When EPL dropped I was in a relationship with a girl who loved it. It was taking the country by storm and I didn’t pay much mind to it. Relationship ended for a variety of reasons. Then one day I see the book in the cheap section and decide I’ll spin through it. Wowy did it illuminate just how immature my ex was to be…

Erm...most people do go into marriage, even their second or third, thinking its for life. You don’t usually get married with a shared expectation of divorce.

I don't think you need to be a dood to find Elizabeth Gilbert insufferable in a million ways.

Really? This is an argument you want to be making? I guess you got likes so it’s good?

Bravo. Jezebel doesn't pedal complete clickbait garbage but they know how to rile their audience.

He's a professional basketball player and she plays a sport no one pays attention to until the Olympics. Feminism will not change that (if my tone is read as caustic I'll be clear I am a feminist but disagree with this articles framing).

You said it yourself...it's a Murdoch paper. Glad outrage forced a cleanup but what does one expect from those assholes?

Because, despite her “profile”, the reason it is news to a wider audience than her already existing fans is that her husband is “famous” to a larger audience. This is a sad story and I understand that Jezebel is really attempting to fight these minor injustices and “micro-aggressions”, but at least bow to logic in…

Unfortunately the rules of proper engagement have long since been ruined. Lots of people also don’t want direct confirmation but prefer your situation because it allows them to save face.

I think you meant “funny”.

You got voted up for this? This kid is going because he's a genius not to have the traditional experience. He's not like the rest of us and what a waste it would be to fit him into that. You don't teach kids like him.

I agree. I simply mean that the idea that these values can be carried through a school system is, and I say this as a liberal, a misguided liberal fantasy. We need to educate the adult public first. PSAs would probably be the best way honestly as there are no great legal cases likely to clarify the issues at hand.

I strongly disagree with your well intentioned point about putting these lessons in the classroom and not in the home. Who we are starts in the home and the things that allow men to do this start there too. Whether it is the absence of a conversation or the manner in which someone is raised.

There's nothing ivory tower about the corrosive effects of hyperbolic language distracting people and making them unnecessarily defensive and therefore not receptive to our perspectives. You're part of the problem.

I’m not taking a stand in the case but you do realize how this language is quite similar to what someone would use to dismiss a woman?

Damn you mudblood!

I think your last idea is on point. The reality is that nothing is ever “dead” until twenty years later when some “cool” people decide to resurrect something and then we see if it eventually trickles down. If concentrate truly dies and becomes a novelty product I wouldn’t be surprised.

How many Bernie-Bros will cringe at themselves?

No one knows what goes on inside a marriage and it's gotta be tough when you're both power hungry driven people. Marriage is love but it's also a partnership. Sometimes you sacrifice one for the other but clearly his escapades are effecting her public life too her detriment.

I realize even a black person can be racist to another black person, but the officer disrespecting him was an elderly black woman.
