This is a very hard read for me. Full disclosure, I’m an abuse survivor so I may have my own issues all over this, but... It really sounds like they’re painting parents as the victims. The parents are adults.

Blair Waldorf, the best character 

This struck me as well. She’s basically using religious tourism/voyeurism (which is offensive as it is: if you want to sample other religions, that’s fine, I suppose, but don’t act like your glancing interaction with others’ deeply-held rituals has given you some sort of insight) as a shield for her purported…

Seriously, I’m all for exposing yourself to different religions and practices but this feels like she’s just trying to collect them and get applause for it. “I have chanted and meditated in some of the most magnificent temples on earth.” Cool story, maybe meditate on why you need to point out that you are the best at…

Katie Holmes said something similar when she started dating Tom Cruise. I’m paraphrasing but it was something like, “I can practice Catholicism and Scientology at the same time. Both religions are welcoming!”

THIS ALL DAY LONG.

Somehow, Jada Pinkett-Smith’s statement is actually more insufferable. She’s trying on religions to seem worldly and open/accepting.

So an octopus can unscrew a jar from the inside. Big deal.

My mother has been a constant ‘Selectee’ since as long as I can remember. She is about as radical and scary as a cheese cake. So unless you know a lot of pension aged, service driven, God fearing, former school teachers named Mohammed stuff that racist shit back up your ass and choke on it. It ain’t funny ‘Bill’.

I am so glad he’s not going to let this go.

Should be a law that if a cop’s body camera is off and something like this happens then everyone must assume that anything the cop says is a lie.

Excuse you, I think you’ve forgotten the giant clock is also missing.

How dare you attack a Bowling Green Survivor! Have you no morals, sir?

For Ivanka, the documentary made Charlottesville hit home in a way that other White House controversies had not. “Seeing those images and hearing [Ivanka’s] name invoked later on obviously made it very personal,”

Love how you assume she was “smuggled” into the US. People who entered the country legally with a visa now outnumber border crossings.

Offensensitivity. I once jokingly told my college roommate that I was “offended at her offense.” It did not go well.

Who the hell judges over a c-section? Mommy wars in general seem to be so stupid.

I have not had a c section but did witness a close friend recover from one. Couple that with people being real jerks about her having a c section, I’m gonna venture that she was making a joke about something that was said to her and it really hurt her feelings.

Did it ever occur to you that some of these ‘mums’, as you so flippantly put it, have very important reasons for having those torches? Just because you don’t need a torch, how dare you judge these brave mothers for their choices.

The bullying element has grown SO much now that kids have technology at their fingertips 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Used to you could go home and be safe from hate, but not anymore. Bullying (combined with mental health issues) is what landed my daughter in a psychiatric hospital last month with suicidal thoughts.…
