Oh, I’m with you on that one.

Yes! Anyone who perpetrated violence against a partner/family member should not be allowed to legally purchase a gun.

As we all have seen these past weeks (months, years, decades, centuries) domestic abusers are a real problem.

Men were generally worse husbands and were more likely to abuse their wives when divorce was difficult to get.

Women initiate somewhere between 60% and 80% of divorces, so for a solid majority, it’s worth being poorer to be rid of the schmucks. Maybe just make divorce decrees more economically equitable?

This. When I was sexually harassed at work and reported it, my office manager said “well, he couldn’t have meant anything by it. He’s a married man!” Because married men never do anything wrong. Luckily, my boss was a no nonsense woman who had worked in government since the 70s and seen it all, and immediately rolled

I saw a segment about this on Auntie Rachel. If you are of a certain age, you know how this works — kids only got called out of class and to the principal’s office if there was an emergency, like, someone was in the hospital, or your grandmother had died.

True. I’m nearly 40; I have had my share of bad experiences with men, but also have loved and lived and worked with many great men. They’re human. It took me a long time to understand the difference between the gender as a whole and the individual men who’d hurt me and the individual men who had my back.

Yes! All of this! It messes us up to the extent that you don’t know how to feel or behave when they fuck with past events. And yet they’re able to recall them when it is convenient to do so - when they want to switch the narrative yet again.

So many men can look you straight in the eye and say they didnt do/say/act something they blatantly did. Women probably can do the same but men really seem to lie with a level of commitment where I think they’ve actually completely compartmentalised what they did. Like they actually don’t remember what they did until

It’s weird - I’ve been a pretty thoughtful and bold feminist for some time now, and yet there are still pieces of my past that elude me. When I was sixteen, I was at a live-in Catholic informal liberal arts program where we started out with 20 students and ended up with 13 by the end of the year (so small and

“Forcing Chinese children to work in my shoe factories doesn’t count,” she added, unfurling her leathery wings and taking off into the lurid sunset with a screech.

Yet she says nothing about her own daddy’s 12 accusers. And nothing about the young pageant entrants presumably traumatized after he walked in on them while they were changing.

I wish there was a special place in real fucking life for child molesters, but I guess we’ll have to settle for vague promises of the afterlife.

If they plug Sessions back in his old senate seat, Trump gets to pick a new AG, who won’t be held to the Mueller recusal. Not a good idea.

Yep! It’s very first-season-House of Cards, right down to the shit human beings involved.

“There’s a special place in hell for people who prey on children,” Ivanka Trump said on Wednesday. “ “I’ve yet to see a valid explanation [from Moore] and I have no reason to doubt the victims’ accounts.” She did not, however, urge Moore to exit the race.

Meanwhile, one Trenton Garmin, a lawyer working for the Moores was just on with Ali Velshi & Stephanie Ruhle threatening to sue the Washington Post and other media outlets publushing the Moore exposes - on behalf of Mrs. Moore, because “as she’s not a public person” this is slanderous to HER.
