My husband proposed to me when we went on a trip to an old camping site I used to go to as a kid. We sat by the river and he said he wanted to marry me. It was sweet and I said yes, but I would have said yes if we had been sitting on the couch.

But they don't think abortion is murder. Or rather, whether or not abortion is murder is way lower on their list of priorities than controlling women's bodies and sexuality. The whole abortion = murder thing is a smoke screen.

Criticizing this man for his looks is giving him a taste of his own medicine. Don't live your life judging everyone else and yourself using two different measurements.

Freaky cool kids are supposed to be ours! What the hell? Get back into your pleated chino pants and sensible collared shirt—oh f-it, I'll just wait until you hit 24; you'll do it yourself.

I think it would be nice if kids weren't raised on the story of a man being crucified and tortured specifically so they don't burn forever and ever, but I'm clearly just a pansy agnostic.

I don't know...I think it's okay to draw attention to the fact that he has one standard for women that he obviously does not hold himself to. If he were a young, very attractive man I'd be equally uncomfortable with him going after other people's physical appearance, but my reasons would be a little different. To me,

For some reason I had always assumed that the writers of these sections were female—mainly because everything only sounds like something that would be said out loud in a "mean girl" voice.

Note the 'probably', you're giving the man too much credit by playing it down like that.

Also from your post:

"It's much more a reflection of misogyny in society than his own misogyny."

Again, that he is a symptom of a wider problem doesn't detract from his own actions. It is just as much a reflection upon himself as it

i disagree. the point that's being made is that he is a hypocrite (or a sexist or both), because he is unattractive himself, not merely shaming him for being unattractive. Kind of like enjoying Joe Francis' dismay at a sex tape of his being sold without his permission, even though one normally thinks that is very

Absolute rubbish.

"How can we blame the assassin? It's society's fault that people want to hire contract killers sometimes! He's just doing his job! Making ends meet!"

"Those poor drug cartels, having to murder so many people for control and intimidation. If only society would clean itself up so they wouldn't have to

He has been pretty tapped into the oppression/shaming situation since the beginning of our relationship, which has been amazing. As he gets older, he is noticing more media occurrences and it is fantastic to have some very thought provoking discussions with him. It is also quite lovely to overhear him at social events

It's what he chooses to do for money. He chooses to be a misogynist. Fuck him. Sorry if he's old, but he chooses what he does for a living. He could go work in retail or fast food, but no - this is what he chooses for his career. It's all on him.

I'm really upset, too. I can give you an address where you can send those mint Oreos.

There aren't enough "grown-up tops" in the world to cover this man's existence.

Seriously, I said the same thing about the glasses. All he's missing is the trench coat and the white van. Ugh.

I dunno, man, rape seems pretty violent to me. Hacking on the other hand? That's like cheese and crackers at Grandma's house on Sunday. It's like comparing apples to sniper rifles.

God, right? Two posts in with this guy and I'm like

If the end is just, sometimes you have to do illegal things to bring to light the illegal actions of another.

I, for one, am happy to see law enforcement thoroughly and vigorously take an interest in rape cases. Now, if only they could focus on the rapists.

I'm going to gif my way out of this because, well, fuck.
