but the part you are criticizing her for included is the part where she admits that she’s feeling spiteful about the situation right now, I don’t think people would leave out how they are feeling in that moment even if they made them look bad

In the US you can copyright a logo on the clothes but you can’t copyright the design of the clothes (you don’t want someone copyrighting the basic pattern to a t-shirt jacking up the prices of something that’s really utilitarian), so I’m assuming given where the companies are from what is copyrighted is the words “the…

you do know that the mom didn’t say anything about pulling funding? it really doesn’t help people who are actually in abusive families to just make up a hypothetical situation making every relationship look potentially abusive

where does the mother actually threaten the daughter financially?

What is the evidence that this relationship is emotionally abusive besides the fact that it’s possible that any relationship is emotionally abusive?

thank you for saying this

I think if she seriously thought not giving her daughter a christmas gift was a good idea, she wouldn’t have written into dear prudy, she would just have not given her daughter a christmas gift

I agree with you on the “you don’t owe any one a relationship ever” thing, but as someone who as also cut family out of their life, I think if you cut someone out of your life when they are paying for your expenses you have to assume responsibility for those expenses and when you don’t it just comes across as “I don’t…

I don’t think the mother is using financial dependency to emotionally manipulate her daughter, the only way the daughter is financially dependent on the mother is the mother paying for her tuition and the mother is not threatening to cut off her tuition, she said she doesn’t want to get her a christmas gift while…

sadly, in my experience, sexual harrassment is common in most industries and it reaches a point where you just need to be able to pay the bills

while there is problems with the saving yourself thing, I think the person you are replying to does have a point about the problems about violent/dubius consent in porn is problematic especially since that is the norm when it comes to porn, also just because does there are other things that are problematic doesn’t…

The porn performers are at less risk of getting an STI than the general population is not true, there have actually been studies finding the opposite, and it makes sense given that your dealing with a high risk population (multiple partners, not using condoms) and comparing it to a population made up of people who are…

I get that you’re a troll but I’m really sick and tired of seeing people say “there’s innocent until proven guilty” in response to this story, false accusations of rape are not the norm so if someone’s accused of rape, they probably did that, it’s not about him being a guy, it’s that the only information he has points…

not only is it objectifying her but it’s not even a good photo, she’s literally not doing anything in this photograph

yeah the panties thing was weird, like maybe if you want to help women, don’t objectivy them/ask them to send you sexy photos

if the problem was that she had no choice on whether or not to put her child in day care, why didn’t she start campaigning against that before her child died?

I actually think where close to the global population declining on it’s own. The populations of almost all western countires is actually already declining so a lot of countries are dealing with the problems that come from having an aging population and the birth rates in the rest of the world are leveling off so I…

I’m sorry you went through with that

only if she was with him every second of the day

I don’t know about your area, but where I live there is a very real stigma around putting your kids in daycare. Also, I wasn’t saying paid parental leave would stigmatize using day care, I said that THE WAY SHE IS ARGUING for paid parental leave will create stigma—as I said before I agree with her goal, I disagree…
