I dunno, I *get* the outrage. This whole “meternity” thing shows that most people think maternity leave is a perk or a vacation and not a necessary time to heal after EXPELLING A HUMAN BEING FROM YOUR BODY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! I mean, the fact that maternity leave still isn’t mandatorily(ok i made that word up) paid…

Ok yes, noted, you’re team “it’s ok to fuck someone over because whatever, they aren’t me and getting what I want is more important.” Please join the group to the left - we’re requesting you all start wearing signs so the rest of us humans who actually possess empathy can avoid you more easily going forward. Thanks!

You know, I had a long sarcastic response all typed out, but then decided - oh, fuck it. If you genuinely believe it’s 100% fine to intentionally do things you know will hurt other people just because hey, fuck those people, they aren’t you and what you want is more important than their stupid families and feelings…

Oh for gods sake. Obviously I don’t mean marriage = literal ownership of another human being. But in 95% of marriages (a common thing people are typically aware of) it’s understood to be a monogamous committed relationship between two people. If it’s not your relationship, don’t insert yourself into it. It’s common…

It’s really not complicated. Don’t do things that you know are morally wrong, and your life - as well as that of everyone who comes into contact with you - is a lot simpler. Also, your conscience will be clearer, if you have one. You, at least, will not be hurting anyone deliberately, and that’s a bit less cruelty and…

That is completely untrue. He has received a ton of criticism.

Thank you for saying this. Look, I think Jay-Z should get shit too, obviously. And would I slut-shame this woman or send her death threats? Never. But to act like she has nothing to apologize for and that she did absolutely nothing wrong is shitty. I have numerous friends that have turned guys down because they knew…

The majority of the album drags jay-z (if he is a cheater) and Twitter went after him too whether you saw it or not. Rachel is not a victim and she put voluntarily herself in this mess.

Are you honestly suggesting that she was unaware that JayZ was married?

For serious! I just don’t understand how knowingly participating in something that you know will hurt someone else isn’t considered morally repugnant. Using the “ I didn’t make a commitment” line like a get out of jail free card technicality is really gross.

God, I know. Poor thing. What kind of world is it where you can’t even fuck a famous married dude and tell people about it without people judging you?

Basic. Human. Empathy. It’s not a complex concept. No, a marriage isn’t ownership, but I assume most people are familiar with the idea of it and know inserting themselves into one is a fucked-up thing to do. I’m seriously agog you’re still defending this.

Thank you. And thank you! I feel like I’m explaining basic human empathy like its some complex decadent concept.

Seriously. When did personal accountability stop being a thing?!

no one said anything about illegal? lol

a-greed! people are basically saying not knowing someone personally means you doing shit that you know will hurt them doesn’t count? the whole logic makes no sense.

She owed herself and her children not to insinuate that she’s the other woman on Instagram. If you want to think sleeping with a knowingly married person is fine, good for you, but bragging about it will never be OK for a man or a woman.

I’m sorry you had to deal with that. I 100% agree with you. Helping someone cheat is a shitty thing to do and definitely makes you a garbage person. I don’t understand where this bullshit started because being a human person makes you accountable to other humans and this not my relationship not my problem shit is…

1) Yes, I’ve been cheated on. And the other woman, instead of being contrite, kept popping up in my life and confronting me. Because, all too frequently, it’s about getting self-esteem by “proving” you’re hotter/better than the wife/girlfriend. Which is why this pat little logic of only blaming the partnered person…

Honestly, I hate that “oh it’s only the married person’s problem” moral-vacuum bullshit. Oh, my friend killed a guy, but I don’t know their life! I’m pretty sure the ring my boyfriend gave me was stolen, but that’s not my problem! My mom embezzled a bunch of money, let’s go shopping!
