considering how few rape charges even make it to trial, let alone lead to a conviction, I'm highly skeptical that men are going to jail for a rape they didn't commit. Unless, of course, you are talking about race....lots of poor black men go to jail for a myriad of crimes they didn't commit. Rape is probably one of…

Sure, of course it happens. It is just fairly rare because most victims fear the legal process and social shaming. And it's troubling when the number of false accusation prosecutions starts to get as high as the number of actual prosecutions for rape. If more rape cases were brought to trial, I wouldn't have any…

'But why didn't she report it? If she didn't report it, it must not have actually happened.'

Persecuting women for lying about rape is in and of itself not a bad thing, which I think most people will agree on. But what just boggles the mind is that the mother fucking POLICE forces women to retract their claims by intimidating and then prosecuting them for it. I mean what kind of world are we living in here??…

Even aside from what was said about Sasha and Malia - hateful and stupid - it equally blows my mind that this idiot referred to the mixed race son of a single mother, who came from no wealth or privilege, went on to earn degrees from Columbia and Harvard and was elected President of the United States TWICE ... as "not…

Yup. The internet is forever, Elizabeth.

I think she imagined racist right-wing assholes applauding her for her mavericky truthiness and then offering her a gig as a Fox News correspondent. Which may yet happen.

If two Ivy League-educated, successful adults are bad role models, my parents should be seriously concerned.

Good.

I'm okay with this.

I saw the Obama girls during that ceremony and laughed my ass off - my girls would have been doing EXACTLY the same thing. Dad jokes are lame. Did they look bored of out their skull? Yes. I'm sure they were. Did they look like they wanted to be basically anywhere else? Yes. I'm sure they did. Were their skirts too…

How is it baffling? Woman who thinks of herself as having good morals and values, in this case because she's one of those performing christian types, tears into young women for their behavior and appearance due to trying to score points with the norm as it pertains to her, but it results in a stunning display of…

Her comments about the girls were immature and tacky, but her comments about the President and First Lady were even worse. They don't respect the nation? They're bad role models? What an idiot.

Lauten deleted the post and apologized, saying that after "hours of prayer," she realized that she was wrong.

I emailed her and told her what I thought of publicly attacking someone else's kids in order to take a swipe at their parents. I was polite. Ish. I have never done that before, and I know the likelihood that she saw it are next to nothing. I don't give a shit. :)

It was an honest mistake... she meant to call them thugs.

I had a near breakdown at 22. It's a weiiiiird age to be at but honestly, just enjoy it. You're not as old as you feel you are.

Treat yourself like you would treat your best friend. Be as forgiving, as patient and don't put up with a significant other treating you in ways you wouldn't approve of someone treating your friend.

Everywhere! Literally if they're under 40, they'll look like that here :-)

I know it's hard, but try not to listen to those messages. The people I know who married early and tried to lock everything down when they were young suffered a lot. If you're worried about kids, you've got plenty of time. :) I find that I know myself better and am happier each year (late 20s woman).
