Sounds like we have the same body-type. I hate those elastic waist things. I have a really small waist (for a size 22) and if it fits in the booty I have about 6-10 inches of extra room at the waist.

I would need to see pictures, you know? So many of these things could have been how normal people use a house but the Land Lady is one of those insane people who thinks folks who don't sweep, mop, and vacuum every day are filthy animals. I'm not saying she is, I'm saying it's possible. I mean, 'broken' could mean a…

I need to shop where you're shopping, I can never ever find anything that fits me in the waist if it fits in the booty. I feel like everything is always shaped like a mumu. But this is the real problem with plus size fashion, it can't be sized the same way because of the way the shape of the body changes. I think, at…

Yeah, I'd have packed his bag and told him he could come back when he was willing to do his fair share. It's pretty much rotted the marriage from the inside, now she just refers to him as 'The Paycheck' and they live parallel lives.

Heh, well at least I _know_ I'm slovenly. My husband had to teach me how to clean, I was raised by hippies. Finding my bliss was much more important than learning how to vacuum. I'd never even hear of 'dusting' until I was 23.

Oh man, I have a friend who also has a husband who straight up refuses to do his fair share. It makes my blood boil. They both work full-time, same hours. However, he will eat with the family but announced a few years ago that the hours from 6-8 were 'my time for me' so he won't help her with any of the evening chores…

I just frightened my cat by cackling very loudly.

That is a perfectly perfect thing of perfection.

Mr. Downing, is that you? :) My husband would say the exact same thing. I am an atrocious housekeeper.

That gif is perfection, you sexist man-hater! Keep propping up the patriarchy with your sound logic and nuanced understanding of our society. :)

It's been cracking me up, too. I followed the thread yesterday and the fella just kept chasing his tale all over the place. I don't think I've ever seen quite that much addled logic crossed with such willful ignorance so proudly displayed. It has been epic.

And there it is. You just aren't smart enough to comprehend the world at large.

Well, I guess my step dad was an outlier.

I can't speak for all women, but for me it's that when portraying human sexuality both perspectives are present. If the male character is a fully realized, nuanced person then I want the female character to be a whole person with agency too. Women enjoy erotic entertainment as much as men do, we just want to see…

It can be very demoralizing. Though, I've watched my husband choose a different path. It's taken an enormous amount of will and love, but he broke the chain.

Well, you're here, so I think the MRA loonies are well represented.

Thank you for taking the time to try and unpack this for him. I'm sorry it just kept going further down the "I refuse to acknowledge my privilege" road.

I agree. I thought it represented the child's view so perfectly. That really is how it feels to stand up to your father and abusers do go into a fog where their rage takes over and reason is gone.

Good for her for sticking to her guns. I still say, oooookie.

I totally agree with you. However, as someone in a crazy love at fist sight grand love affair that became a solid marriage, that is how my husband would describe me. I don't really know who this is, but when you meet 'The One' ... It just sounds right. So I'm likely wrong, but if they experienced what I and my husband…
