"You come up to her, plug your device in, and you suck her power out."

That is not what happens. That is a highly editorialized description of what happens. Here's a more accurate version:
1) You are at an art festival where enterprising artists take the initiative to set up exhibits for festival goers.
2) You walk past…

I think you are being stupid. It is not unfair to expect social condemnation of domestic abuse and social commendation for a lack thereof. That is in fact precisely what fairness is about.

There's nothing passive about putting a battery pack in your vagina and soliciting strangers to plug their phones into it.

The commentary is that it is the extreme level of dependence that makes this performance intelligible. By showing that technology can be located inside the body like this in ways not previously technologically feasible or widely understandable, she's showing the point to which we have invested certain pieces of…

Yeah but it's not all that relevant to men. It's relevant to women who beat their families though.

What about the fact that anyone becoming a proponent of a particular social history and truth lends that history and truth greater legitimacy in society? Do you see a better definition of legitimacy for theories of society wide social phenomena than popularity? How many constructions of the world do you lend…

"Intentionally or not, you seem to want to hold her accountable as an irredeemable abuser because you didn't lash out under similar duress."

No I don't.

"Or at the very least want contrition for not being as good as you were."

Of course I do. She beat her family. I didn't.

Good thing I don't need to convince you of anything.

I didn't say that. I was responding to the assertion that being young and in a lot of pain is a necessary and sufficient description of the precursors to abusive physical violence. I offered the fact that they were not sufficient factors to lead me to be physically abusive towards my family.

The fact that you quoted…

I don't understand what you're trying to say here.

I was young and in a lot of pain, and I worked hard to overcome it, and I didn't beat anyone along the way.

I am so relieved that someone regular here sees this. Not thankful, just relieved, because I was really feeling the urge to bang my head against something hard but well padded.

Yeah, but he's in control of HIS masculinity narrative, and it's a lot more representative than Suz's.

Thank you for writing this Chuck. People are not going to hear what you are saying, as Callahan has already misread you below. Just because the abuse in Suz's life was extremely gendered does not mean that gender caused her abuse. Many people have gendered lives that are extremely nice for them. More often it is men…

You're not listening to him Callahan. Chuck isn't saying he's not privileged. He's saying he's very privileged. And he liked it. And it wasn't toxic for him growing up, and he's pretty chilled out about stuff and is aok with the way patriarchy has treated him. He's felt able to be himself even if that was different…

She's absolutely shirking from identifying the harm she caused. She barely mentions it, and doesn't describe it in any detail. She doesn't humanize her victims at all, because then there'd be more than just this one comment talking about how much they hate her.

EVERYONE SQUINT AS HARD AS YOU CAN AND GUESSTIMATE RACE.

It is so wednesday up in here ("here" being my head)

"It's your thumbnail pic, for some reason it makes you look like a white girl."

Not to me. Dunno if "how black is her thumbnail pic" is really a valuable topic of discussion though.

But the divide was greater than that shown by the sample without job authority

"While the study found that women without job authority exhibited slightly more depressive symptoms than men without job authority, it also found that women with the ability to hire, fire and influence pay exhibited far more symptoms of…

But you know what's funny? It's not a Commercial Advertisement. It's a personal advertisement. It's your friend telling her friend that she'd love you if you met. Except "meeting" here means tapping on her pictures and writing text below them. Which she really wants. For some reason. And her Aunt really likes that…
