(°-°)....I'm a valet and a jalop. Saddens me when people with sticks refuse to valet or watch me like a hawk, but I understand it at the same time.

Class of 2002, 29yrs old and I HATE voicemail. Chances are, If I don't answer your call, I'm at work or I don't feel like hearing your voice. Besides texting and other instant messaging allows for more information to be broadcast without the task of filtering through the nuances the human voice that can interfere…

It's ok, because patriarchy or something.

Fellow "black card" holder? My apologies, carry on.

"This was the shit black people (use) to do..."??

Well I guess the Million Man March could be considered a form of non misogynistic MRA activism, though ironically a Million Woman March was formed soon after specifically because it was thought black women were excluded from the initial message, similar to how many MRAs probably feel excluded from the feminist…

Valid point, but how would an MRA actually engage in activism that wouldn't be automatically be dismissed as misogynistic? Given todays society, any concern about men and male wellbeing gets no respect unless every concern comes with the caveat of advancing feminism as its core belief.

STDs and rape, public safety concerns. Size and sexual skills are not. One may have the potential for public shaming, but one is intended specifically to shame.

Thank you sir, the record shall be updated accordingly.

"I'm not "name-calling". There is clearly something wrong with your moral judgement"

Thank you for the clarification. Admittedly the context in which the comment was made made it seem more akin to, " an R. Kelly sired child has no hope of a stable household no matter what the mother does." Im glad we're all on the same page as to the parents' messy personal issues being irrelevant to Jaya's…

So I see I struck some sort of nerve, because now we( more like ye) are resorting to questioning my parental upbringing( bonus points for assuming mother and that she was crappy) as reasoning for my opinion.

1) Patriarchal context refers to a interpretation of male/female ineractions based not purely upon facts but upon what "probably" happened. For ages that was how men justified not listening to women. Given actual patriarchal history and the gift of hindsight, that now means the majority of times a woman's actions…

Eh, one person's revenge is anothers' PSA. How many times has someone revealed domestic abuse in their past publicly without the intention of using said info to place the abuser in jail? I know Jez was really sparse on calling out Dylan Farrow for revenge concerning Woody Allen.

Fair enough, lets let this case play out and see if indeed she was infected prior to or during the course of the relationship. At least some of her friends seem to think so, Im inclined to agree.

That makes you slightly sucky IMO. You have an STD, you tell past partners simple as that. That's the adult thing to do.

"She says SHE refused to tell her ex-boyfriend why she was being treated at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center."

Lol...a semantic difference anyways..in the storm of shitty parenting I don't believe either comes out clean.

Hence patriarchal context. It allows this woman to take the position of the unknowing victim. What did she have to fear about telling past partners about exposure? I just read a little bit about syphilis, and from what I understand a timeframe of when the infection occurred can be established based upon the…

Fair enough. I get your intention, I just figured a more appropriate response, especially given your vigilance on pronoun usage, should have been more akin to, "why are people talking about the parents?"
