At the time I recall someone pointing out that an iPhone absolutely would have put out confetti for that text.

I didn’t think they considered it a sentimental novel. That’s more an 18th century Pamela style. Little Women is a Bildungsroman.

THANK YOU. I’ve never gotten this book. Jesus Christ is it sappy. I tried to re-read recently and I just couldn’t take it.

So I saw this elsewhere with the headline “Justin Trudeau apologizes to LGBTQ” and had a brief moment of panic. I was just like “please no, not him, what did he do???” So relieved when I read the actual story.

I love everything about this (and benefit).

OMG this is such an amazing point and now I’m all in.

They changed a line in the text that implied that her bad day got worse.

Right! Maybe it’s not a “classy” way to handle it, but why does it need to be?

Same. The minor injury comment really pissed me off.

Nope. And if we’re going to believe victims it needs to go both ways. Otherwise we’re feeding the “you’re only supporting them because they’re women” bs.

Right. Especially since the implication is that she abused him too.

Isn’t is Dorsey who had the bad day? You know, being assaulted and all? Am I missing crucial info here or is this all a weird tone for a article on domestic violence?

My how relaxing. What an ass.

Couple guesses here. First off, you have to be able to prove the exact level of involvement. It’s possible that contributing was the best they could get without risking having them walk free. Secondly, it’s possible they got lesser charges in exchange for taking him down. Also, they were trying to prosecute him under…

Came to comment this. I’m guessing it was an amount thing(or preserving pricier ones). Cause that’s EXACTLY what these are ministers the usually gilded look.

Pain management while dying seems to be the suggestion? Don’t ask me why, but there is apparently evidence that they did. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150710-the-gruesome-untold-story-of-eva-perons-lobotomy

Yea, the photo I assumed was bunk. While lobotomies did sometimes leave big chunks scars, that I think is a shadow. It did make me google and find other sources. Like Wikipedia and The NY Times and the BBC. I think the BBC presented it as more fact based and I should have written that “there is evidence that they may…

I DID. I also stumbled across the fact that they lobotimized her during her illness. I guess they confirmed it back in 2011 but I’d never heard that.

Um that’s insane
