Is that Khal Drogo Jason Momoa? And why isn’t he showing up and touching on me randomly?

Ah, Halloween, the time of insensitive celebrity costumes and shenanigans.

On one hand, women’s bodies have been scrutinized, commoditized, and violated in favor of an entitled public view for years, so I shouldn’t feel bad when it happens to a man. On the other hand, he was clearly on a private resort and just had his privacy wildly violated.

Exactly. Frankly I’m not even all that found of the common “S/He’s my man/woman.” phrasing. No, you don’t own them. You don’t have any right to control over their bodies or their relationships. You DO have a right to expect them to abide by the commitments you have agreed to. But on one can steal what you don’t own.…

The quote’s from a speech Emmeline Parkhurst, the British suffragette portrayed by Streep in the film, made, so it’s not referring to American slavery.

Half of my family is English and I’ve spent a lot of time over there and based on that perspective, thinking about it more, now I’m not sure if it’s because they actually respect the protestors or if it just would be far too embarrassing to be the first one to walk around them.

fwiw, it was a quote from a British suffragette so she probably didn’t...all Americans are rebels in British eyes ;)

It’s almost as if people respected their protest since they have a good point.

God, HBC is the shit.

“Are you going to resign?” is a pretty dick-ish question to begin with, but yeah, don’t be wombatting other reporters for rude questions.

Education = lower recidivism, certainly, but we also have to factor in that these three men took steps to apply for the program and be accepted. Their motivation is a key factor. Applying that same education to the prison population as a whole wouldn’t have the same effect.

How long before this is turned into a movie starring Chris Hemsworth, Chaning Tatum, and Zac Efron as the inmates with Leonardo DiCaprio as their coach?

Was just reading about this on Guardian. It speaks volumes on what incarcerated people can do when given an actual chance.

I don’t subscribe to the 5a. I was always just forthright and told women I had a zero tolerance no-questions-asked-it’s-over policy toward cheating. No need to not trust people because one person you dated was/is an asshole. Too much energy and life to live to waste it on stuff like 5a.

1. End relationship immediately.

Says someone who hasn’t been married for 25 years to a spouse that they deeply love with a gaggle of kids. You can’t take your life experience and think it somehow is a blanket truth about humanity and relationships for everyone, everywhere.

This. A million times this. She didn’t “steal your man”. He’s not a houseplant. He got up and went of his own volition.

THIS. Expect to burst into tears about dumb shit you never thought twice about, like mittens.

What NOT to do? Don’t be one of those women who displaces all the anger they should feel toward their partner, onto “the other woman” or, even worse, blames the other woman for the fact that their partner cheated. It’s just more bullshit that women do to let men off the hook and that lets get away with the shit they…
