    I used to be in the same camp (and it’s still not for me) but it started to make more sense to me when I realized it’s kind of been a thing we’ve been doing for a while.

    There’s the well known Papi, in Spanish, but, even as far back as the 1930s in The Grapes of Wrath, you have Pa Joad refer to Ma Joad as “Ma”. Even in The Year without a Santa Clause (for a more modern but still older reference), Santa refers to Mrs. Clause as “Ma”.

    The idea of using these titles for anyone other than my own parents was not something that’s intuitive to me, at all, but clearly it’s a thing humans have been doing for (at least) a century. Not all those examples are in sexual contexts but I imagine that a nickname you have for your partner isn’t not going to end up continuing into the bedroom, at least not for everyone.

    In that context, it started to make more sense to my brain.


  • Honestly, that was the biggest difference for me, when I switched.

    A bunch of my issues I’d had on Windows just went away, overnight. And, sure, I ran into other problems; but I would’ve on Windows, too, except I can usually resolve them on Linux.

    My machine is so much more usable, just on a daily basis; and I’ve learned so much more about my computer naturally since I switched.


  • I’m using an adblocker so maybe you’re seeing something else than I am which had me misunderstand your comment (which I mostly mention because I didn’t notice any ad.s so, based off of that, maybe what what you were seeing was also different from me)? The entire piece was written by her with no other people’s opinions.

    It was a whole article entirely written by her, reflecting both on her feelings from the entire event and how it for within the other major events in both the culture and the nation (given her experience catipulted her into both). So your response hadn’t made sense since the entire thing is written by her and her thoughts about the ordeal.


  • You explicitly asked if she’s ever complained about it and were given an article written by her contemplating her feelings on it; it was directly a resource to your very question.

    She explicitly says:

    There are even some people who feel my White House experiences don’t have a place in this movement, as what transpired between Bill Clinton and myself was not sexual assault, although we now recognize that it constituted a gross abuse of power

    She, now, agrees that – whatever her desires at the time – that Bill Clinton both had an overwhelming amount of power over her as both her boss and nearly 3 decades her senior. And we got to see what that power difference could mean for her when the relationship went sour.
