I think it's a fine lesson, but not sarcastically
"Why is it humiliating that she doesn’t answer? Why is it her fault that he is humiliated? “You made me feel like shit,” he tells her. Why is she responsible for his feelings? That’s a fine lesson to treat your children – that it’s their fault if you’re upset, and their responsibility to make you happy.
Yeah, just because I act like an asshole, why am I responsible for your feeling like shit?
Psychology tells us that my shitty crapulent behavior is NOT what makes you mad. You are responsible for your feelings, not me.
I can forget to pay the bills, forget to pick you up, yell at you, cum and forget about your orgasm, demean your family, call you ugly and fat, but guess what, I didn't make you mad. I am not responsible for making you happy.
Thank you "psychology", junk science.
Maybe Some of These Men
Who are so envious of women and all our freedoms might ought to look into gender reassignment surgery if they really feel so persecuted because of their penis.
That's really funny considering how many feminists hate male to female transexuals and have advocated discrimination against them.
The real feminists are beyond NARAL.
You should see what the true feminists in the blogosphere have to say about NARAL. Feminists like those at Fire Dog Lake that have helped society, helped women, and work to keep abortion safe, legal, and rare.
They will tell you how NARAL's one issue agenda works against their cause. And how NARAL endorses idiots that actually vote against abortion, and then how NARAL sends out letters asking for money.
You should consider blogrolling some real feminists.
Those ain't natural busts.
can expect others can do.
Tina R with the one year old who knows she doesn't have a bone in her body that could let her yell at her children and so can judge that Baldwin and anybody else's behavior is just unforgivable.
I truly hope you and your one year old have wonderful yell free lives. I just doubt your ability to know yourself so well and your capability to judge other people's marriages or parenting experiences.
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you
This is effective therapy:

Most of the other therapies are junk science.
(golf clap to tina with the one year old who is another judgmental parenting expert.)
We can't say anything about anyone now based on race, creed, color, religion, gender, gender identification, age, veteran status, amount of obesity, mental acuity, mental intelligence, veteran status, country of origin, regional dialect, regional affiliation, ....
We have to make sure people have a "safe environment". We cannot allow ourselves to create a "hostile environment."
And it is very important that people do not judge us, though it is perfectly fine for us to judge others, and tell them, upon pain of force (police, CPS, ...) exactly what they are doing wrong.
And where did this come from?
Sorry, but it came directly from feminism and from the junk science of psychology. And it came from lawyers and judges eager to cede common sense to a feminist/psychological agenda and industry.
We are lucky though. There is one group of people that we are allowed to make fun of, and even encouraged to make fun of. We can discriminate against them. We can seize their property and remove their rights without due process. We can sever their relationships with their family. We can take away their free speech and make sure they cannot tell people about their points of view.
But some health problems are related to behavior -- not to biological differences. Thus, suggesting that it is inherently more dangerous to be born female seems off target.
Health problems related to women fucking around, health problems related to women drinking alone in bars, health problems related to women seeking out abusers, health problems related to women disdaining the "nice guy" and then blaming men for that, health problems related to women seeking abortions when they should instead have not been fucking, health problems related to women constantly nagging men...
Yes, it's about time people started worrying about their own risky behaviors instead of demanding risky behaviors as some sort of right and asking society to pay for them and asking society to oppress others.
See, just wanted you guys to see that I could agree with your point of view.
