No no no there’s no problem with her desiring and initiating sex. There’s a major problem that while everyone else is saving the world, she suddenly has no other role than sex. Seriously, she’s the ruler of a country, and she doesn’t have any other contribution to make but fucking the hero? That’s the penthouse forum…

I really appreciate this explanation; thank you. I was struggling to articulate these distinctions in my head.

Does anyone know why dogs aren’t familiars in Potter World? If I can't have a dog then I guess maybe a little tiny sheep? Cat / frog / rat is a lame lineup (props to cat people but we can't all be that cool).

How hard could it be just to condemn what he did? She wouldn’t have to repudiate him as a friend, she could present all her mitigating “he’s a great guy” anecdotes, without normalizing what he did.

Sexist was challenging Trump to a debate as if Hillary Clinton, front runner, didn’t exist. Any woman who’s ever sat in a meeting where less qualified men talk past her as if she's not there recognizes that bullshit for what it is.

Even worse is how his son wants to warm others of the dangers of promiscuity. Promiscuity? Being raped is... promiscuity?

Well put, and also the joke devalued a female character who had been strong and interesting earlier, when she took a stand against the villain’s evil scheme. I was hoping she’d get out of the cell and kick some ass. Nope, she’s just the butt (hehe) of a sexist trope.

I’m 53 and pretty sure boys break my heart cause they’re mean and stupid. Also white knight still totally possible. So. Not just young girls eat it up.

This guys sounds like a condescending douche bag. Poor Calvin, having forced himself to date Taylor Swift until he just couldn’t carry on.

So can she date Harry Stiles again please?

Yep I would buy an 8 track player for this.

Thank you. He's a grandstanding narcissist. He's the Ted Cruz of the Democratic Party.

Ugh he sucks. Glad you're out!

You’ve been accused of that too? Yep it’s crazy making when someone just makes shit up about you. I have genuine human flaws, why not run with those? It's confusing, hurtful and scary because it shook my understanding of who I am. It's impossible, even knowing it's nuts, not to wonder if maybe it's true? Because why…

That’s true, and thank you. I think my point vis a vis the gossip at hand was just that ich bin ein either one of these people, or maybe they both suck.

Pretty elaborate. My ex made me out to be some kind of dangerous predator psychopath, but also maintained I wasn’t intelligent (the “hypnotoad hypothesis”). To this day I think he believed himself. He was a “family values republican” who needed a good rationale for leaving me.

Well she’s also claiming that she only gradually and recently realized he has a substance abuse problem. I strongly believe that claim at least is bullshit.

I’ve been physically abused (beaten, choked) in my life by a partner and that’s bad. But I’ve also had a partner (more than once) fabricate terrible things about me out of whole cloth, and that was also bad. It wasn’t going to kill me but it was intended to take my children from me and I would rather die than lose my…

Ummmmm Jim Morrison was a terrible person... sorry... but at least Bowie was good

Surely the system could be designed better. As it is, there’s no point in the process where you can take your shoes off, etc, while walking, unless you’re young and fairly athletic. The first opportunity to get your things into a bin is right at the checkpoint. What if, for example, the line was next to a long…
