Honestly, I cannot understand the batshit mental acrobatics and internalized misogyny that would enable any woman to defend Trump’s comments.

If you don’t want your daughter to hear the word “pussy” maybe don’t let her watch the segment where you’re defending Donald Trump bragging about grabbing women by the pussy. That’s like going on Twitter on a Sunday night and complaining about Game of Thrones spoilers.

Typical left-wing pinko liberal media bias tactics #101: quote people accurately.

The doctors all seem weirdly ‘welp, that’s it. did our best’ about it? Like you, no kids, but when this behaviour persists so consistently until the six it doesn’t seem like it’s just from nothing? Eventually the kid is going to want her own room, but the issues with sleep seem pretty persistent and the more ingrained…

A seven year old understands the concept of abandonment... but a seven year old also knows YOU ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR AND DID NOT ABANDON THEM.

There was a Friends episode on this! Phoebe dated a guy who wore workout shorts and kept flashing everyone!

Unwanted flashes of another’s anatomy is my least favorite thing about working out in public (in pubic?) It reminds me of a skit where a guy in the gym keeps putting his leg up so that you see right up his shorts. Probably Will Ferrell.

I wasn’t thinking corporal punishment so much as I was thinking of him getting physical with one of the older kids. More of “so you think you are grown now” kind of way. And if there is drinking involved that is likely part of the problem. Maybe one of the kids had it with having to constantly take care of Brad while…

In my experience as an unheard abused kid- ALWAYS err on the side of whatever the kid says happened. Better to have one kid be lying to you and believe him, than one kid who’s not lying, being severely abused, and not be believed and not given help.

When I was a kid (3ish)my dad pulled my arm out of the socket. My mom used to tell me that all the time growing up as proof of my dad’s “temper”. I’m 34 and I have never to this day never seen this temper.

“He put his hands on him...” is bad and can mean a whole bunch of things outside of hitting.

That is pretty much what I expected. Went through that shit with my own husband (8 years sober this November). Alcohol can truly change a person’s personality.

But he’s co-parented with Jolie for 11 years, with 6 different kids. I think if it was a matter of corporal punishment it would have come up before, don’t you? The kids aren’t little anymore.

Sometimes infrequently, but never usually.

He did not hit his child in the face in any way. He did not do that; he is emphatic about that. He put his hands on him, yes, because the confrontation was spiraling out of control.”

He’s not making himself look good. This is from someone who’s on Brad’s side:

the “didn’t hit the child” line comes across to me as carefully worded

Without necessarily what did or didn’t happen, I can say that this is one of the seediest aspects of divorce law: it’s customary to file an initial protective order alleging spousal or child abuse with the court in hopes that the other party will miss the court date, and then withdraw the filing immediately prior to…

You’re right, one never knows what goes on behind closed doors.

I have no idea whether or not Brad Pitt is an abuser. Until Angelina or someone close to the family explicitly makes that claim, I’m taking these allegations with a grain of salt. But as a daughter of someone who was abusive, I reject the idea that abusive people have noticeable tells that we can all spot from a…
