The adults decided it wasn’t necessary or desirable to report the assault of a three-year-old, because it might have consequences for the perpetrator’s father. Besides, the perpetrator was just “curious” (according to him) and he had a low IQ and learning disabilities (although he was in regular high school classes at…

She did. Some sort of hearing loss condition.

Certain people have this expression that says, “You wouldn’t believe the shit I think is a good idea.” She’s one of them. (You see most of the rest of them in rehab, criminal court, or jail.)

Let’s also take a moment to appreciate that we’re changing “severe or pervasive” to “severe and pervasive and objectively offensive.” So... a onetime sexual assault isn’t, by definition, pervasive. It only fulfills two conditions out of three under the new standard. So... dismiss the complaint? (Also, I’m not seeing a…

Among the women in my family, the rule is articulated thus, “Anything he’ll do with you, he’ll do to you.”

“Listen, honey. You’re gaining weight because all women lose self control within a month or two of starting the pill. The connection here remains a mystery. Say, are you having chest pain?”

This. The interactions of various plastic additives and women’s health have been known and more or less ignored for... well, decades at this point. Along with the side effects of birth control, hormones and antibiotics in meat and dairy, and on and on ad nauseum. I remain baffled and annoyed that side effects which…

I started getting AARP mail at 26. I was, and am, confused.

In our house Anthem is called “Me Too Destiny” because neither of us can reliably remember the name.

Most of the models for these paintings were dudes. That’s why they’ve got so much muscle and why the boob placement/shape can get... strange.

I’m a Millennial, and a teacher in his 30s from my highly regarded public high school married a student the minute she turned 18 (this would have been 2006), and everyone knew they were “an item” well before that. He coached girls’ soccer prior to that and everyone “knew” about him, including the Boomer parents. They…

I always liked that Mulan had to work for her success in a way that other (male) Disney characters didn’t. She’s not a Disney princess- there’s no presumption that she deserves success thanks to birthright.

Came here to say this but you beat me to it. “A Girl Worth Fighting For” made the soldiers look like idiots to me when I saw it in theaters, and I was nine at the time. It is literally a song about why none of them have wives or girlfriends- because they’re awful and have terrible views on women.

I, for one, am feeling smug and satisfied by proxy about how well this is going.

...yeah, I will not be playing this game.

I’m a strictly, 100% PvE player. I read the requirements for this latest grindfest, nodded politely, and noped back off into the wild. It’ll be trash when Forsaken launches anyway. Until then, I’m after the MIDA Multitool and I’d like to add a Celestial Nighthawk to my collection.

NO BIDEN. NO OCTOGENARIAN PRESIDENTS.

Yep, he’s into you too. :) Keep us posted.

My then-boyfriend, now husband had minor surgery and told his mother while on heavy pain meds and partial sedation that I was perfect in every way when we were maybe two or three months into dating. She told me. So if the opportunity to interrogate him while he’s impaired in some way arises, don’t hesitate!
