I have a good friend who was adopted in slightly similar circumstances...to replace a lost child, to fit into a mold of what his parents wanted him to be, implicitly taught to be ashamed of where he came from...and he believes adoption should be outlawed. The minute he got his own autonomy he sabotaged all the…

"Letting"?? No. It was not that woman's prerogative to swoop in, a desperate wannabe mom, and save this child from a life she knew little to nothing about other than what she'd seen a few times. She helped break up a family - did you miss the part about how the mother constantly visited and was very much a part of the…

Also in Mexico and it is the saddest thing I have ever seen.

There's a long history of orphanages taking children whose parents cannot afford to care for them (I'm aware of this happening in Korea but am sure it happens elsewhere too). Unfortunately, this does mean that kids with parents who love them get adopted and shipped halfway across the world. Terrible.

Although I certainly wouldn't consider myself a success story and apologize if this comes off as tooting my horn, it's personally fascinating to see that I grew up in a county ranked #2904 (lower middle class) and now reside in #10 by independent means in the top 10% income bracket. I attribute this to: (1) parents…

They left out the amount of people on welfare but used disability as an indicator? It should have been public assistance. Though I guess welfare tends to equal less education. Hell many bachelors degrees will still lead you to the soup kitchen. I also don't see how a bachelors degree means a better life, there are…

Their man-hormones make it difficult for them to cope with the rigors of the real world.

And they say women "can't take a joke". Clearly these insecure boys harassing her can't take a mild jape either.

I just realized that's a gratuitous quote-tweet. Ironically so the guy can take credit for a woman's joke. Here's the original:

My mom was the only woman at her level at her construction equipment seller, and she got the guys to stop putting up raunchy pictures of women (and always drawing her attention to them to try and mess with her) by calmly starting to put up raunchy pictures of men. It made them uncomfortable, what a shock! The boss…

As a woman who used to work in manufacturing and was often the *only* woman on the production floor, trust me, we care, and we call out the worst of it, but jesus fucking christ is it exhausting. Also, its not our job to teach people not to be assholes.

Did this motherfucker just 'M'lady" her for real?

But anger in men isn't an emotion. It's a justification and always righteous.

My guess is that men treated women like shit for millennia, women finally got sick of it and started fighting back, men's feewings got hurt and they lashed out, which made women fight back harder, which pissed men off more...etc etc.

Ok seriously, WHAT HAPPENED TO THESE MEN TO MAKE THEM LIKE THIS I AM LEGITIMATELY ASKING

I want it to be seductive pictures of Rihanna from the "Pour it up" video.

Its not a good looking shirt and its not very appropriate for the workplace. But of course the perfect response to a mild joke is aggression. Ya know, I could have sworn that women were supposed to be the emotional gender, but apparently that's not true on the internet.

"Kill yourself" is an unreasonable, inexcusable, asshole thing to say, but it is not a "death threat."
