Sounds reasonable, although if the male scientist dude really has sex with his hideous inhuman child/creation, then he doesn't sounds terribly sensible.

I don't crap on her mostly because everything about her behavior and speech screams, "permanent brain damage stemming from years of alcohol and drug abuse."

Fair, enough, but this might be a case of what we're each reading into this letter. I read "I’ve discussed this with my husband endlessly and have mentioned open marriage, but nothing ever comes of it" and "not even therapy has helped," as "I've tried every avenue, and he's unwilling to budge toward compromise." If in…

That's NOT what I was saying, and you know it. I was making a very clear point about compromise. Trying to connect my point with fucking martial rape is not only a straw man, but a pretty dick move. No one has the right to "demand" anything from anyone. The husband has no right to "demand" that she be unfulfilled and…

YOU don't get to decide that either, though. Sorry. YOU don't get to decide for someone else what compromises they have to make, EITHER. You don't get to say "you should be sexually frustrated with for the rest of your life, because your husband doesn't want you to have sex." I'm not sure why you think you, or anyone…

Some of marriage is sucking up and doing stuff you don't get anything out of to keep your partner content and happy. That's the reality. Not being willing to fulfill one of their basic needs, and one that is implicitly part of married life, but not being willing to have them fulfill that need elsewhere is kind of…

You do know that Brazilian-ed co-eds get STDs and yeast infections, too, right? Probably at at a higher rate than elder women. I doubt any proctologist ever said "gosh, I really enjoyed probing that man's anus, because he was young and fit!" (well, maybe a gay proctologist with a fecal fetish.) The human body is…

I agree, but "cutting your spouse off from sex because you just don't feel like it any more" is not a reasonable response either.

If your marriage involves one party emotionally blackmailing the other party into a life of perpetual sexual frustration, is it worth saving then?

That was my second choice - he's not overly fond of Anna, but it seems like it might be a natural progression for the character.

"racial stereotypes of white people don't impact Chinese citizens negatively." I would argue that they DO negatively impact Chinese citizens, in the sense that China is a trading partner and world neighbor, and how the Chinese perceive us could negatively impact relations between us. I think we can agree that…

He brought an explicit invitation to fuck from his nephew on himself? I'm going to be incredibly wary of smiling at anyone from now on.

Eh, I'm not sure being turned off my your partner's kink really qualifies you as "the world's worst sex partner." I'm sure there's plenty of kinks out there that you couldn't stomach doing, even if it really turned your partner on.

Yeah, that surprised me as well. Because I'm pretty sure the sane, appropriate reaction to your Uncle smiling at you across a crowded family dinner table is not "oh, my Uncle obviously wants the cock!" Not sure what the fuck Dan was drinking when he wrote this.

But Asian representation is so bad in popular media, that this kind of stereotyping is just feeding into people's (well, non-Asian's) bullshit notions about Asian culture. If there were better representation of actual Asian people and their lives, maybe it wouldn't be such a big problem.

"Asian Culture is not a costume." This seems to be kind of the crux of the problem - mainly that in a much different cultural environment, this kind of homage might be harmless, but in an environment where Asian culture is treated as a costume gimmick and grossly stereotyped, this kind of thing is really not o.k.,…

I think it would be more interesting to have one of the other characters find a convenient situation for getting revenge on the rapist and taking it. It would interesting to see Mrs. Hughes shove him off a roof.

Dame Nellie Melba's heritage is Scottish, not Maori (who are from New Zealand, not Australia.) Dame Kiri Te Kanawa does have mixed European and Maori heritage, but that has nothing to do with the character she's playing.

"If they make Anna preggos with Rapey McRaperson's baby, I'm just plain done." I will hunt Fellowes down and piss on his expensive suit if that happens.

No, it was definitely implied that she either drugged him or kept plying him with alcohol for some shady purpose, whether it's rape or blackmail of some kind.
