Remember when that horrible case came out of the football players drugging, raping and filming a girl they had drugged?

My youngest son was in early HS at the time. I told him about it while driving him from band practice.

His response: "That's disgusting."

I love my kids.

"YOU are the son AND grandson of GENTLEMEN. You have inherited that legacy. DO NOT forget that - OR bring shame upon them."

He hasn't disappointed me.

She's going to buy her son a video camera? Yeah, that's a brilliant idea. Nothing says "I'm not a creep" like asking a girl if you can videotape your encounter so she can't accuse you of rape. That's a real turn-on.

I don't know any 25 year old women who wear this much makeup.
Especially ... eyebrows? Looks suspicious AF.

Just sayin'


On edit: I'm talking about the photo of Laura Loomer, but maybe she has a reason to post a fake photo (?) so she can't be traced in real life. (I don't know and don't care)

However, I know none who are that bad with it. That woman (there's too much space between the crease of her eyelids and her eyebrows for her to be a guy) is in DIRE need of a beauty lesson.

and I can't say I was able to tell the religion of any of my cab drivers - except the one who had a rosary hanging in the cab, I'm pretty sure he wasn't Muslim.

Of course, I wasn't really thinking about it.

11. I have three sons.

I asked the oldest if he felt that white men were under attack. He said yes. He said that he and everybody else in the country are under attack by the Republicans. Other than that, no. He sounded mildly exasperated.

My next oldest son fills his Facebook feed with posts that say things like "coercion is not consent" and "I believe her. I believe you."

Our youngest is still a teen. I see no evidence of disrespect for women.

It's not rocket science. Respect people. Don't attack them.
