No, it obviously doesn’t matter that you and I specifically, no, but discussing an illness in public can absolutely put pressure on someone to seek help.

Because at some point, the person’s health is more important than maintaining their friendship. Addiction is allowed to continue because people don’t talk about it. This puts pressure on Doc to get clean in a way that staying silent doesn’t.

This is the worst comment of 2016. You should feel bad.

It must be weird going through life desperately looking for thing to be outraged about. Christ.

This is a very original joke that I haven’t seen before.

Sane comment. Well done.

He’s an asshole for describing the piece as glib and simplified? Why?

Starred for using ‘begging the question’ correctly.

How is it difficult to understand? Huh?

Are you saying he finished after she changed her mind?

This woman is a badass, but the Mountain is in no way built like her. And that’s okay!

I don’t disagree. I simply believe that it’s a bad example of sexism, as I believe similar language would be used if this dude had proposed after his own medal.

Agreed. It could very well fetch a headline on Jezebel either way.

Sure, it’s a problem with how much society values romantic relationships/marriages, perhaps, but this isn’t a very good indication of reducing the women’s medal, as they’re both medal winners, and this is the only reason either of them are in the British and American media.

That fact doesn’t contradict what I said, though. At all. My point is that if a man proposed at his ceremony after winning a medal, that same type of banal commentary would be included.

If no one cared about a bunch of girls, they wouldn't have been chosen as the hostages. Your second sentence is bizarre.

It’s almost a near certainty the same commentary would be made if Michael Phelps proposes after winning a race.

The same banal commentary would have been made if it was a man who medaled and then got engaged.

Random Twitter comments? That’s it?
