One of the classic elements of abuse however is financial. You can outwardly appear to have money, but he is controlling all of it.

This wouldn’t be happening if it was men who got pregnant. I’m not being misandrist, just being fucking honest.

Mr. Pierce, the next time you are asked anything at all about sexual abuse, try this:

You go, Roooo! This is true for people of color as well as women. When I worked in health care, we were always taught to look for signs of heart disease or hidden heart attacks in Black and Hispanic people at much younger ages than we might in a European person. When someone asked him why, my teacher, Robson, just…

Not to mention that, much like when we talk about rape and sexual assault, focusing on the behaviors and backgrounds of DV victims tends to drag the discussion entirely away from talking about the perpetrators and how we need to educate them.

I don’t know how the clumsy wife explanation for injuries ever got believed except by idiots.

The Oregon Trail is always relevant

How Jeb could be the disappointing son in a family with GWB is not something I can comprehend.

I struggle with this. I think it’s simply the case that a lot of women are shaped by the ethos of the larger culture, and that ethos is profoundly anti-woman. I also think it’s why women who are Republican or conservative-identified (a fairly significant majority of older, married white women) are so deeply resentful…

I imagine it’s really easy if you’re stupid, evil, greedy or any combination of those.

I cried at work when I found out the Houston shooter was wearing a nazi uniform. I live in Orange County which is extremely right wing, extremely ignorant. Elie Weisel would speak at chapman university every year becuase of the high rate of holocaust deniers in this county. I am truly terrified of this country…

I don’t have anything to add. Just wanted to say thank you for articulating this so well. $30k is peanuts to Drumpf, but it can ruin the average person’s life.

Trump screwing people out of money means nothing to him because he’s never had to worry about it, but getting stiffed at this scale this literally ruins people’s lives.

This is maybe just a fogey-style question, but--I do wonder how many people out there value the idea of behaving honorably, versus getting over on people. I assume it’s people in the latter camp who are “yea Trump!”

You’re underestimating how much his supporters REALLY REALLY want to have brown people know their fucking place again.

Yeah. Hungry for pussy.

I just want to complain here about the fact my sister looks like Joan Collins in that picture and I do not.

Isn’t this dude rich as fuck? Can’t he just give money to their family and be done with it? Sorry but nope still not worth it. If he wants to display compassion he can do so with his own money. To raffle off a chance to punch him in honor of his friend’s memory is pretty par for the course with his tacky ass…

Indeed.
