There’s a post going around on facebook right now from someone who used to campaign for her, saying that she outright told him that her daughter was enrolled there so she wouldn’t be around black students.  Because her husband had wanted it that way, she said. =/ Jackson Free Press has been doing a ton of excellent…

That woman is a goddamn hero.

Here’s hoping we’re a hell of a lot harder on her next Tuesday at the ballot box.

^^Yes, this.  It’s normal for a business to require a purchase, and it sounds like this lady may have been freeloading pretty regularly, but this didn’t have to be a big scene.  The owner could have gone out to speak to her, let her know the policy and that they were beginning to enforce it, and then LEFT HER ALONE. …

We’re really just taking her word for that, though. The article says she visits so frequently the employees know her by sight, but nothing about how many of those visits actually include a purchase. The employees might not have stepped up because they may have been the ones to identify this lady to the owner as…

Gigantic thanks from Mississippi! ^_^ Especially now with Mike Espy advancing to the Senate runoff, there’s a real hope of turning that seat blue!

Not to make light of this, but wtf, Alabama?  We beat this thing in MISSISSIPPI.  

I certainly wouldn’t do it. But yeah, this fazes him. Big time.

I’m of two minds on this subject. On the one hand, I don’t want to contribute to body shaming or making anyone feel bad for the way they are made. On the other hand......I have known very few women who care much about penis size at all. Maybe 1-2% of women I’ve ever talked about sex or penises with have cared in the…

I’m certain of it. In the years I spent with someone with the same personality disorder, I saw him rewrite his own memories all the freaking time. They convince themselves first...that’s how they can seem so convincing to everyone else. (On a smaller scale, that is.....most narcissists don’t have millions of witnesses…

So many of these comments should still be grey. =( I guess someone posted a call to action on AVFM/4chan/wherever else these ethically deficient MRAs spend their time.

WE HAVE THE DATA ON THIS.

I struggle with things like this for a couple of reasons...first, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Second, I grew up pretty darned sheltered and had no idea what blackface was or why it would be a bad thing to do until I was in my 20s and saw a Designing Women rerun that mentioned it. I can’t tell how…

Abusers see every little thing as deliberately victimizing them.  

That’s pretty darned normal for an abuse victim, though. Especially for the types of emotional abuse she described, victims rarely understand it as abuse while they’re experiencing it. They focus on and cling to the things that the abusive partner is doing right. Most don’t process it and come to terms with it as…

At the very least it’s sexual abuse.  She said she would be in tears some of the time, and he laughed about it.  

Why on earth would anyone care what he *wanted*? All that matter was what he DID, which was shove his fingers (and PINE NEEDLES and DIRT) into the vagina of an unconscious woman.

You didn’t even read her statement, did you?  

Coerced into having sex and raped are the same thing. You don’t seem to understand how abusers can appear to be a good guy even while they’re abusing. You also seem to have a whole lot to say about things that are nowhere in what I wrote.

Because they don’t disprove her story.  It’s normal for an abuse victim to still be addicted to the abuser for months after the discard.
