard set for civilian prisons:
