As a future teacher, I started seeing every criminal through the eyes of a well-meaning educator. "What must have gone wrong in their home? What could have been done differently?" It's nice, because in some way, I can for example understand the kids who bullied me at school to a certain extent. But it's also…

My father once complained about gay only clubs. "And they always claim we're discriminating against them! What if I opened a club that said 'only for heteros'?" He completely didn't get how minorities usually feel unwelcome in majority-centered locations and need their own safe places.

Reading this reminds me I wanted to take self-defense classes.

Way to blame the victim here. Do you have any idea how damaging it is to have such messages ingrained into you? She was a teenager, for crying out loud.

Thank you!!!

Seriously! My boyfriend is somewhat Asperger-ish (at least that's what he says, I think he's just a normal, sweet, somewhat dorky guy) and now my family thinks I'm dating the devil.

You told your husband he needed to find someone else? ;)

"have you ever had the walls of your vagina penetrated?"

But... but... women approaching men instead of demurely waiting until they are approached are whores!

While he is clearly way too obsessed with sex and having a "pleasurable life", his stepmother is feeding into this obsession with cruel comments. Seriously, which mother brags about her child losing his virginity early? What kind of accomplishment is that supposed to be?

You're. Welcome.

Apparently, their church wants you to starve and live in the streets. Great publicity, huh?

Not even straight dudes raised in Britain?

Maybe the next time you witness that happening, try to help?

Unrelated, but: Gilmore Girls!

Who names their kid LaLa?
