Absolutely. I know people who are awful to their parents, but I never considered it in that light until those people were also adults. Then, they’re awful. Before then, they’re kids being fucking kids, who are by definition dumb and mostly out of their own control. I 100% believe OP’s parents but also acknowledge that

I thought that Margot Robbie was really miscast. Part of the reason Tanya was treated differently from Nancy was that she was not as conventionaly pretty. Margot is too beautiful and she also really can’t pass as a teenager, even with braces and bad hair. She looks like a mid to late 20s woman playing dress up. It

Would’ve been nice if he yelled at Mark Halperin instead of berating the women on his show...

That same guy goes on reddit years later with a post complaining about how everyone targeted him in the women’s studies class and gets 1000 likes.

The weirdest thing about Morning Joe to me is now obsessed all New Yorkers are with it, and how little it matters anywhere else. Everyone in NY talks about how they start their day with it, but literally not a single person in LA watches it at all, and I’ve never heard anyone not from NY reference it in any way.

WTF conversation did he think they were having instead? The type of salad they’d be having for lunch? Shoe shopping?

“I don’t understand why women wear high heels, I don’t find high heels sexy at all. You should wear flats.”

Okay, see, Joe, a conversation allows more than one person to contribute, and I don’t really see you doing that.

Joe Scarborough. That Guy in every women’s studies class who has to interrupt and say some version of, “If more women used birth control, the abortion rate would go down!” over and over again.

“Let me finish,” he says, cutting her off. “Because we need to have this conversation.”

That woman’s not going to marry him. She’s already got the chin down gazing into the distance WTF look on her face I didn’t develop till Year 3. She still has time to get out.

I can’t describe the raging I did at my TV yesterday during the Senate press conference. It involved sentences like, “look-it’s an elusive woman, right there?!? Let her fucking speak!” And “No one thinks you understand sex, Eddie Munster.”

“Paparazzi would call to have her truck towed, all so that they could photograph her looking harried when she ran outside to stop it. Believe me, it pains me to say this as someone who’s firmly Team Nancy, but Harding doesn’t deserve this.” How is that not a crime?

I saw the preview to this at the theater last week and I was left really confused. I couldn’t understand why “funny” would be a tone this movie would take up at all. What is funny about that whole mess????

I always felt bad for Tonya, though she did make some of her own “bad luck”. One of the (lesser) unfortunate outcomes of the whole Tonya/Nancy thing was that it sort of anointed Nancy as this sweet, smiling Ice Princess. She was not sweet. Not even one little bit.

I am so sad to hear that this isn’t a more understanding treatment of her story. I’m not exactly Team Tonya, but I’m definitely not Team Nancy and I think Tonya deserves a revisionist telling of her story that acknowledges her achievement in the face of serious disadvantage and abuse.

I loved Tonya Harding then and now. I think she’s spent her entire life getting a raw deal. I’m sorry this movie isn’t about that.

A camp film about a violent attack and an abusive relationship? Ugh. Disappointing. However, I disagree with the author that Harding is “unsympathetic.” I believed her that she wasn’t in on it and her boyfriend was a selfish, controlling asshole who did it without her knowing.

Yet another example of why women need to be telling the stories for awhile.

Welcome to America, where we forever banish and mistreat those we find punishable. We turn off our brains, we fail to mitigate, we don’t care if our punishments and soul-crushing are proportionate to the crime, or whether the offender has actually served their time.
