It's believed that 1 in 5 women have been sexually assaulted, while they receive all the blame from friends, family, and the legal system if they did anything other than dress like an Amish woman and violently fight back against their rapist.

I'd bet more than 20% of women have been sexually violated in one way or another by men. More like 90%.

I see, thanks. And yeah, as soon as you talk about your assault lovely people immediately start trying to minimize it and try to place blame on you. 0/10 experience. Chomp8645 posted:lol as soon as whoever said "listen, nobody was saying women have to live in fear from the rape beasts around every corner" I was thinking to myself: uh... there definitely are people itt who will take that exact position unironically. If we live in constant fear of evil men and being attacked then we’ll never get on with our lives. Everyone suffers risk, but we still have to go on. If anyone suggests otherwise then they’re advocating for women to let our emotions to collapse our lives, but that’s just not feasible. We can’t allow fear to dictate how we live, y’know?

Fatkraken posted:Honestly mum in the kitten drowning story is the rear end in a top hat, if wife was too young to even remember the incident then she was far too young to be trusted with kittens unsupervised, or indeed to truly understand that it was possible to hurt them. Mum is just displacing her own guilt at letting the kittens be killed by a child incapable of knowing what she was doing by hating on the kid and never realising that's what she was doing. This but honestly it also sounds like something his mom made up so she wouldn't seem insane for hating his wife for no reason. Even if it's true she's still insane for holding a grudge against a young child for decades though.

So yeah, it is in fact enough to never have to work again (or at least to never need to work full-time again). It's just that most people who get close to having that much money have a distorted perception of what's normal that involves spending the median income on private school for their children, etc. Taima posted:Don't stop, you're doing god's work, and you're funny.

Ytlaya posted:...it's enough to translate to a yearly income of $40-50k a year for the rest of someone's life, which is more than most people make. It is absolutely not that without significant sequence of returns risk, which just increases with duration. Try more like $32-35k a year safely in perpetuity. Yes, this percentage has been extensively backtested by multiple researchers. So in the "a million dollars isn't what is used to be" line of thought, what is being said is that $1m provides income that gets you less than $10k over the federal poverty line for a family of four, where in the "olden days" of the 40's you would be in the top .3% (number made up, but you get my point). Keep scaling down per decade. Yes, it's more money then most people will every have at any single point in their life, but it's mark as being "wealthy" has eroded a lot in a day where apartments in SF and NYC are often more than $1m. Inflation is a thing.

AITA for not allowing my niece to use "promised" money from my grandma's estate to go to college? My family is derisively calling me "Scott's Tots" in order to get me to bend and give in, and it's sort of working. So how do I begin with this. I am 26 and shortly before my grandma died last year she changed me to the executor of her estate. My grandma became enraged (rightly or wrongly) at my mom, aunts and uncle and basically at the 11th hour rewrote her considerable estate go to my generation (myself, sister and cousins) and one great grandkid (who I call niece because I truly don't understand all the "removed" stuff) so split evenly 6 ways. The condition was if the person was not through college, their share had to be spent on education first, otherwise I would keep it in a trust until they turned 27. The stipulation was as well that the person had to have a 3.5 gpa to get it for school, if not they had to get their grades up or wait until 27 (I really hope this is making sense). Basically under no circumstances do any of the cousins or great grand kid not get their money or do I get to keep it long term. My cousin and her daughter (niece to me) came asking me for the money so she can make payments to University of Arizona so she can start next week. Either they didn't know or didn't care about the GPA requirement because when I asked to see her report card from her last semester it showed me she all but failed her last semester. I don't even know how she graduated because she had something like a 1.2 GPA. I asked her how she got into UofA and she said she didn't really know or care, she just was ready to get to school to party. I basically said no, that this was not even remotely the stipulations of my Grandma's will and that I will be happy to give her the money for the spring semester if she gets her grades up to a 3.5 this fall. That's when all hell broke loose. My mom, aunts and uncle already see me as a target because they are resentful of being written out of the will. My sister and one cousin are fine because they've already gotten their share but my other 2 cousins and niece have started circulating emails that I'm running my own version of "Scott's Tots" because I taking away money that was promised for education. There's also an undertone that I'm keeping the other 3 peoples money so I can save it for myself if they don't go to college. No amount of explanation is helping. I've tried to tell them that under no circumstances can I keep their shares. IF they don't go to school, they get the money when they turn 27, no questions asked. No one wants to hear this from me and everyone wants me to give my niece the money independent of her grades (and I imagine my other two cousins will see this as precedent so they get their money well before they turn 27). There is really nothing stopping me from doing it. I write all the checks from the trust and while it may not be in line with the will, no one is really going to question what I'm doing. I have to admit all the pressure is getting to me, especially the Scott's Tots thing because I don't want to be seen like that. Would I be the rear end in a top hat if I withhold my niece's money for school until she gets her grades up?

AITA I shamed my husband for eating tots? My family is on a very tight budget tight now, and I do all of the grocery shopping/budgeting for family expenses. My husband and I have had arguments in the past when I get pissed at him for tapping into "luxury items" that I had purchased for a planned meal/special treat for the kids. Sometimes I hide food so he doesn't get into it, so I don't have to police the food stash. This really pissess him off so we agreed to stop doing it. At this time we agreed to check in/assume food was purchased with a reason and to maintain open dialogue around the food. So the incident: few nights ago husband and I are hanging out. Husband grabs bag of tots out of freezer and starts heating up oven. We both see each other seeing this happen. I say nothing, but am instantly pretty peeved because I bought those with the intention of having them with dinner after kids first day of school. The tots cook. The tots get flipped. The tots get taken out of the oven. At this point I can't hold back, "you know, I bought those for [kids names] first day of school." He says I should have told him that at first, and it was bitchy to make him feel guilty after they were already cooked. I say he should have asked from the start and not put me in a position where I had to nag. It lead to a huge fight, granted, partially over other things. But even a few days later neither of us have changed our minds over the "you should have asked" VS "you should have said something" and I'm still really mad about it. EDIT I'm seeing pretty clearly now that this was passive aggressive on my part, and think it's def YTA, with possibly a little bit ESH. Direct communication is often a huge struggle for me ( lots of underlying issues there...). It's oddly therapeutic to get feedback from the internet that ur an ahole.
