    In this past year, i met 5 woman, from age 24 to 42.
    All of them got abused physically or mentally, raped, beaten, threatened, left alone with children.
    Mostly by boyfriends, husband, or family relatives.....i'm stunned....and ashamed to be a man.

    If i was in their situation, i could never trust a man anymore.
    And if you're that kind of guy, check yourself, because you're a fucking asshole.

    • I was planning on beating my woman tonight...
      Until I read your enlightening post.

    • Ape, what kind of background do those men have? From countries/ religious up-ringing where women are being more disrespected?NBQ00
    • https://youtu.be/INt…soundofreason
    • @NBQ00 Mostly Caucasian middle class men, no specific religious beliefs.ApeRobot
    • @ApeRobot
      I looks like you're hanging around the wrong circles. Middle class gang here as well and don't know anyone in that situation.

    • its fucked up how we treat people. Men also do get this - its not just women. Not to be insensitive just think its more of a psychological issue than gendermugwart
    • Raped by brother+friend at 12, fashion photographer at 21 when modelling, and 30 drugged and raped by boss on business trip. My current...shapesalad
    • ...grinds her teeth during sleeping, very anxious, panic attacks, snaps and immediately gets angry, becoming/is anorexic. Thanks guys.shapesalad
    • And yes, she's middle class. tall, beautiful, used to model, intelligent, but damaged due to other men, and me, a nice guy is now left to pick up the pieces.shapesalad
    • @soundofreason I had the same feeling until i met those woman. That is what surprised me.ApeRobot
    • @shapesalad :(ApeRobot
    • @ApeRobot
      I totally understand your concern, I would be shocked as well in your situation.
      However, I don't see it as a reason to be ashamed to be a man.

    • you should be proud to be able to "rise about" the other cunts and help her out of this.
      @shape - thats fucked up. Poor lass...

    • The PSA in your last sentence was so ridiculously naive it was funny (see Bill Burr).soundofreason
    • PSA?mugwart
    • *about is above.mugwart
    • Whoever said they dont know anyone in that situation, you definately do. People tend to hide and bury those things and it's hard to talk about.shellie
    • Even in an intimate relationship, people hate being looked at as damaged which is why especially women carry these things alone.shellie

    • oh ... no I was on the oppoiste side of this. I was abused and very neglected. I know the pain of my words and can grasp how it feels.mugwart
    • i just find it hard to express myself in these limited text field boxes.mugwart
    • was trying to express at least your aware of these issues and are prepared to try and heal the world/humans instead of being a cunt.mugwart
    • the world is full of abuse and it needs to stop (no shit Sherlock) but I feel labelling it as gender and not psychological i feel is hindering.mugwart
    • I've dated women like this, exactly as shape said, the nice guys get left picking up the pieces... it's always rough and hard to make it work out.robotron3k
    • Relationships have been for a long time, who can break whom first. sorry for the mishmash of a sentence.helloeatbreathedrive

    • Two ex's of mine were abused, both by close friends. One woke up and the guy was going at it, the other managed to get out of it (and they were both cops).formed
    • The simple fact that people support a Pres and his chumps that joke and humiliate those that have the courage to stand up and speak says volumes about theformed
    • integrity and state of the world. It shows this happens far more than us 'nice guys' ever think it could and just how many are 'ok' participating. Fucking sadformed
    • seriously. who care about the nice guy. nice guys aren't the victim. just because you know someone who went through these terrible event, doesn't make you apango

    Warning, run on sentence. If your friend or family is struggling for money, and possibly in debt, and you offer them money but they say it's ok, do you still bring over money or not?

    • never offer family money you're not willing to set on fire.imbecile
    • Based on my experience (on both giving and receiving ends) I'd say tell them to ask you if they ever really need it. Imho this is when money is best spentspl33nidoru
    • all around. And imbecile is right, a lot of the time this money doesn't come back. I've always paid my debts but years down the line sometimes.spl33nidoru
    • yes, I don't expect the money back as they never pay me backpinkfloyd

    Goddamnit why do I need to put Tapatio on everything? Last night while ripping off the corner of a Tapatio packet for optimal Mariscos enjoyment, I also ripped out my fake front tooth. A lovely reminder that I wasn't very good at gymnastics.

    Dentist visit is set for tomorrow at 8 am for a temporary fix and finally go ahead and pay for the final part of my implant installation and veneers so my teeth match. I hate going to the dentist but the painful part is done at least. But, I have to admit the few times this has happened, I get crazy anxiety about having a weird space where my tongue thinks a tooth should be. I barely slept last night.

    • Went to search what Tapatio is... and it's already in my Search history :)Nairn

    i've been having the worst past few days since i experienced stage fright and totally dropped the ball on my 2 lines in our puppet show this past weekend.. i seriously am totally depressed and am having the hardest time dealing with it. i don't know what happened up there, i just totally froze and went blank - i knew my lines but couldn't have told you my name if i tried.

    anyway.. i wish it would just rain pianos right now :`(

    Sometimes I feel like fashion designers are having a laugh on us.

    C'mon -- this $1,000 Fendi scarf is a giant pussy. Imagine someone's head coming out of that hole. And yet, I'm sure there is a line of people who would happily pay to look like an adult baby being born into an unironically cold world.

    Ugh I went to the dentist today and I have to go back tomorrow. As she tore into me I couldnt help but to think, "Do you hate me, bitch? You're doing too much."

    Tomorrow's Agenda: Lazer tissue cutting, more pokes and OWWWs before a very long day of work. The tail end of this cosmetic overhaul (restoration from injury) isnt going to be as easy breezy as I thought.

    OMG!!! QBN in dark mode, finally! Thanks to this plug-in: https://www.fastcompany.com/9025…

    It's available for free for Firefox & Chrome but it's $4.99 for Safari.

    • Only mono would pay Apple $4.99 for an a free plug-in.utopian
    • And me, because I love & use Safari as default browser.NBQ00
    • seriously utopian, can you just shut the fuck up already with the apple shit?monospaced
    • haha, Utopian 1 - Mono 0Nairn
    • Except I don’t use safari, and utopian is a troll.monospaced
    • NBQ, on the other hand, apparently did pay for it to use with Safari. That's not me.monospaced
    • This was the best $5 bucks I spent in a while. The entire web has become amazing. Not just QBN.NBQ00
    • He trolled you and you reacted, i doesn't really matter whether you use Safari or not ;)Nairn
