Yeah, the whole heroin addict-rock star thing works out fine for their audiences, not so much for their kids. I imagine she had to do a lot of work to come to grips with his “legendary awesomeness” vs. her childhood’s reality. I say this as a huge Nirvana fan and as an addiction therapist.

I think she does - but I also think its probably hard to think he was also a drug addict and committed suicide. I mean his awesomeness was driven by a much darker side sadly.

Signed someone whose “woke” white friend’s husband jokingly called me a prairie n****r.

I’m not going to hold her accountable and she is not an abused woman cowering and covering her husband’s faults. However she is married to that man and has to have heard at least some racist jokes, language. So you’ll understand why some of us have misgivings about her and her response comes across as self righteous.

I will say this for the last time. Do not hold women accountable for the actions, decisions or words of their partners. Don’t. Do it.

This just solidifies my opinion that David Cross is an asshole, but not an abuser. It sounds like they have a really good relationship, those two. You can love somebody and still acknowledge their faults.

Starred for the “Nope Train to Fuckthatville,” a phrase I have never heard but plan on using every 5 minutes for the rest of my life.

Her piece made me want to punch her in the boobs. I was freaking livid. She acted like a complete twat.

I mean, I’m definitely not hot, and I’ve gotten bad harassment, been followed, disgusting comments, etc. I think it has far more to do about location- I only ever lived in cities, but when I moved from NYC to DC, the volume of harassment went way down.

Victims of these crimes in the workplace, or anywhere they occur, are not obliged to look inward and examine their commitment to feminism in order to combat them. Not conforming to conventional, commercial standards of beauty, or having healthy self-esteem, doesn’t protect one from sexual violence any more than being…

I was with you for a minute there, Mayim, I really was. I, too, have experienced probably less-than-average amounts of sexual harassment and catcalling (though not none, of course, because duh), and I’ve largely attributed it to two things: I’ve always been a homebody, and I’m not hot, just regular. So I get that…

“I’m smart and I’m contrarian and doggone it, I am influential.” <— Maureen to her mirror every morning, probably.

It kinda sucks how the overall conversation about fat has only gone from “how to be skinny” to “how to be fat the right way.” Like even here, OC ends with a dig on “All About That Bass” cause apparently you’ve got to hit the exact right…

It also pisses me off because bigger women can have the most beautiful, rich voices. Look at Aretha Franklin for heaven’s sake. She’s amazing.

Reba and Trisha Yearwood sang “Silent Night” with Kelly on her Christmas album!

And Reba is her mother-in-law! In a perfect world, I would love for them to do a Christmas album together.

It really sucks how fat women are constantly forced to justify their existence, their bodies, and their happiness. Jesus, she is an entertainer. She does her job and entertains and doesn’t bother anybody. Stop making her constantly talk about her body unless she wants to.

Yeah, that’s the hard part is making sure both parties are in the same place regarding the distance/travel time. My wife is INCREDIBLY supportive, but every time I’m gone it makes her life a lot harder because we have three kids under 5 and she works part-time as a nurse. Finding babysitters who will watch kids during…

I’m with you:

Distance can be good. My wife misses me like crazy when I have to leave town for work. I miss her, too, but I rarely have time to even think about it because I’m usually working 14+ hours per day while I’m away. We’ve occasionally left a little miffed at each other (for dumb little things), but the time apart helps us…
