Can you imagine having that weirdo as a father in law?

yeah it’s fair when this decision was probably made via some argument over tradition/religion and he’s a dude who cheated on his wife. this isn’t about diana’s actions, it’s about charles’s.

I’m sure this was all decided by the palace as being “proper etiquette” and “tradition” that an adult man must give her away. But it comes off super creepy that Harry’s dad is presenting his son with a bride. Why couldn’t her mom do it?

I could see Meghan not wanting to put all that pressure on her mom. But it seems silly to not just walk the whole thing by herself or have Charles walk her Down the whole aisle.

People with schizophrenia are far more likely to be the victims of violent crime than to be the perpetrators, so I’m inclined to think his claim of “hearing voices” is BS. I totally agree that he is dangerous and that the school failed this girl completely.

This does not surprise me. Here in Utah they do this ridiculous promprosal nonsense where teens ask each other in over the top public displays of affection. I had never heard of it before moving here, in my home town in CA no one did anything like this. But can you imagine if this twisted fuck stabbed a girl over a…

They should really start learning. It should not be my job to come up with 20 different ways to politely reject a guy because he has never had to worry about reading a situation.

why 25 years? He’s 18. Why not life?

You’d be surprised. I’m married now (not that that stops men from aggressively hitting on me) but I’ve had guys invite me to their house or to get in their car and go to another location with them. And I was always labeled uptight or a huge bitch for turning them down. Men fear rejection, but women fear being…

He probably pleaded no contest in exchange for 25 years, as opposed to going to trial where he may (should) have gotten life.

Honestly, your guy friends sound like assholes for not understanding that ‘fear of getting killed’ is an actual concern for most/all women trying to enjoy a night out.

The fact that he used a knife really gets me. That had to be planned. So he went in thinking, "well, if she rejects me, I'll really make her pay"...wtf?

Sad rarely leads to murder.

I would say it is better that it has a name. If it isn't recognised individually with a name, it's hard to summon people around the topic, refer to it, research it and try to put an end to it.

Look at it this way: As a white girl, I would not go into a forum about racism saying "BUT NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE LIKE THAT." Um, they know that. But racism is still a huge pervasive problem and POC have every right to fear and distrust white people. I don't take that personally, as a white person, because I know it…

Yup. Unfortunately, this shit is not really that much of an anomaly.

I am ... hesitant to reply here, given your misread of my comment, but I will try.

I just read the comments under that video and...yup. There are no words to describe what I felt when I read them, so here's a gif instead:

so how would you communicate, in an off-the-cuff written medium, if "some men" is not sufficient (reading over these comments, VERY few people say "all" men. many say "men" which is non-specific, and definitely not all-encompassing). what? "certain, specifically identified hetereosexual cisgendered males"? why should…

that's my point "defend myself" why - it's not about any one individual man, other than this specific stabber. to jump in and say "not it" is to derail the conversation for selfish reasons. until they spoke up, i never thought it applied to them. "men react badly to rejection" "well i don't" ok. conversation over.…
