Oh holy hell.....

I can't fucking deal with any of this.

"I felt like telling her that she was doing a great job raising someone's abusive spouse, bully or abusive parent."

I have a four year old niece, and like all kids, she went through a hitting phase not long ago. We were out to dinner during the height of her hitting phase, I was seated next to her, and she kept hitting me but I kept doing the thing you're supposed to do, gently restraining kiddo's hand and telling her not to hit,…

All kids go through a hitting/kicking phase, or biting (ugh). That doesn't mean they will be abusive adults, but the behavior should be corrected. The mom was probably trying to avoid "rewarding" the behavior with a reaction, which does work for some things like tantrums or whining. The best way to deal with hitting…

Parents who hit/spank their kids magically seem to have kids who think it's ok to hit people. Imagine that. I don't mean to sound too snarky, but I see about one of those "I was spanked as a child and I turned out JUST FINE" posts on Facebook and they really piss me off. It is never ok to hit a child, and every single…

Reward the good behavior, ignore the bad. Sounds crazy, but it works.

This is the exact gif that comes to mind every time I think of le gaga now. I used to defend her up and down - "she's weird on purpose! the meat dress was a statement! she's really liberal! she used to be bulimic!" (btw let's not even talk about the time she had someone throw up on her in concert, because ART) Then…

i used to stan for gaga so hard, but ever since born this way i just have no desire to ever hear her name again. and now with this terrible shit? go back to paper gangsta, you peaked then.

I'm a parent. This is nuts and a huge red flag for totally crap-tastic parenting.

Also it would be a good lesson to the children to return something to it's rightful owner if it was wrongfully taken from him/her/them

I'm morbidly curious as to what would happen if somebody wearing one of those things just happened to sneeze really hard.

I would honestly rather see their naked junk at the beach than see a man wearing this swimming "suit"

You mean in the sense that someone who has been damaged and violated once lives with an insecurity and fear that marks her as vulnerable to predators, and thus she's likely to be violated again by men who are looking for easy victims?

My god. Thank you for sharing your story. And thank you for being honest about the pressure to have a so-called thick skin when it comes to degrading, sexist, and sometimes violent behavior. We've been taught for so long to just take it. All of it.

Yanno, females struggle with mental illness as well and yet they somehow refrain from shooting several people to death during a gun rampage, stranger raping folks, kidnapping and locking males in a room for 10 years, beating down random males on the street, smiling, etc.

You know the similarities are going to bring the trolls to the yard.

Ellaria's scream at the end KILLED me. Oh, that was a hard scene to watch.

What a great reaction shot of The Hound! You can just hear him thinking, "Oh, shit... I dragged this girl all the way here, and NOW WHAT???" I loved her free-but slightly-unhinged peals of laughter.
