It’s helpful for anyone who makes their money in cash — tipped employees, etc. I make all my money in cash. Or anyone who doesn’t have a bank account. Which is a lot of people. Especially now that banks require TWO picture IDs to get an account! Plenty of people could have a legit job with a paycheck, but they cash…

I make cash in my profession. In order to pay my rent, my landlord only accepts bank transfers. My bank account is at Wells Fargo, which doesn’t exist in the state I moved to this year, so I am looking for a way to take my cash and transfer it to my WF account. I could get another bank account, but I prefer to keep…

Is anyone actually saying that this time? It seems like the stalking and harassment might mean that he wasn’t that nice to people. But yeah people tend to only see what they want to.

Why does she hate Hillary so much?? I have these vague memories of reading her column in the late 90s when I was in high school, and though I followed politics, I was never clear on why she hated the Clintons so much. Is it the Monica scandal??

Of course they exist. They are the same exact people. Would you say Indians don't exist because they don't live in teepees and use bow and arrows anymore? What the hell do you mean that they aren't the same people?

Yes gypsies still exist in Europe. There are documentaries if you’re interested. They still move around in RVs and live by performing, scamming, and selling stuff. And their relatives exist in America and other places. Just like Indians, their numbers are small but that doesn’t mean it’s ok to use slurs. If blacks…

Yeah I only comb my curly hair before washing, I comb with a very wide toothed pick after washing but only when it's still soaking wet, to help it go in the right direction. Then I scrunch with leave in curl conditioner. It took me 28 years to figure out how to do that. Before, my hair was a frizzy mess because no one…

Amen! When I was young and sheltered I didn’t know where the anger came from, from older feminist ladies I knew. At this point I sometimes fantasize about torturing and killing certain men because of things I have been through. Even the “good” ones I know, including some boyfriends, just have no clue. They try, but…

Whoa. I realize you wrote this five years ago, but I was reading stories related to the recent Erin Andrews news... this is maybe the best internet comment I’ve ever read. You, sir/madam, are a comedic/literary genius.

Deadly waves of homosexuality... hahaha... also nice Terry Pratchett reference. :)

Thank you, and I’m glad you were able to learn something from this discussion.

Safety? Some women may not want to bunk with men, regardless of orientation. That was the first thing that popped into my head, but there could be any number of reasons why people would want to bunk with their own sex. But since the campsite in question offered a unisex bunk, it’s not an issue, right?

I’m not sure if she was a victim of anything... she really did seem to be pretty crazy, but I suppose that could have been the result of something.

addendum — I said that I was living in motels at the time because that is why I was watching cable news a lot, because 1. I had free cable and 2. there wasn’t much else to do. haha. I just read that over and realized it seemed like a totally unrelated fact to throw in there.

I don’t know, I was living in motels at the time and it was ubiquitous on cable news and Nancy Grace. Basically Jodi was just really really crazy, one of the few women who WILL kill when rejected. She acted like a total loon in court, too, like flirting with various attorneys, and coming up with the craziest…

Yes most men I know DO know what a serious issue this is! In fact most non-asshole guys I've dated have told me horrible stories about the other women they dated and what they went through from some other guy. Also I tend to be a little careless, like leaving my apartment unlocked (in a small town) and many men in my…

Haha, best comment on this thread. Great analogy between the quote and the anger of Mr Notallmen.

The funny and horribly misogynist thing about the aftermath of the Arias murder was how many news anchors and talking heads acted like crazy women killing men WAS a statistically significant problem! I wish I could remember who, but I heard it a few times on the news. They acted like it happened more than men killing…

The meme refers to what *women* are *afraid of*. You read it as what *men* will *do 100 percent of the time*. Don’t you see the difference? Every woman I know has these fears about men. That doesn’t mean every man is going to kill a woman or that they are all capable of it. It means that every woman lives with this…

Yes. To the point that when breaking up with two different guys, I planned to leave when they were at work and had friends help me pack up all my stuff in that 8-hour period, then called them to break up when I was at a safe and unknown location.
