I had the same reaction to the idea of marital rape at that time - it was totally new concept that I had to get my head around. Then in the 80's “date rape” was the new concept. Before then, if a woman went out with a man, and he forced sex on her, it wasn’t treated as a crime.

I look back on that time in amazement. The old rules had just been thrown out, and there weren’t any new ones.

Believe it. You were supposed to show you were tough enough and smart enough to roll with the punches.

Yes. Remember the book “Dress for Succcess”? That is exactly what it advised women. It also told Black people to wear preppy colors even if they didn’t work well with Black skin tones. The book sold about a bazillion copies.

In referring to “those hospital billing employees” I was referring specifically to those in the article that reportedly billed the rape victim 7 times and then escalated to a collection agency. At some point a responsible person can look at what they are doing on the job and decide they are not going to just follow…

Eh, better rethink a name with those 3 initials.

Saline is heavier than fatty tissue. Fun fact: That’s why you can float in the Dead Sea!

Those hospital billing employees should be replaced with the first office robots to come off the assembly line. The robots would be less likely to screw up, and can be programmed to express empathy if they do.

If you’ve read my previous comments (and those of many if not most others on this thread) you will see female readers here think this article is terrible for trivializing domestic violence on the part of this woman. I don’t know how the writer feels about men. But it looks like she at best doesn’t care when they get…

It’s not feminism in this article, it’s nihilism. A toddler being emotionally traumatized was glossed over in favor of reporting on a twitter war.

While you are waiting for the incoming comments take a few to read the other posts. Readers here think this article is seriously screwed up.

I agree. When men are abused by women, they become victims of misogyny. Reviled by other men for showing weakness to a woman.

That’s true. But men generally treat it as humorous, as a way of ridiculing both the man and woman involved, to make her less threatening.

A year old witnessed his mom assault his dad, probably not for the first time.

The last time I was waiting for a “genius” I had to witness a good 6" of butt crack from one of their uniformly 20 something employees. Meanwhile they don’t hire qualified older workers, even retired Apple engineers. http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/09/05/genius-bar-doesnt-hire-retired-apple-engineer-fires-up-age-…

Yeah, starting at birth when he is given a “classy” aristocratic title as a first name. Better at least than being named after a jewelry store.

There are great restaurants based on traditional southern cuisine. Maybe if you weren’t such an abusive jerk someone would have taken you to one.

Yes, not to mention a traditional cuisine that is as good if not better than any other region of the country.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Yeah, it’s not rocket science. No one else was confused. You call Wife of Bath “retard” but it’s everyone else’s fault that you are unable to follow a conversation? You are a real jewel, aren’t you.
