One of many things that needs to change for this to stop happening is the way we socialize boys and men to handle their emotions. Not every negative emotion needs to turn into anger, crying is healthy, and sadness, grief and disappointment deserve gentleness not ridicule.

Some men feel entitled to the woman they date. Subconsciously they feel they should be the one w/ the power to break it off, not her. Women rarely feel the same. They may feel pissed or sad or depressed but rarely entitled. And the thing is... how does he feel now? Better?? I doubt it.

I don’t think it really matters. He’s male, and she’s not. To a truly terrifying number of people, that means his life is — by definition — worth much more than hers ever could be.

I became clinically depressed at 17 after breaking up with my boyfriend. It was terrible. Never once did I think about hurting or murdering him, or anyone else. Because you don’t kill people just because you are angry or sad. Who gives a flying fuck if a teenager is sad about their breakup? Self-centered, narcissistic…

On that topic, I know that we are reading about this on Jezebel — but does the mainstream news report on the ever-increasing rash of these women murdered by intimates or rejected paramours? If this had taken place in Pakistan, and someone threw acid in her face, it would be front page news, here, yes? But another…

I hope someone is keeping track of women murdered by present or former partners the way the Post is tracking deaths by shooting. Would be illuminating to see it all in one place.

Hopefully he wasn’t a football player or swimmer. I’d hate for his future to be ruined.

I swear to god, there should be penalties for people whose guns are used by family members to commit crimes, and no one under 18 should be allowed to handle one.

Flores’ family assisted the Mesa County police department in his apprehension when they revealed that the young man’s car was parked outside his deceased grandfather’s house.

Shame it’s...Topeka.

So weird, mine were just like “oh gross! I’m trying to eat. Someone get that off my screen!” but then again, I’m not a mother. Not that I hate babies or anything, they’re little tiny human sized packages of cuteness and strange emotions.

Asshole cop gets what he deserves for once. Good.

Sorry, but the idea that Hillary is better on foreign policy is among the most pernicious, demonstrable falsehoods of contemporary Democratic politics.

I was too young and too naïve to note Anthony’s purple, lurid prose, his less-than-complimentary portrayals of women, or his incredibly skeezy habit of sexualizing underage characters, and for that I’m extremely grateful.

That’s just it though. They aren’t banned in public places. Since, they’re legal, there isn’t a single thing “wrong” with them doing it. This isn’t about opinions, they have an actual legal right. And they have absolutely zero obligation to fulfill your request to put them out, regardless of how politely you asked.…

I think that’s a big reason vapers are so stubborn about being told where to vape, or being vilified to vaping in a mall. It’s not smoke, and it doesn’t have the associated second-hand dangers as smoke, yet everyone is completely ignorant to this fact and want to vilify someone as though they just lit up a cigar.

I’ll just spray a shit ton of legal cologne around you then.

I respect your opinion. In all honesty, if people ask politely, it’s never a problem. It’s the people who think that they are better than me, or the people who look down on me that I have a problem with. “Hey, could you please stop doing that?” is totally fine. “Stop doing that, it’s fucking disgusting” is where I’m…

I generally buy from Prime Vaping, Vaperite, and Backwoods Brew (although there’s only one flavor at BB I buy anymore, since I like higher VG content than most of his sit at).
