After I ignored my neighbor's screams and found out later that she'd been put in the hospital for domestic violence injuries, I vowed to never mind my own business again when it comes to that sort of thing. I've checked on other neighbors over the years when I thought it was necessary. We need to look out for each…

She didn't actually agree, she was abused into agreeing. That is different.

Because abusers know how to pick there victims. Believe me, the grooming started long before he pulled out that contract for her to sign.

When police asked her why she didn't leave him earlier, she stated that 1) she loved him and that 2) he took care of her—Harden controlled her diabetes medication and never taught her how to use her insulin pump.

Jesus. That poor woman. Thank god she got out. And I hate to think how his kids are going to grow up. All of this is fucked, and I am so sorry that happened to her.

I'm no lawyer but I'm willing to bet "Slave Contracts" are not actually legally binding so the terms don't really matter do they?

She is an incredibly brave woman and I admire her strength in getting herself out of that horrible situation. It isn't an easy thing to do.

There is a part of me that really, really wants to try Zumba because dammit it look like a riot. The rest of me knows that I would stand there awkwardly feeling terrible about my lack of coordination and saying "sorry!" every five minutes when I collide with someone.

I fricking love Zumba. It's hokey, and weird, and they make you shout along to the music, but I love it. The reason I love it is because there is always ALWAYS a little old lady in the front of the class who just does her own thing. Everyone else is grape-vining? She's shimmying like shimmyest shimmyer who ever…

Well, to view it consensually you would have to click on a descriptive link first. Given that's not how the comments works, I'd say that's a no.

As soon as I saw the header photo before the jump, I was like, "There's no way Gaston doesn't have a tiny, tiny penis."

Anybody who thinks it's hypocritical for us to hate rape and like sex isn't very good at thinking.

Being non-consensually assailed with violent, graphic imagery of rape porn is not even close to the same thing as voluntarily looking at porn that appeals to you.

Yes, we will do that on the same day that anyone gives a shit about what you think.

The whole time we were working on this, I couldn't get this out of my head:

It explains so much. The vaguely phallic antler decorations. The obsession with a trophy wife. Lashing out when Belle clearly cares about the Beast (whose dick would surely be far bigger than it is in his human state).

No, of course you can call out obvious racism in something without being racist. In this particular case though: 1) There is no obvious racism and 2) The only non-obvious racism exists if you make the racist assumption that gang culture = African American or Hispanic culture.

right—-seems like a copycat of "Thug Life" on Tupac….which has been played out over and over and over again.

I agree. It's tasteless, but not racist. If they took a picture making fun of ridiculous hipster trends, no one would accuse them of racism. Frankly, what seems the most racist here is that Mark is implying that gang culture is somehow part of African American or Hispanic cultures.
