Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

My ex is short, five feet tall. First she married me, I'm 6'1". The guy she married after me is 6'5". She's not an insecure person at all, just prefers her men to be large, for, umm, reasons. I'm guessing husband 2 is larger in many ways than I am, given that he wears size 15 shoes and can easily palm a basketball. Regardless, they're obviously happy with each other, as I am with my current wife, who's of average height.
Size differences between partners can also be driven by insecurity in the larger one. That's not true in my case, since I've enjoyed partners of widely differing heights, a couple of them even taller than me. But I've seen plenty of that with (for example) weebs. And of course there's the myth that Asian women (south or east) are docile and servile. That has not been my experience at all. But I prefer women with strong personalities, so it might be a self-selected sample.
There's plenty of tone-consiousness embedded in Indian culture, and there's also the colonial cringe in many cases: the notion that those who resemble the former imperial masters are of higher status than the locals.
I suspect in the Vance case that he presented himself in one way before they got married, then did a sociopathic pivot afterward. And for whatever reason, Usha has kept quiet about it. It's very hard to tell what goes on inside other people's relationships.
