Find someone to check in with every day, okay?  I’m going to worry.

I remember years ago - at least 20, because that’s how long my mom’s been gone - an announcement on the radio while we were driving somewhere that it had been “discovered” that period cramps were REAL. We looked at each other in complete disbelief. ALL those women, in ALL those countries, FOR ALL TIME were making it…

Yes, and a mistake will sometimes be made in the other direction.  If all the “mistakes” point one way, they’re not mistakes.

That looks like a movie I’d enjoy, except... Diane Keaton supports Woody Allen, and I don’t think I could support her by going to her movie.  

I feel bad for the dog. Not training or socializing a dog will cause them problems in the future.

Same - that was meant to be a joke, but is probably too obscure to be funny.  In the 60s it was a phrase said to be commonly used by the Chinese to refer to the US and US allies.  Imperialist warmongers included the US, Great Britain, France, etc., and running dogs are those who help or suck up to them.  I guess I had…

It doesn’t start out that way.  It just ends up that way.

I had the same upbringing. And I had a Mike. Everything was my fault. He also had a list of things that were supposed to happen - the list was only in his head and not discussed with me - and if they didn’t happen that was my fault too. He went shopping alone and left his wallet sitting out in his cart and walked away…

You’re not foolish. You didn’t know, and you were manipulated, and girls are often raised to be vulnerable to shit like this. I’m glad your friends and therapist are helping, and welcome back to sanity and self-esteem.  

The MAGA idiots can’t even tell the difference between Nazis and socialists.  Guaranteed they can’t find their own asses with both hands.

Actually, the NCAA are running dogs of the imperialist warmongers.  It’s important to get it right.

I love my bath sheets.  They’re big and comfy and keep me warm on the walk from the bathroom to the bedroom.  They also remind me of my grandfather.  Anything that reminds me of Grandpa is something I’m happy to buy.

Before I saw the picture and discovered which Karl it was, I was kind of rooting for it to be Karl Rove.  Lagerfield’s fine, though.  I remember him describing (a long time ago) one of his skirts as designed to get you raped.  I instantly lost interest in anything he did from that point on.

I could be missing something, but none of that sounds like “hating men”.  It just sounds like hanging out with your female friends.  We should avoid giving credence to the “man-hating feminist” trope.  

Thank you!

What Creme de la Mer product did you use? I’m not a big user of face products (allergic to most, which makes my rosacea even worse), and I’m looking at the “Face” page on their website. There’s lots there.

So basically, life in a male prison?

I think people are beginning to understand how bad toxic masculinity is for women

If we stop talking about the Duggars, maybe they’ll go away.

I’m sorry this happened to you!  Hugs to you, if you would like them.
