How can it take such a supreme effort to just get through the day ?
Is that your fault ?
I'm sure you help more than you hinder. Sounds like there's a lot more at work there.
I can tell you this : Seeing my ex-wife this weekend at our daughter's funeral, I know for a fact she's not nearly as happy as she once was, despite being with a guy I found out after the fact that she'd always had a crush on.

Sorry shax. It seems like if you abused her or cheated on her, you wouldn't have any problems. I honestly think I'd be treated EXACTLY the same if I did either of those things. I did neither of those things to my ex, and I think that made her even more angry. Looking back, I'm pretty sure she was saying everything she could think of to make me as mad as possible so I'd strike her, and then I'd be the bad guy, and she'd be justified in divorcing me. |

As a follow up to this...the college had denied Miss Schulz's request to ban the books in question or to alter the course syllabus.... CBR articleThe statement by Cheryl A. Marshall, university president... In a way I wish they had been less diplomatic in their response and not added the disclaimer to the syllabus int he future, as it feels like bowing to pressure, but at least they stood their ground on keeping the class and the books, and not giving in the the ridiculous request to get off the hook form a student who didn't do her due diligence when signing up for classes. -M |

Her parents supported her and did say they would not have adopted this course of action if 'content warning' was given in advance. Not everyone wants to 'innocently' open a GN and see straight women engage in hot lesbian sex in Y: The Last Man. If I posted pages like that here I'd probably get a pm from a mod. |

She had several weeks from the time she enrolled and got the syllabus until the drop/add period ended to preview material if she chose to and determine if she found it objectionable and to drop the course if she did. She made a choice not to, so that is on her, not on the university or the professor. If it had been Lolita, Catcher in the Rye, A Clockwork Orange, or Huck Finn or another prose book, and she found it objectionable because of language, violence, or sexual content, no one would bat an eye as those are part of the "western curriculum" and if she was trying to use the same argument, people would be like, you had the chance, the content was there to check out, too bad for you. But because it's comics, and not prose, suddenly the same type of content in the same academic setting is objectionable? I don't think so. It more sounds like a student caught failing a course and trying to find any way to get out of it and out of mommy and daddy's doghouse , so they draw on mommy and daddy's conservative views to build an excuse and get them to go from "what they hell are you doing failing a course we are paying for" to "oh my god what kind of stuff are you exposing my daughter to" to move the blame from her and get her off the hook. I've seen it done a few dozen times by students at all levels. If they can shift the blame by calling foul on someone else when their lack of responsibility catches up with them, they will. -M |

Hello from Japan. Been a long couple days and I'm quite tired.
But I'm quite enjoying myself.
And I take comfort in knowing that if a monster attacks, somebody in a giant robot suit will probably protect me.
