I think this speaks to a traditionalist role of conservative women, perhaps? That there is a high value placed on a strict interpretation of femininity, which I see played out on fox news a lot. I suppose the same could be said for politicians like Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann wherein part of their worth is in…

In a metaphysical, moral sense, if you "believe" in marriage, you respect it by not sleeping with someone who is married. It's pretty that simple, isn't it? If I say I value the exclusive bond between two people, I honor that, otherwise my own "marriage" is falsified, right? If you only respect the contract when it is…

Oh, she's been opening her mouth quite a bit already, especially about "American Exceptionalism":

It's about time! It's been raining men for far too long...

Done!

Yay! This is the antidote to that kind of reality show - articulate, thoughtful, sensible teenagers! When is THEIR reality show coming on? I want to watch something where you actually CHEER someone doing well, not snark at someone doing bad.

In the light of "Love the Way You Lie", this is perhaps not surprising. Sad, yes.

Well, isn't this the same Whoopi who said it wasn't really "rape rape" when Roman Polanksi fucked a child? I could be getting my Whoopis mixed up...

People who continue in abusive relationships sometimes have difficulty with boundaries. Yes, I'm projecting from my own experience (emotional, not physical abuse), but it might be difficult for healthy people like yourself* to understand how easy it is for someone who needs approval so much to rationalize being…

This is a textbook example of abuse apologetics*:

I forgot to say thank you for mentioning this before, rotten, but I'm going right now to order it!

Yeah, right? Add to that compulsive, heavy blinking and involuntary nostril flaring when I first read it...

I'm so sorry you had to go through this, it is very scary when a person like that - who just won't GET iT - doesn't leave you alone! What eventually happened with him?

Thanks for the validation, it means a lot. It was so frustrating that my concerns were brushed aside like I was being a "hysterical female" and that the men involved were solicitous and protective yet still just didn't GET IT. But as soon as my boss and the head of security read what the student wrote, I had no…

...this...

"I never felt comfortable with the whole "crazy eyes" thing either. I'm just curious, how does someone's face/eyes look creepy? Is it because they are larger than usual (like Michelle Bachmann)? Is it because of the whole face? If I just randomly saw this picture, I would not suspect he is a creeper. It really is…

I was a volunteer faculty advisor to our college's film club and had a problem with a young student officer who thought I was a feminazi hell-bent on taking over the club and slaking my lust for power and domination (?!!?!). He had a very virulently misogynistic online conversation with another student officer who was…

"First Amendment Martyr" - exactly. Doing a google search using "Joseph Kowboy Corlett" [tinyurl.com] we see he posted on 5 different forums the same screed, entitled: "Kowboy's Kicked Out of College - Apparently the Bill of Rights doesn't apply at Oakland University".

An English assignment on which he got an "A". From his facebook albums.
