I work for an agency assisting victims of domestic and sexual violence, and I maintain our FB, A couple of weeks ago, I posted on Toomey's FB wall as the work account asking that he support VAWA (so um, yeah, I'm pretty sure that's why he voted for it, so yeah....) and some MRA dude replied on my post "Shouldn't…

But he still gets the sideeye.

Oh snap, you're right!! I looked at the role call on senate.gov....for the 2012 vote. OK, Toomey, I still can'tstandya, but you get a pass on this one.

Sigh one of them is from my state, Patrick Toomey BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Look at everyone with a "glass-half-full" perspective. Half-full of a propensity for violence. :-p

My point wasn't really statistical, although seriously, with relationship violence, odds are, you DO know someone who's an abuser whether you know it or not. My point was more esoteric. No one ever would have suspected my ex-husband. Not in a million years. People used to tell me how lucky I was. And all the…

I generally tip 20% because that's easier for me, but I was just wondering, I always thought "standard" was 15%. When did it go to 18?

True fax.

Something tells me someone has unresolved middles school issues.

I haven't had sex using a condom in so long that revealing the number of years will out me as an old (more than 15), and even with all the passing of time, I can still remember the awful condom sex well enough to unequivocally say "BullSHIT."

me too. And I felt like an ass, sitting there and not saying anything. Because it was the Exec Director and the Board President, and how do I chide them without losing standing at work, you know? Which is shitty of me. :-/

You guys, I work for a domestic violence/sexual assault non-profit. We're so aware and forward-thinking and "politically correct," if you will, in so many ways, BUT.....

The mature adult in me thinks this is a fantastic story. The 12-year-old in me snickered at the fact that the school is currently named "HoneySpot."

I work for an agency that assists victims of DV, and I just wanted to thank you for using "strangle" vs. "choke" to describe what he did. I know to some people it seems nitpicky, but we really are trying to get people to understand the gravity of these events. So thank you. :-)

You have no idea how accurately that line of thinking describes him!

I'm definitely trying cinnamon sugar the next time we have crescent flatbreads.

The fact that there are directions (and pictures!) on the side of the can escapes them every time!

Yep, missed 'em. And this is a guy who can cook on a gourmet level, but things we cretins eat such as canned crescent rolls flummox him. Love. It. ;-)
