See How Complicated She Is

So what if ‘they’ de-transition? Can Penny Dreadful still say she’s dated a woman? Or would that be ‘violence’?

I’ve done the ‘didn’t realize it was a date’ thing. Only once. 🙂

Pretty sure she’s misgendering her exes/culturally appropriating lesbianism there. If they didn’t identify as women, they weren’t women, isn’t that the *cough* logic?
Alternatively, our intrepid reporter won’t be able to know her own sexuality until her last ex has died, just in case of deathbed transitions.

Suggestions: The Spy is a new Netflix series. Enjoying it so far.
New Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime soon. The first season was brilliant.

I’d say there’s something wrong with your social circles and/or your dating choies if it turns out that half the men you dated are now going around saying they’re women.
But then I don’t live in Guardian world.

Ta.

I assume you’ve seen Dark, and Vikings?

Oh, I can do Laurie one better. When I was a teenager I dated a lot of women who didn’t realize that they even existed. And yet even others who didn’t realize that I existed. Or at least existed in the context in which I dated them. Uber woke or TMI? Or perhaps woke isn’t the word…No one told me that the 21st century would be so confusing.

Just finished binging Man in the High Tower, a bit facile, but I couldn’t stop watching.

Speaking of dating dramas.
From the comments there:
“Oh Noes! Hot young men aren’t prepared to commit themselves legally, financially and emotionally to me and provided for my children”
That summarizes the problem many women are complaining about much better than I could have.
I am definitely stealing it.

three months after I’d broken up with her she attempted to pay her utilities from my account.
Looks like SumDumGuy is currently in the lead in our Dating Horror Stories competition. I’d better think of a prize.
Remember, don’t spare those sordid and humiliating details.

She had the gall to call me an asshole… because I wouldn’t let her steal from me.
Sounds like a story well-suited for Reddit’s r/choosingbeggars.

David – as requested – just finished watching Unbelievable on Netflix. Having worked with teen foster kids, it was heartbreaking to see what the first rape victim went through and at every turn, adults that should have been protecting her (and often were paid to do so, such as social workers, counselors etc.) didn’t. She was thrown into the trash heap by ‘friends’, foster mums, police, social workers, counsellors, etc. But it does have a ‘happy’ ending.

Worse, three months after I’d broken up with her she attempted to pay her utilities from my account.
A friend had something similar. His girlfriend went up north to care for ailing mother, and help at the bed&breakfast that said mother owned and ran. The mother recovered, but the girlfriend stayed. And stayed.
After several months of this, friend asks girl “are you coming back, or what?”. She comes back, borrows his credit card, and buys stuff for the B&B on it, and then heads back up north.
“Well, at least that’s over”, friend says.
Well, no.
When girlfriend borrowed his credit card, she went into a vendor run by a friend. This was the 1990s, when Visa cards were run though those carbon-copy machines. You put the card in the machine, swiped left to put the vendor imprint on the receipt, and then right to put card imprint. Girlfriend takes a dozen or so empty receipts, skips the vendor imprint, and imprints friend’s card.
Three months after they split up, he starts getting charges from the B&B on his credit card. She’d taken the carbon slips with his imprint, and then put it in the B&B’s visa imprinter to complete a transaction, charged to him.
When he cancelled the card, and the credit card companies started to investigate the B&B, girlfriend’s family of course blamed him for their woes, and said it was a good thing that girlfriend had broken up with him since he was such as asshole.
That was the first official word he’d heard that they were broken up, by the way. Despite the fact that she’d been gone for over six months at this point, and hadn’t called or written to him, as far as he knew, they were still officially together.
Not that he was a total fool. He changed the locks when he cancelled his cards. This turned out to be a good thing, as a few months later, his landlord informed him that she had shown up on the landlord’s doorstep complaining that her key didn’t work any more, and the landlord had to let her in. No news as to whether there was a loading van parked outside to clean out friend’s apartment or not, but I have my suspicions.
Sadly, I have another friend who has a similar story, but actually worse than this…

Here’s a story. It’s a bit controversial. I dated a woman. A real one. We were engaged 6 weeks later. We then (prepare for a shock) got married. Now prepare for another shock………….we are still married to each other after 37 years. Now that’s a really amazing story is it not?

David, you could try Tall Girl on Netflix if empathizing with the agonizing and frankly terrifying oppression experienced by a middle-class 16 year old American girl who’s – sit down for this – 6 foot and 1 inch tall (1.85 EU-approved meters) is your bag.

Sounds like a story well-suited for Reddit’s r/choosingbeggars.
I hadn’t seen that one. My current examplar of entitled douches is the 16 year old who was given a BMW for his 16th birthday, and drove it into a river because he wanted a Jaguar, instead.
I knew he wasn’t the most entitled git on the planet, but even I am somewhat disappointed at the amount of competition in that subreddit.

“I’m a half-Jewish radical feminist.”
Is “half-Jewish” a race, a religion, or a sandwich?

RE: BMW bad! Jaguar good!
We once got a perfectly good Irish Setter from a wealthy family whose teen daughter demanded that they get rid of the Irish Setter and buy her a Labradoodle, which was the fashionable dog that year. Another friend who bred and trained show horses told us about parents who expected a money-back guarantee that their daughter would win the state hunter/jumper title if they bought a horse from her.

I recommend ‘Justified’ which can be streamed on Amazon Prime.

Was that meant to be a rye comment?
Oof, that’s a bit on the nose.

No, please. Take a seat.

Their son’s “activist” lifestyle seems an odd way of saying thanks.
That.

According to the one tweet I saw about this…
If you watch the Andy Ngo video in David’s post linked to above you will see the woman and her husband are obstructed by 3 people. One of the people, the man in the black balaclava and orange t-shirt has been identified as Alsoufi. He doesn’t push or touch anyone in the video but he does obstruct the couple and he does close ranks with the other “protestors” who are screaming “Nazi Scum” as the couple tries to move forward.
There is a video out there showing Alsoufi “protesting” at other Antifa and LGQBT events, mostly unmasked. I can’t find the link at the moment.

By the way pst314 your last “challa out loud” comment didn’t cut the mustard. ;-p
