As someone who attended Bowling Green State University, I find your username funny, although I know you’re referring to the horrible massacre.

My goodness its so refreshing to see a handful of people in this thread letting us know how the abused woman SHOULD have behaved and what she SHOULD have done. Or what YOU, Chuck Norris, would have done had he tried this with you. Oh wait, not refreshing, that’s not the word.

Draco wouldn’t be caught dead with these pleb assholes.

But when you come right down to it Suzzee, is reading Princess Daisy and skipping ahead to the sex parts really reading? Really?

Did you just get here? Anyone who has any interest in real BDSM knows that 50 Shades is a crock of problematic shit. And ignoring a partner’s dos and donts and hard limits, ignoring her requests for you to stop or ease up has no place in “BDSM”. I’m into pretty rough, pretty problematic fantasy, but this is some…

I agree. Except as someone who writes/consumes dub and non-con erotica I’ve been told that that TOO is 100% wrong to do right here on this very site even though words on a page are not real people. (Yes, I’m a woman). So now it’s Hentai is allowed or nothing at all? My kinks are my kinks, and have been since I was a…

If there are models that include working with other children and other educators and following some sort of list of requirements I can see how it could maybe work in the most perfect of circumstances, but from the admittedly small amount of research I’ve done (which is just documentaries and youtube videos and threads…

She’s engaging in “unschooling” which is the latest in the realm of homeschooling, where everything is child directed. You only have to learn what ‘fascinates you’! If you don’t feel like learning how to do long division,don’t! Just go to the nature center for the afternoon.

In my case I would have to have paid out of pocket to try again. My insurance covered four attempts and one live birth. (gross phrasing but there it is). We had two blastocysts saved for four years in case we magically fell into some money and could have them implanted so my daughter could have a sibling, but then…

Sigh...yes. My mother in law was genuinely concerned that our daughter, conceived via IVF would ‘have no soul’. Luckily, she’s changed her tune and couldn’t be more in love with her granddaughter...but it was the most ignorant thing I’d ever heard.

After seven years of infertility and two rounds of IVF we tried to pursue adoption. Whereas IVF was covered almost completely by our insurance (I only paid copays and for prescriptions) adoption would have required a $7500 non refundable “donation” at the beginning of the process (which wouldn’t even guarantee a…

Right. I mean, look I’m happy to admit that i hate hate hate my period. I know I’m supposed to cherish my “woman’s moon time” or whatever, but it’s gross and messy and if i went into my office bathroom which has two sinks, and saw a woman dumping out blood and clots into the sink I would NOT be ok with it, just like i…

I mean...cool. But what you’re saying is that on a heavy flow day at work I have to insert my tampon and then carry out this bloody, clot covered applicator over to the sink and wash it out? Conversely, wrap it up in fifty yards of tp, put it in my pocket/purse until i can get to a sink alone somewhere?

Thanks so much. Your story is both inspiring and heartbreaking. I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that and not have the support you needed. I’m definitely there for her and telling her that her brain getting some things mixed up and we just need to figure out how to untangle it. i told her a long time ago that…

My daughter is eleven. She has no social media accounts, she uses the internet to watch youtube videos and do homework. We monitor her technology usage daily. If you read above you’ll see that she’s having debilitating panic attacks and anxiety that have ZERO to do with that. Quit blaming technology for a problem…

So we should go backwards with our technology, leave children completely in the dark about the internet and then have them suddenly go into a world that is almost exclusively web based and expect them to flourish? Good plan.

I didn’t realize there was nothing on the internet besides social media!

My daughter’s homework is ON THE INTERNET. Do you have any idea what’s going on in schools these days or are you just pulling this out of your ass? Go look up Google Classroom. She gets information from her teachers ON the internet. She has to fill out worksheets and answer questions ON THE INTERNET. I wish I’d…

“Sorry, my daughter couldn’t hand in her homework, or do research on that paper she’s writing....kmc2013 said banning the internet would cure her depression.”

Thank you so much for this story. I’m so glad to hear that you’re at the other end of the tunnel.
