a man in a purple shirt says he 's sadistic in white letters ALT: a man in a purple shirt says he 's sadistic in white letters

Perhaps more perverse?
My first idea was *exactly* #Stalin
but #Trump is a #sadist #rapist #pedo who ENJOYS #shaming & #belittling

He ENJOYS WATCHING the struggle in #shoes 💢TOO SMALL THEY HURT💢, or the shameful shuffling of ‘being in #Daddy’s shoes’

Wife has a mic-drop comeback after husband introduces her to coworkers as 'The Housewife' What started as a pleasant social evening quickly took a negative turn. A husband invited some new coworkers over for dinner and instead of properly introducing his wife, he made a sexist joke that she felt _was belittling._ The wife, who goes by the name Sadie on Reddit, shared the story on the _AITA forum_ to ask if she responded correctly. **Spoiler alert:** Yes, she did. “My _husband invited_ his new coworkers over for dinner. When they arrived, he introduced me by gesturing at me and saying, ‘This is Mrs. Smith (he didn't even say my name)...the housewife!'" Sadie revealed. “I looked at him for a second, then I started laughing hysterically,” Sadie continued. “I then said, ‘No, honey, I work full time, and YES I still act like a housewife when I'm home because you simply can't bother to help.’” After Sadie’s remark, the guests stared at the husband, who tried to laugh it off and then changed the subject by asking them if they wanted a drink. The rest of the dinner was awkward, with the husband and wife exchanging angry glances. After the guests left, the husband blew up at Sadie, saying that she laughed like a “lunatic” and that she ruined “his image.” Husband fussing at wife.Canva Photos. “I told him he was wrong to lie about my status and deny my degree, to begin with,” Sadie continued. He said I could've talked to him about it privately later but not like this, and making his coworkers think he's useless.” Sadie asked the online forum if she was out of line, and they responded with a collective, "No!" People overwhelmingly supported the wife, raising an issue far beyond the fact that her husband was seriously inconsiderate. It’s a big _red flag_ in a relationship when one spouse diminishes or belittles the other in public or private. “Men who diminish their partners to look better at the office are gross. He only seemed to care about his embarrassment and not yours. I'd be mortified if my husband used a lie that robbed me of my success and accomplishments to prop himself up," one user responded. “It's a red flag for the relationship. He doesn't want a partner who is an equal. He wants a dependent woman who he can provide for completely so he can feel like a man," another user added. Some also noted that it was wrong of him to disparage homemakers. "He diminished (being a housewife is not a ‘low’ role, but he meant it that way) you in public, you corrected him. In public. As he deserved,” said another. Red Flags Reaction GIF by Kamie Crawford Giphy The viral post received over 24,000 comments, highlighting the idea that belittling your partner is a serious sign of a _dysfunctional relationship_ that should not be ignored. According to __Psychology Today_ ,_ backhanded compliments, digs, and subtle put-downs are attempts by one partner to make the other feel small and themselves feel big. “Although cleverly disguised as a joke or a compliment, these comments may qualify as ‘toxic’ if they sting, cause confusion, and replay in a person’s mind for days, disrupting their peace,” Erin Leonard, Ph.D. writes. Ultimately, commenters overwhelmingly agreed that Sadie was right not to let her husband's belittling compliment go unnoticed. By sharing it online, she opened up a meaningful discussion about appropriate humor in relationships. Studies show that _it’s healthy_ for partners to joke around with one another, but when the comments are thinly veiled put-downs and backhanded compliments, it’s no laughing matter.

China lashes out at JD Vance for calling Chinese people ‘peasants’ China on Tuesday slammed U.S. Vice-President JD Vance for referring to the Chinese people as 'peasants' in an interview that has drawn widespread ire and ridicule on China’s internet, and comparisons ...

No surprise, #JDVance is #insulting and #belittling foreigners, #alienating people the #US needs to negotiate with, and being a general all-around ass. 🫏

It seems #VPOTUS might actually be very skilled at something. Too bad it’s being a #jerk and a #liability.
