Minus all the money you don’t have to spend on food because your man is paying.
Plus the judgement from the man. And then never mind the women who pay for their own and then are accused of insulting his masculinity if we don’t let him buy.
Or the women who don’t have a man at all.
But yeah, good job there buddy.
Y’all need to move to canada. Ive never had to pay for a papsmear, ive never had a uti or yeast infection or needed emergency contraception. BC is only like 30 bucks a month for most pills and the patch (thats without insurance) and you can even get the pill for like 10 bucks month

“
A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”
He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.
The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

Oh, you mean treating them like HUMAN BEINGS actually works? No shit, Sherlock. So glad they’re doing this!

Saw this on a Facebook page.
Here’s my 5 simple ways to “affair-proof” your marriage:
- Don’t sleep with anyone but your spouse.
- Don’t have sexual relations with anyone but the person you’re married to.
- If the person in your bed isn’t your husband or wife, don’t have sex with them.
- If someone other than your husband or wife makes advances on you, tell them no or ignore them.
- Don’t “get it on” with anyone other than the person you said “I do” to.
THAT FUCKING SIMPLE.
Poor girl. Breaks my heart what she went through so young.
This was so sad. :(
The full documentary is eye opening. This resulted because she experienced extreme abuse and neglect. After several years of hard work she changed into what we would see as a normal child.
I’be watched this a while ago and it was heart wrenching. Imagine if she didn’t get the help she needed though, I think she would have become a very angry adult who most likely would have shown more disturbing behaviour.
Uhm the child tried to kill her adobted mother and her brother. They had to lock her in her room every night. The child had no sense of good or evil and would lie to you as calmly as state the sky was blue.

So, I saw this on confessionsofamadmumblr today:
Ironically, I usually rather quite like both of the admins that responded, but it makes my stomach turn that these girls help run this blog. I was like “What? No way! How can they support this? I can’t even—-“ It just…
THIS IS THE ONLY WOMAN WHO CAN STAND NEXT TO BEYONCE AND STILL BE THE MOST FABULOUS PERSON IN THE ROOM

The Problem with 'Boys Will Be Boys'
For months, every morning when my daughter was in preschool, I watched her construct an elaborate castle out of blocks, colorful plastic discs, bits of rope, ribbons and feathers, only to have the same little boy gleefully destroy it within seconds of its completion.
No matter how many times he did it, his parents never swooped in BEFORE the morning’s live 3-D reenactment of “Invasion of AstroMonster.” This is what they’d say repeatedly:
“You know! Boys will be boys!”
“He’s just going through a phase!”
“He’s such a boy! He LOVES destroying things!”
“Oh my god! Girls and boys are SO different!”
“He. Just. Can’t. Help himself!”
I tried to teach my daughter how to stop this from happening. She asked him politely not to do it. We talked about some things she might do. She moved where she built. She stood in his way. She built a stronger foundation to the castle, so that, if he did get to it, she wouldn’t have to rebuild the whole thing. In the meantime, I imagine his parents thinking, “What red-blooded boy wouldn’t knock it down?”
She built a beautiful, glittery castle in a public space.
It was so tempting.
He just couldn’t control himself and, being a boy, had violent inclinations.
She had to keep her building safe.
Her consent didn’t matter. Besides, it’s not like she made a big fuss when he knocked it down. It wasn’t a “legitimate” knocking over if she didn’t throw a tantrum.
His desire — for power, destruction, control, whatever- - was understandable.
Maybe she “shouldn’t have gone to preschool” at all. OR, better if she just kept her building activities to home.
I know it’s a lurid metaphor, but I taught my daughter the preschool block precursor of don’t “get raped” and this child, Boy #1, did not learn the preschool equivalent of “don’t rape.”
Not once did his parents talk to him about invading another person’s space and claiming for his own purposes something that was not his to claim. Respect for her and her work and words was not something he was learning. How much of the boy’s behavior in coming years would be excused in these ways, be calibrated to meet these expectations and enforce the “rules” his parents kept repeating?
There was another boy who, similarly, decided to knock down her castle one day. When he did it his mother took him in hand, explained to him that it was not his to destroy, asked him how he thought my daughter felt after working so hard on her building and walked over with him so he could apologize. That probably wasn’t much fun for him, but he did not do it again.
There was a third child. He was really smart. He asked if he could knock her building down. She, beneficent ruler of all pre-circle-time castle construction, said yes… but only after she was done building it and said it was OK. They worked out a plan together and eventually he started building things with her and they would both knock the thing down with unadulterated joy. You can’t make this stuff up.
Take each of these three boys and consider what he might do when he’s older, say, at college, drunk at a party, mad at an ex-girlfriend who rebuffs him and uses words that she expects will be meaningful and respecte, “No, I don’t want to. Stop. Leave.”
The “overarching attitudinal characteristic” of abusive men is entitlement
YES. This is why I’m so big on consent for kids and not doing things against their consent!
this is everything.
