Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

Ah you arent stupid. If you weren't upset you would be pretty heartless.
I know what you mean though, I'm trying to help a friend through an awful situation, I'm so angry she's in that situation but my anger doesn't change anything and doesn't help her. It's hard to know how to manage it.

thanks Quentin
I just feel stupid, wailing about her suffering is so pointless and doesn't help her.

I really am going to get on with my stuff now...thanks for understanding.

Oh river I'm so sorry Flowers of course it's ok to be that upset that someone you love is suffering

okay, as it's bar, am I allowed a very selfish moment?

I found out late last night that one of my friends is very very ill. I cried so much my face still hurts. Of course this isn't about me and when I see her I will be completely "normal" or however she needs me to be.

but I wanted a self indulgent rant to say, wow, who knew you could hurt your face that much from crying....and how awful is it when someone you love gets a horrible illness and you can't do anything remotely helpful or stop their suffering.

It sucks so much. Sad

now I must get my home, my face and general mental state in order for Mother's Day tomorrow i.e. must pull self together.

I need a NC too
Just been reading today's Ulster rape news. Itching to discuss it on here. I'm going to have to start writing it all down ready for after the verdict. It is worth looking at Frank Greaneys Twitter for updates
