@PEARLfectChassi Exactly. And he's only called a "good father" by the public because he sends money. Our whole society has decided that motherhood = parenting and fatherhood = payment.

@BriannaWu The world changed and a lot of people didn't change with it. Many men were raised with the concept that all they needed was a penis and a paycheck and they were guaranteed "love". Everything changed and they didn't get the memo that more was required of them.

@realtoddbillion There's nothing wrong with what she wants. There's nothing wrong with what he wants. There's something wrong with each being with someone who doesn't want the same thing. Go find someone who shares your views and be happy instead of trying to change the views of who you're with

@DraftGeneral69 @JohnathanPerk This is terrible advice. If you're being questioned, it's because they think there's a strong possibility you did it. They'll twist anything you say to lock you up and mark that crime solved. You might beat the charges after 1yr and losing your job, housing, partner, and freedom.

@GordonGekko_CVP @ladyblovebytes I guess I know that if men learned to control themselves and not go around raping women, then they wouldn't have to force women to change everything about themselves to avoid being raped. But it's a lot easier to just forcibly control someone else than to be a decent person

@SupernovaMomma Too many people think they're deserving of respect because they managed to not die within their first 50 years on earth. They have to brashly demand it because they don't operate in a way where anyone wants to willingly display it towards them.

@TiphSeven Trust me, we lawyers have been armchair quarterbacking this whole thing. His lawyer has been making one mistake after another. How Marvel hasn't forced him to fire her and use a team of their choosing, I'll never know.
