"Cramblett goes on to say that she doesn't know much about black people and it's a lot to learn; in addition, her small Ohio home of Uniontown is "too racially intolerant."

If she's suing for the funds it will take to relocate her family and keep them afloat until new jobs are found, I'll allow it. That seems like an expense that is necessary for this child's well-being that would not have been necessary but for the mixup. If she's suing for emotional distress, she can get bent.

Right. Because every rape victim ever has always been immediately aware of the severity of what took place and never tries to excuse, rationalize or blame themselves for what happen. No rape victim has ever remained silent because they feared shame, reprisal or further abuse for making "a big deal" out of having been…

or maybe she was so shocked, she was in denial, and assumed that what happened wasn't rape.

Wow like women who get the shit beaten out of them and still go back to the abuser. Thank God we have you to tell us what REAL VICTIMS act like. BARF

We don't know if he forced her to go back to the hotel room. He could have made her feel so unsafe that she couldn't say no. Please stop victim blaming, you asshole.

The big ticket items about things like wanting children or attitudes toward religion are exactly the things that aren't going to be a big deal on the first few dates. I'd actually say that's why people consider them dealbreakers - they're something people need to remind themselves of when they're faced with a…

I dunno that "is into SUP yoga" or "is a conservative smoker" is really a dealbreaker the same way that "doesn't want kids and I do" is a dealbreaker. Combining the two into the same study seems kinda sketch.

I think the problem with the term "dealbreakers" is that it encompasses everything from not wanting to date someone who's not passionate about the exact same bands to not wanting to date someone who wants to have 19 children and who thinks your gay sibling is going to hell.

Fuck that. She's awesome. What I hate most is that this story doesn't surprise me.

I believe that this is about outsized expectations. People are not apps. They are not cool new software that you can download and then dump whenever they don't fit your many, numerous demands. OkCupid is not a vending machine. If you meet a person IRL you don't create a checklist of demands that they must follow. You…

Gee, I can't imagine why you're not having enjoyable sexual experiences with women. Maybe few of them have the patience or stamina to spend hours trying to placate a shrieking manbaby. It's hard to get creative in bed when you're exhausted, or constantly worrying that you didn't do something exactly right. If you…

If I'm reading fiction, it better have fairly explicit sex scenes, and I'd rather they got rid of the plot, because, much like elaborate clothing, it just gets in the way.

The idea of this family structure is super interesting to me, but I agree that living with my mother would be... not my first choice. Like, I love her, but she makes me fucking crazy also. However, raising kids with my brother and sisters would be awesome. We'd have such empathetic, well-adjusted kids in that house.

I feel like the Western way allows for people to still have a functional life even if their family is shitty, whereas the Mosuo way really requires all families to be functional (non-abusive, caring, unselfish, collaborative). If your matriarch is a terrible mom/leader and your family becomes dysfunctional, there is…

Here, you leave your family as soon as humanly possible and don't look back lest you dissolve into the dust of weakness and ineffectual shame.

GUYS I JUST WATCHED A COOL DOCUMENTARY ON THIS (and other marriage customs in China). (ok the british narration is so obviously from a western dude perspective it's painful. the patriarchy! the outdated mores! the horror! but otherwise its so informative and neat to see totally different ways of arranging ourselves…
