Yes, my therapist said that rape victims tend to choose one extreme or the other. They either go full nun or full party girl. Obviously, there are exceptions.

Unfortunately, that’s not true. In the State of New York, there is no law that prohibits police officers from having sex with people they have in custody.

The only slightly political thing I ever heard my grandfather discuss was the JFK assassination. He was convinced LBJ was behind it. I have no idea why but it became my favorite theory simply as an homage to my Papa.

I don’t know that that’s true. I have heard stories from women your age who told friends and then felt doubly victimized when met with the attitudes you described. So they stopped talking about it because they didn’t want to be labeled as not cool or a drama queen. But inside, they were traumatized and hurt by…

Madeline Hunter, Loretta Chase, Grace Burrowes, Julia Quinn, Laura Kinsale.

NDAs are void if the behavior is illegal. The problem is, you get sued and have to defend yourself and oftentimes you don’t have the money to pay for a lawyer while people like Weinstein do.

Rich, white people were always able to get an abortion, even before Roe v. Wade. Because abortions were legal if the pregnancy put the mother’s life in danger, many upper-middle class women would get their doctors to claim they were suicidal and, therefore, qualified to have an abortion.

I was quite the cute 16-year old, had an even cuter sister who was 15 and had a group of friends who also held their own (we were teens,it wasn’t that hard to be cute). In the 70’s, we had gone to see the Eagles in concert and, through our cuteness and some charm we had managed to con our way to the backstage area…

The women in these pictures make me sad.

Try BritBox. It’s subscription but it’s cheap.

Depending on the state you’re in, your employer can definitely fire you for your political views/activity. Some states have laws that protect you, some don’t. It’s not a federally granted right.

Because it’s in a classroom setting and the Supreme Court has looked upon schools as an extension of the government because it’s funded by tax dollars no also because school attendance is mandatory. This does not apply to your employer. The First Amendment only protects you from the government interfering with your…

They’ve had several circus aerialist acts over the years. I think some have even made it to the live shows but never to the finals. Circus acts just don’t get very far after the live shows begin.

I don’t think that’s what the post is saying. The post is not saying that Jemele was correct in her criticisms while Trump’s criticisms were incorrect or faulty. She’s pointing out how hypocritical Trump is for demanding Jemele’s resignation for her critical tweet when he spent 8 years tweetin similarly critical…

The key word in that quote is “child.” Yes, adult children and their mothers can be best friends. But a child and a mother should not. You cannot be an effective disciplinarian to your child if you’re his/her best friend. Nor can you set the appropriate boundaries. This was a statement about women who want to be…

I agree. I like to quote my mother who used to say “show me a child who has a mother for a best friend and I’ll show you a bad mother.”

Tiffany showed up at some campaign events for her father. She also spoke at the Republican National Convention on behalf of her father so I don’t believe she should be off limits. It’s just that, unlike her older siblings, she’s managed to keep a low profile so there’s really nothing to go after her about.

Omigod, the Jesus thread was the best. I still remember my favorite post as it combined Jesus with a Julia Robert’s quote: “Leave him alone, he’s 33.” There was also a thread about somebody’s cat that was pretty hilarious.

My niece and her husband have what they call a “Twix tax,” which basically means that they get all the Twix bars from any free candy their kids are given, whether it’s from Halloween trick or treating or birthday party gift bags or loot from a busted piñata. It’s the tax the kids have to pay in return for the free…

No, it’s okay to be Team First Wife (Mimi Rogers). She was raised in the Church. Her father was pretty up there in the Church hierarchy. She left the Church in the late 80s when the Church labeled her dad a suppressive person. I believe she tried to take Cruise with her but he was too far gone at that point. …
