Yeah this is a three-part disaster: socially conditioned male entitlement, no real system for adequately treating our mentally ill citizens, and far too lax gun laws.

A former girlfriend told the Wisconsin State Journal that O’Kroley had tried to commit suicide in 2014, and that he has been seriously mentally ill for the past decade.

Work-life balance only became a thing when women flooded the workplace.

On one hand you’re saying that you feel judged for having a “crazy” life and on the other hand you are judging people by saying their choice to remain childfree is not normal and sad?

What’s sad is that in the US we are so jazzed about a ONE WEEK vacation while elsewhere in the world people take 3-6 weeks off at a time. :(

“With amnesia,” he said, “you have no past. Your name could be Refrigerator. This is about ultimate possibility.”

It’ll put hair on your fetus.

It all boils down to “they shouldn’t be having sex.” Always.

Yeah, I should totally “chill” that my financially irresponsible mother, now nearing 70, still has no savings, health problems that are increasing, a car on its last legs and a house that needs a new roof. I’m sorry it’s not very chill of me, but some people have irresponsible parents and then have to take care of…

I’m tired of this purgatory but I don’t want her dead.

Thank you! It’s good to hear from someone who’s come out of it on the other side. I’ll definitely look into finding a support group. It took me this long to finally realize it was progressively getting worse and I was turning into someone I didn’t want to be, but now that the decision has been made I don’t want to…

Ugh, family can be so useless sometimes. Glad Jez can be an outlet for you!

Thank you. Someone mentioned a support group and I’ll have to look into it. Even talking about it here feels liberating. Getting all of it off my chest just by talking about it. I didn’t go into detail about it with my family because it’s very embarrassing but they know he’s been violent towards me and somehow still…

You need to be honest with yourself. Is the dude at all a scrub? My sister knew her ex was a fucking scrub when she moved in with him. I knew him before she met him. Scrub. She was too proud to admit it though, ended up having the pleasure of paying fuckboy’s rent and bills while they were together. Ended up paying…

I am not single. However I just realized that though it may feel otherwise there is a shit ton of us that aren’t single and do not celebrate v-day because it’s ridiculous and who has time for that shit when you’ve been together for years and you are together all the fucking time. I mean I used to insist on celebrating…

“Ambition” is a must for me in a serious mate (during the rare times I’m actually interested in having a serious mate). But “ambition” here doesn’t mean “I want to reach the top of the corporate heap, destroy my competitors, and make a fuckload of money.” It’s more “I want to learn new things, to continue to improve…

I’m not sure it’s true that women want someone who is ambitious and financially secure. In the past that may have been true when we had little means of becoming financially independent. But now, at least, most of my female friends and myself look for a man who will treat us as an equal and support us emotionally.…

No, going to a doctor won’t fix everything but if the doctor can’t solve it, or your doctor is an asshole, you go to another doctor, you don’t shove a tea bag full of twigs up your vag.

For fuck’s sake, stop defending ignorance.
