Presumably there should be a cop—some cop—within a 12 minute walk/drive of the station. That's why there are multiple precincts and multiple cops on duty at the same time.

Hey! Even if you didn't mean to blame the victim there or anything, you still managed to do it.

Not a nurse or doctor, but as a woman who spent much of her life exclusively dating women, and whose social circle was primarily made up of lesbians for much of that time, you should definitely get tested for STIs with the same regularity that straights do. I know lesbians who got STIs from lesbian-lady-sex. It's…

People keep talking about how Yale "couldn't have known" that the dude was a psycho, and thus "couldn't have done anything" to protect her. But really, most research into criminals of this kind suggests that there are plenty of obvious warning signs that happen before anyone gets really hurt. Read The Gift of Fear,…

But it's not like regular plastic surgery, in which a woman can either do nothing (and thus have small boobs or a big nose) or get surgery (and thus have big boobs or a small nose). It's not a zero-sum game, is what I'm saying, in which vaginal birth is all good and c-sections are all bad. There are benefits to…

""fear of pelvic floor damage" and "concern about the impact of vaginal delivery on sex life"" is not the same thing as "cosmetic effects of vaginal childbirth."

I don't know—certainly 150+ years ago, pretty much everyone would have said that large numbers of routinely flying humans would probably always remain a fantasy, but that has clearly not been the case. History is long, and I honestly believe that the future is only limited by our imaginations (which is to say that we…

It was specifically about American network television. Doctor Who isn't American network television.

No I mean my point is literally that evolutionary science is not a "branch of respected science" because nobody respects it because it's not a science.

I'm pretty sure that when cops search your car, they can rip seats out and shit. They can fuck up your car, and then when they're done and you don't have any illegal shit in your car, they're like, "Well have a nice day, buh-bye" and you're left with a ripped apart car, for no reason at all. That is not minimizing my…

representatives from the Justice Department and the FBI have been meeting with abortion-rights groups and medical providers to explain what they do and their efforts to prevent violence against doctors and patients.

Wow good job treating people equally. I guess that means that systemic oppression doesn't exist. Congratulations! Your anti-bigotry has thus fixed everything.

"you can earn your own money, enter a relationship with a man because you want to not because you financially need to, and when he's shown you he's deserving, you can give him the privilege of making a lifetime commitment to you and then you will give him the gift of a child. Not only when you both feel ready to do it…

No. No no no. Evolutionary psychology is fake science. Men don't act one way while women act another way because we're biologically/evolutionarily designed to do so. That "research" is just "scientists" looking at statistics and using them to justify the social inequalities and stereotypes that the "scientists" hold…

Oh PS We totally do know that evolution exists, and your weird hatred of science facts and the earth is soooo tedious plse go troll foxnews's website or something k?

Oh sorry I didn't realize that you were fucking insane. Here's how I can tell that you're actually one of the crazy mofos who don't know how to think about things:

I mean that the material experience of an individual's body has an effect on his identity as a whole. A cisgendered person will experience the world in a way determined by their bodies, and so will a transperson. Everyone does. Because we all have bodies. And only through them can we, um, be. So how your body is will…

"To equate questioning of global warming with heresy is exactly what the Church did to Galileo. "

Sorry could you please give me an example of a national politician "on the Left" who is actually on-record as being "anti-faith"?

To be fair, I doubt most Dems could do this. Most politicians couldn't. Most adults couldn't. Even the ones who understand evolution and aren't crazy jesus freaks who hate science.
