If someone says anything that is even a little bit related to motherhood, you can expect indignant “being a mom makes me a superhero” takes from the internet.

I think this is sensible advice. Key points being that she needs physical, logistical and financial support now with baby and that she is super hormonal so decisions are influenced.

I thought it was brilliant advice. For folks criticizing...perhaps you’re caught up on your idealistic high horse and don’t understand real life? Saying “you should leave!” is the obvious, and easy answer, which would have been chosen by the poster in ideal circumstances. Get a grip!

The first three months with a baby are physically and emotionally one of the hardest times and you need a human body to bring you sandwiches and take the baby and put it in the crib when you fall asleep, buy toilet paper, figure out if you took your meds that day, etc. I didn’t read it as encouraging her to stay with…

Actually, I thought it was good advice. I went through the same situation and I was a fucking mess. Ol’ boy could have helped me out quite a bit with the baby until I regained my sanity. Then I would have kicked his ass to the curb.

I found out my ex was cheating when I was 8 months pregnant. I locked down emotionally and decided I could stick it out for two years, instead of taking my toddler and soon-to-be-newborn and trying to manage on my own. I was a SAHM so I frankly needed that financial security.

I’m pretty sure the requirement for Luc Besson to cast ‘winsome young things’ in his movies is less about acting and more about lying back and closing their eyes....

People called Bromanes, they go, the house?

The Manson murders have reached iconic, mythic status. That’s pretty much it.

I don’t excuse premeditated murder but when you get past 30 years in prison and the prisoner has rehabilitated I’m unclear on the reason to hold them behind bars.

Hahahaha!
You sound like an old angry straight dude bitching about cis/trans.

I love all the people who are like my ____ is totally real because mine was created before yours, and wahh I don’t like change, wahhh!

Like seriously, there’s some clear psychological issues here if you have such a visceral reaction to other…

I’ve used “demisexual” or “gray-A” to describe myself, mostly because as I’ve gotten older, it seems that my attraction really does seem to work a little differently than my friends’ does. I don’t think it’s oppressed or belongs in the DSM or needs a flag or whatever, but it’s nice to be able to have a term that sums…

The majority of the population totally experiences sexual attraction based on physical characteristics. Demisexuals are wired in such a way that a person’s physical appearance doesn’t register at all, so they have to get to know a person before those thoughts spring up. Whereas most people use physical/sexual…

It’s hard, though, because your stay at home wedding can be a destination wedding for others. We got married right in our home city, but my sister and mother, for example, had to fly cross country, as did his family.

It’s from Witches of Eastwick and honestly I’ve never read it (love the movie) so I can’t speak to the context. But it illustrates your point regardless.

I’m, personally, tired of men telling female stories because women are often denied the opportunity to do it due to gatekeeping. Why should men be the ones to control the narrative in everything? Especially since men tend to push a rather misogynistic narrative in their works.

Some men write women very well. Very few men in Hollywood do.

I actually do believe him. That said however, just because you have a multiracial kid doesn’t mean your “woke.” I once had a classmate who was 3/4ths black and 1/4th white and her racist white grandpa, who married a black woman, wrote her out of his will and refused to help her out or see her until she agreed to…

I had a professor whose sons are Thor and John. My son, the God of Thunder, and my younger son, the most common name in the English speaking world.

Okay, I actually am in a polyamorous relationship, and have been since about 2001, and I can tell MVP that there’s actually a term for the bullshit her boyfriend is pulling. It’s called “Relationship Broken? Add More People!”, and it refers specifically to the kind of person who thinks that polyamory is a solution to…
