The Orange-churian Candidate.

The Manhattan-ian Candidate.

Let’s start a DT birther conspiracy but instead of a Kenyan Muslim he’s KGB. But like really dumb KGB so they kicked him out and made him run for US president. Seems just a reasonable.

Honestly, Donald Trump as a long culled Russian plant explains everything there is about Donald Trump, from the 80s golden decor of his apartment to his presidential candidacy. All of it. Everything.

RIGHT? Short of actual child pr0n on one of his devices, I think this looks pretty bad for him, and not something he can spin into typical Trump bullshit.

*crosses fingers*

Ooh I hate that. The only love you don’t know until you become a parent is, specifically, the love of a parent for a child. I have a child, and now I know what that feels like, but there is a wide range of emotional experiences that I know nothing about, and that others have experienced.

Not just the moms! In my old neighbourhood, the guy across the street was a stay-at-home dad who, like me, was a freelancer in a creative field. At a neighbourhood party we got to chatting, found we had a lot in common, and he ACTUALLY SAID TO ME “it’s a shame you don’t have kids-” [he had one preschooler] “-because…

I never thought of it that way, thank you.

That IS bravery. What you described, putting yourself through all the chilly bullshit you invariably get when you socialize with people who invariably expect you to be on Team Reproduction #1? That takes bravery. People change their lives by having children they utterly don’t WANT just to avoid that kind of social…

People ask me all the time why I don’t have kids. I always answer the same way, “I didn’t want any.”

This is what I came here to say. I’m not trying to be brave, I’m just trying to live my life.

I wondered that myself. Probably a combination of jealousy, resentment and judgment. Still kind of sucks to be excluded from the women’s table/group/conversation.

I seriously do not feel brave . I want  people to respect my choice without there being a reason for it. like fuck off already.

Curse our new tolerant culture! I thought I could get away with being unmarried and child free as a gay man, but everyone is too open minded now.

Real bravery is stealing someone else’s children.

So the guy perpetrates the violence and then blames the woman for not preventing it? (Checks all of human history.) YUP! CHECKS OUT!

That’s the thing about every Clinton “revelation”: I find out something that makes me uncomfortable or leave a bad taste in my mouth, and then I remember that the other side is doing shit a thousand times worse and it’s hard to give a shit about Clinton anymore.
