Oh, fuck you. My husband made piles and piles of money when we planned our family, but lost that job—at a company he had been with for nearly 20 years—while our baby was already in the works. We could have afforded six children, but our circumstances changed drastically. We’re back on our feet, but the time we spent…

This ^ so many people grow up getting whoopings that it is hard to change when you have your own child. You literally do not know another model and discipline your child out of love and what you know to do. Growing up being spanked, beat and hit with whatever is available makes me fearful I will fall into the same…

I had been waiting on a follow up article on that series and I agree that I was also surprised by all of the ‘bad mom’ comments, especially Vega’s. Growing up my parents spanked me with a belt (although not the buckle part) and most of my classmates had also grown up with similar punishments (switches, belts, etc.). I…

Except, with Trump I believe it. She’s not the first person to mention Melania having her own room. Trump himself bragged about how she has her own separate bathroom/bedroom. Melania’s friends have commented that she knew exactly who Donald was when she started dating him: womanizer. I think she married him for the…

Yeah. She sounded like she was victim-blaming herself. She said she made a stupid decision and this is the situation she wound up in

I think sometimes people feel like they have to fuck themselves out of certain situations if things get sexual. Her spanking him unexpectedly changed the atmosphere, he got horny, and it sounds like her feeling was “dammit, now I have to have sex with him.”. I used to feel that way sometimes, for instance if I started…

Her thought process that led to her having sex with him—“I had it coming for making a bad decision for going to someone’s room alone and I just heard the voice in my head, ‘well, you put yourself in a bad situation and bad things happen, so you deserve this’”—sounds exactly like people who defend Weinstein and others…

It was such a #metoo moment and she didn’t realize it. She felt she owed him sex because she ended up in a hotel room with him. The internalized misogyny and just...ugh.

So Stormy said she didn’t have her #metoo moment because she’s not a victim because the sex was consensual but she walked and talked like a victim to me. Trump’s behavior in that hotel was pretty much Harvey Weinstein’s MO. Towards the end when everyone was like “Why should we believe you now you’ve lied three times?”…

My takeaway - She told the truth and she’s got a great lawyer. Oh, and she definitely has some audio/video proof of their relationship. I just hope I never see Trump’s dick. The country’s been through enough.

It’s 2018, the President’s daughter is the Secretary of State now. Conflicts of interest: So hot right now.

In the BDSM play spaces I’ve been in, there was almost always a designated “dungeon master\mistress”(mulitple observers depending on how many people were attending) who was solely responsible for monitoring people’s activities for safety. They were experienced players that were well-known and trusted. They had the…

How do people feel about the potential conflict of interest in Angie Rowntree doubling as a consent advocate when working as a scene photographer for her HUSBAND’S company?

I once heard a woman say that every time you watch porn, you are contributing to the abuse that led the woman to do porn in the first place. Having a wife who was a stripper in LA and therefore knowing more than a few porn actresses, and ancedentolly knowing they have all been abused, I have not ever been able to be…

This is going to seem off topic, but bear with me. When I was in college, I was on a search committee for a new professor in our department. It was really cool that they had undergrads on the search committee, I think it was me and one other student. Anyway, we were there to represent the students’ interests in hiring…

Is it just me or is Tessa the combo of Reese Witherspoon and J Lo? I see what you did there Scotty, and I like it.

Okay, I realize I’ve been commenting all over this thread and have now become an obsessed fan. Whatever, my life is difficult right now, let me have something that brings a little joy (if also angst).

The way they look at each other....damn. Makes a cold dead heart flutter.

In my case, my husband really wanted bio-children if at all possible. I was much more ambivalent about bio-kids. Unfortunately, getting pregnant was not an easy task and we just about exhausted modern medicine’s options (if our last round of IVF hadn’t worked we were looking at donated eggs to use with my husband’s…

This is how you make young white women look like infants. She was 23 years old. She had graduated from college, could legally vote, legally get married, join the military, drink alcohol, marry someone 50 years older than her. She is an adult. This reminds of me when media refers to Don Jr., Kushner and Ivanka as…
