I don’t think it’s fair to assume she’s not economically dependant on him at this point. Perhaps not in the same way as a single mother with less than a high school education living in rural West Virginia, but abusers want to control every aspect of your life. As far as I know she hasn’t done much work recently, so I…

Seriously if men drugged and robbed women...

For as long as commercial film making has been in existence, storylines have included or blatantly celebrated misogyny, relegating female characters to that of loyal, imbecilic wife, fuckpiece, or punching bag. All of the moralizing over how utterly despicable this storyline and behavior of the protagonists is makes…

It me, an Old:

I wish there was a condition that stopped me from being able to read men’s comments on mainstream news websites. 

You’re not going to hear Blurred Lines in the same places as Baby It’s Cold Outside. You barely hear blurred lines anywhere anymore, whereas you’ll hear baby it’s cold outside all over the place this Christmas and every Christmas in the future.

I’m not surprised at all, given this has been the Me Too year.  If ever the conversation was going to be rekindled, it was now.

If they actually purchased $1.5 million in face value debt for $12,500, this must have been the worst sort of garbage zombie debt that the original creditors had long since given up on collecting and was being traded for pennies on the dollar by scam artists. 

This is the first time I’ve heard of “brolic.” But I am an Old, so I don’t keep up with all the new slang.

The origins (per usual) are Black people and Black culture. One could argue that it could be applied to allies, and I would listen, but I don’t yet agree.

It is not forced cultural assimilation to explain that in the new country there are laws, and those laws must be obeyed. Rape is against the law, even if it is of one’s spouse. This does not seem to me to be remotely controversial.

To me, the last paragraph exemplifies why this is a good idea. It seems like they’re going out of their way to avoid saying “your immigrant ways are wrong” and instead are saying “there are the rules here. even if these rules don’t apply where you are from, they apply in Norway.”

Yeah, I prefer the Satanic Temple’s tactic of circumventing all of the wait periods and useless ultrasound nonsense, etc, by saying that it all violates their religious rights. Because it reinforces the idea that women have a right to bodily autonomy that shouldn’t be based on anyone else’s religious beliefs, but on…

I look at it more as “See, this is what should actually have a waiting period” rather than drawing a direct parallel. Because a lot of the restrictions on abortions would actually be totally reasonable and helpful when applied to gun purchasing.

I actually meant tuma’

According to an old maxim - if a man really wants to impress a woman, after a night of booze-fueled sex he should turn into a pizza.

True story - my mom and grandma have curly hair. My grandma had always gotten shit at jobs for her hair. When she finally got a union job, she wore a straight wig for her entire probationary period (a few months?) ad then the day after her probation was up, she wore her real hair to work and they couldn't say a damn…

Cuckoo bananas is the perfect description for it.

Or change the system. D20 keeps rolling high? D&D. D20 keeps rolling low? Dungeonslayers/ The Dark Eye.

Finally, a Disney Princess post I give a damn about.
