Yes, of course you are right, there are court-ordered things like anger management courses that are available. The problem is that a lot of these harassers/stalkers are pretty good at not breaking the law when they do their bullshit, or at least covering their tracks. Without a crime to attach it to, the court can’t…

No, and honestly I don’t know how that could be mandated.  You can’t force someone to go to therapy, and even if you could, you can’t force them to take it seriously or participate in a meaningful way.  It’s terrible, but I don’t think that we have a solution other than helping women get away and stay safe when they…

I watched the Super Bowl in a crowded bar once. Except it was a gay bar. And it was the Super Bowl in which Madonna performed the halftime show.  No one paid attention to the football at all but when Madonna came on, everyone got deadly quiet and watched like it was church.  90% of attendees left after the halftime…

Is it bad that I was more concerned about the brush than the dildo?

In his defense, I don’t think that it would be necessarily be “premeditated murder.”

I notice that Mr. Markle only said he wants to testify, it doesn’t appear that he has been called as a witness at all. If I were the lawyers for the Daily Mail, I would not want this asshole to testify. He can’t add anything to their case, he’ll just make it abundantly clear that the Mail should have known that the let…

So this jackass is arguing that not only is trial by combat via sword technically legal, and he wants it, yet he doesn’t even own a sword, therefore we must assume he doesn’t know how to properly use one. Why in the fuck wouldn’t you suggest trial by combat by means you were confident you would win?  What if the…

I love living with mine, for sure.  It adds to our intimacy in general.

I took my seven year old daughter to see it this weekend and was so freaking pleased I did. The combination of watching her truly enjoy the enjoyable stuff plus the weirdness of the whole thing was excellent. I highly recommend seeing bad movies with children.

It may not seem fair to you that plaintiff’s attorneys get paid a percentage of the settlement, but how else do you propose they get paid?

It IS domestic violence. He murdered his wife. There is no lumping-in required.

Today I can say that yes, I did get what I wanted for Christmas.  Which is that I wanted it to be over, and now it is.  Hooray for me!

I came here to say one thing and one thing only. For a couple days, or however long this article has been up, I have been seeing the animation out of the corner of my eye and my brain filled in “feet” for where the appendages are coming out of the blanket. This clearly resulted in a very off-putting and alien sex…

My first thought at the Kris Jenner Botox gift is... that’s kind of cheap, isn’t it? I mean, Botox is pricey for ME, but for them, it’s just another expense they normally budget for (to the extent they budget at all). That’s like the Kardashian equivalent of giving someone normal socks.

We thought that about McCain himself and look where that got us.

I think there’s a good possibility that his way of dressing is a dog whistle to the poors. Dressing too nicely, in a way that is too put together, would remind everyone that he came from privilege and isn’t the self-made man he likes to pretend to be. Also, the Average Joe doesn’t think the President of the Goddamn…

I’m really thankful for this posting because I (a white lady) have absolutely heard this idea before and never realized how toxic it is. I’ve believed that part of the issue with the achievement gap is that there’s no incentive to try when you’ve never seen it succeed. It is so insidious because it really feels like…

I remember being told by the very nice LC when I was in the hospital with my second that I would probably need to supplement breastmilk for my son because I wasn’t making enough. Which was true, but her solution was to supplement WITH breastmilk, so I’d be pumping any time I wasn’t nursing. That little baby nursed…

Don’t forget, that teenage girlfriend was also definitely experiencing a lot of untreated mental illness at the time.

Yes, of course, I should have used different language.
