““When I was about 20 years old, I met an old pastor’s wife who told me that when she was young and had her first child, she didn’t believe in striking children, although spanking kids with a switch pulled from a tree was standard punishment at the time. But one day, when her son was four or five, he did something that she felt warranted a spanking–the first in his life. She told him that he would have to go outside himself and find a switch for her to hit him with. The boy was gone a long time. And when he came back in, he was crying. He said to her, “Mama, I couldn’t find a switch, but here’s a rock that you can throw at me.” All of a sudden the mother understood how the situation felt from the child’s point of view: that if my mother wants to hurt me, then it makes no difference what she does it with; she might as well do it with a stone. And the mother took the boy into her lap and they both cried. Then she laid the rock on a shelf in the kitchen to remind herself forever: never violence. And that is something I think everyone should keep in mind. Because if violence begins in the nursery one can raise children into violence.””

I would still be proud of her if this was exactly what happened, because fuck that guy, but that’s not even how things went down. This creep was taking a picture of her, she approached him to confront him about it, and HER OWN security team kind of escorted her away from him. Then the club management came up to him and told him to delete the pictures, so HE left. Like, this is in his own words, because for some reason he thinks this story makes the young woman being photographed without her consent look bad.
In conclusion, the media needs to leave Malia the fuck alone. She’s taking a gap year before going to fucking Harvard, she can party as hard as she damn well pleases.

pros of being an adult: freedom to do whatever you want
cons of being an adult: you don’t have the money to do whatever you want
God, listening to John Mulaney talk about doing hard fucking drugs in his youth is like hearing a nun reminisce on her last orgy before she converted. What do you mean you didn’t come out of the womb with a fatherly demeanor and crippling anxiety?
