What’s almost amusing about this is that they’re tacitly admitting they’ve treated these groups like shit and are terrified of the possibility of being treated the same way. That they deserve some kind of epic revenge these groups are cooking up for the moment they get power.

They don’t understand that. They define it differently. To them, feminism or racial equality is defined as, “Oh shit, the _____ are going to treat us as badly as we’ve treated them all these years? EVERYBODY PANIC!”

Something you need to understand about this: THEY DO NOT CARE IF WOMEN DIE GETTING ABORTIONS. In fact, they’d probably be smugly pleased about the whore getting her just deserts for killing her “baby.” The more difficult, the more dangerous, and the more expensive they can make abortion, the better. The idea of women…

I go out to eat two or three times a week on average because I hate cooking, and I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had truly “bad service.” Even then, I still left the expected tip. I just didn’t add the generous extra percentage I usually do.

I swear to God, if I ran a clinic in that state, I’d be telling patients, “We have to charge you $60 (or whatever) for the disposal of the tissue - a charge that was always included in the price of services, but we’re supposed to pass on to you because ... well, because your representatives are jerks - but guess what?…

It floors me how many people keep their guns loaded, safeties off, and ready to fire at the brush of a trigger.

What’s the number one fear for men about going to prison? That they’ll be subject to unwanted sexual advances, harassed, leered at, and possibly raped, and that their pleas for help or justice will be ignored by an uncaring system - one in which the authority figures might be part of the abuse.

I love Fallout, but I am painfully ignorant about mods. Can you tell me if I use mods on my xBox One? Is there somewhere to navigate from the menus where I can find them for download?

Anti-choicers often insist there are plenty of homes eager to adopt these babies... ignoring the fact there are half a million surplus kids now floating around in foster care. “Oh but they want infants!” Nice, clean, healthy, white infants with no substance abuse issues that haven’t already been screwed up by the…

That is simultaneously one of the truest and saddest statements. They do not care if women die trying to self-abort. In fact, they’d probably smile with grim pleasure that another “sinner” got her just desserts.

I really wish we could develop a way to remove unwanted fetuses and freeze them. That way, there would be no outcry about “killing babies.” They’re in stasis, able to be unfrozen and re-implanted in a willing uterus. Women could choose to completely surrender the pregnancy to a willing host, or keep it for a later…

The plane actually isn’t as bad as I expected it to be. From the interior photos of his apartment I’ve seen, I expected the plane to be thickly covered with 100% crass tackiness.

They believe - sincerely - that one of two things will happen:

Here’s the thing: they don’t CARE if you die. In their minds, you deserve it for doing such an awful thing. They would smile down smugly at your body and picture you roasting in hell with the other sinners, and discuss carting your corpse around to schools so they could use it to scare young girls about what happens…

Everyone knows if you keep kids ignorant of how to protect themselves from disease or pregnancy, they just won’t have sex.

That’s a very good analysis, actually. In romance novels, the power imbalance in male/female relationships is flipped. Whereas many real women feel they aren’t valued and are the ones pushing for a relationship, men in romance novels are singularly attracted to this particular female, utterly obsessed with having her,…

You forgot “rich.” Because that seems to be important, though Our Heroine demurs material things. Still, she accepts the first edition books, designer clothes (after he strips her drunk and unconscious body), a car, a cell phone he can track, etc.

I’ve read the books. I’m not going to slam the writing style, because I’ve seen worse. What disturbed me was that the male protagonist was an out-and-out sociopath. He was a sadist, not a dominant, and an irresponsible one at that, refusing to recognize safe words, etc..

RawStory said yesterday that they’re burning them in a large oil drum.... indoors.

Someday I legitimately want one of these folks to sit down and explain to me how the rest of the industrialized world is able to have things like family leave, universal health care, extensive social safety nets - which sometimes include free college! - and not collapse into financial ruin and anarchy.
