You’re in a really tough spot. Your choices are basically let your husband do what he wants while being clear that you don’t agree and are unhappy or you have to take “the stand”. The stand is basically “if you do this it will damage our relationship and I may leave you because of it”. I have taken “the stand” exactly…

I was just reading some comments about the Depp/Heard story on other sites and I’ve concluded that a video could emerge of Johnny Depp repeatedly punching Amber Heard in the face, and the internet would still declare her to be a gold digger who deserved it.

So fucking depressing.

See also: the disproportionate outrage over vegans, given how few of them there actually are. Everyone loves to be all, “well, they’re all really loud about it!”, but there are usually a bazillion comments complaining about them before one ever shows up to “preach” about anything. And if you pressed them, I’d bet at…

I agree, and I think part of the reason it’s safe to pile on gluten-free people is because it’s safe to demean and gaslight women in our society. In general though I definitely see a culture where people are petty, judging and insulting each other over completely harmless choices they make for themselves, regardless…

There’s a layer of disbelief because it’s gluten, and a separate layer for being female. Everyone believes me when I tell them that raw onions give me heartburn. My experimental observations on my own body are enough proof. No ones asks if I’ve been allergy tested or gaslights me. If I tell them that gluten makes me…

I think an important component in this is our culture’s obsession with gaslighting women. Any time women have sincere dietary needs due to chronic hormonal or gastrointestinal illnesses, people assume that they’re lying and just trying to lose weight, or are hysterical and have an unhealthy body image. Think about it:…

No one is obligated to do anything for family members, but it is pretty much the norm for family members to help each other out with various things

isn’t it grand that idiots come in all shapes and sizes and races and genders? thanks for sharing.

Funny how some self-professed progressives are going to “protest” the corrupt DNC by allowing their fellow women/minority citizens to experience the biggest setback to their constitutional rights in decades, if not centuries.

Yea, this has all the hallmarks of someone for whom English isn’t their first language. It is some micro-agressive bullshit to point that shit out.

“Frank’s posted a plot-thickening, grammatically unfortunate statement.”

Always nice to hear a dignified Republican’s take on the president. Trump is clearly an anomaly in this party, and not at all reflective of most Republicans....

I can’t figure out what the LW wants to accomplish. Is she afraid for niece’s safety? Does she want the nirce to know her father is awful? I feel like if she’s not going to tell her sister, she shouldn’t tell her niece. Otherwise she’s putting the niece in a very awkward position.

If you give a shit about keeping religoin out of politics or a woman’s right to choose, then you vote for the Democrat. ANY Republican getting SCOTUS picks isn’t an option. It’s time to grow the fuck up.

Oh, look, more evidence of Amber’s abuse people won’t admit as legit because they think Gone Girl is the most common scenario in society, instead of an entitled angry addict becoming violent towards a woman. Now it makes sense why she was carrying her laptop while leaving her lawyer’s office. Wonder who will get the…

Obviously she punched herself in the face a year ago, and has been waiting for the right time to frame him and start taking in that sweet, sweet DV victim cash. It’s called a long con, guys.

Everything he’s saying applies to sex workers who are trafficked, coerced, or forced by desperate circumstances into an industry they don’t really want to be in, but it doesn’t apply to sex workers who are working safely, legally and by choice. To be fair to President Carter, there are more in the first category.…

Look, I want to believe her, but couldn’t she have had pope Francis, Bernie Sanders, your second favorite aunt, and the ghost of George Washington all signing affidavits confirming her story? I guess we’ll never know the true story, and we can never, ever, ever believe anything unless we have absolute confirmation.

I was about to say just that: WHO is paying these security guards?

So let’s recap:
