But an abused woman is often under complete control. Sometimes they forget they even can do anything on their own, without their husband’s approval.

She wouldn’t be the first abused woman to believe her husband wouldn’t really do the horrible things he said.

There’s a reason he chose this place. He’s a gay Elliot Rodger.

There’s the real problem...people not being considerate of the people behind them. I’m a bit of a front row junkie, and I also like to capture images to aid my memory of details later, but I do it with my phone at my chest, not over my head. I’m a short girl myself so I can’t even bring myself to put up my arms when…

It is possible to both enjoy the moment and capture it for later. Memories are great, but incredibly fallible. I can’t stand to put a camera between my face and the stage, but I’ll sure as heck put my phone up against my chest and tap the shutter button until my thumb bleeds, and as a result I can tell you every…

PETA: Embarrassing vegetarians since 1980.

And yet they’ve been open for decades with no incidents. There is signage about gators and other wildlife in other places on the property. They trap and remove gators from the lagoon when they find them. Their system has worked up to this point. They’ll probably be more explicit now, but it’s hard to argue negligence…

I’m sure they probably will now, but I can’t call them negligent for not, when millions of people have been coming for decades without this happening.

All my things are in storage right now, or I’d dig them out to see, but I feel certain I’ve seen alligator warnings in pamphlet packages I’ve gotten at check-in, although it might have been on the ones at Shades of Green, which is on property but not run by Disney. There is signage around to remind people that wild…

THANK YOU. This is the second time I’ve seen dingoes come up in comments about this child, and it’s like no one ever noticed that that poor lady was exonerated.

Disney World is huge....like a town of its own. They can’t possibly rid it of wildlife, and honestly, the wildlife is one of the loveliest things about it. Walking around the value resorts, sometimes you’ll see the sidewalks covered in frogs if the sprinklers have just come on. The Deluxe DVC resorts are full of…

This is not specific to the article, or to comments here...I just need to get this off my chest in response to comments I’ve been seeing on this news all over the web.

You obviously haven’t read many details about this case. There were a lot of incidents, and a lot more than just a phone.

Please do.

You might want to reread your dictionary. Violence does in fact have a meaning, and damaging property is in it.

Yes, and we should stop pretending it isn’t. If more of us were aware of this, more of us would get out before the physical violence makes it to our bodies instead of our surroundings.

Depp was arrested for domestic violence. He smashed $10,000 worth of furniture while screaming at Kate Moss. Punching walls (note his broken hand a while back) and breaking things while arguing with a partner is abuse, and we need to stop pretending it isn’t. More women would leave their abusive relationships earlier,…

That part kills me, because I read those things. What person who hasn’t lived with an abuser would think of anything close to those messages? Who in their right mind would say, “Hmmm...I think I’ll fabricate abuse evidence. Why don’t I have Johnny’s assistant tell me ‘When I told him he kicked you, he cried...”?

Cue all the MRAs jumping in to tell us how women abuse men just as often as men abuse women, and to please ignore the variance in injury and death between the two. She’s got bruises to show for it, but sure, her grabbing Tasya’s arm in the airport proves she’s been just as abusive to him.

Abusers tend to believe they’re the one being abused. =( I’m glad your friend is getting away.
