Are you using your qualification in child psychology or any other kind of professional knowledge to make this claim?

If your workout is so insanely serious that it can be ruined by a guy exercising in a way that’s fun for him while not physically or audibly disturbing you in any way, then you have much, much bigger problems.

I don’t think it’s as easy as simply “claiming” you feel gender dysphoria. One needs to undergo a battalion of physiological evaluations in civilian life before a formal diagnosis is made so I can't imagine diagnosis in prison would be any less stringent. In the US one must meet the four criteria set down by the DSM-IV

I always find it incredibly ironic that these are, without a doubt, the anti-choice crowd who think abortion is murder. God forbid you actually try to assist the people who carried their fetus to term, just like you wanted. Or to assist the fully developed and sentient fetus which is now an actual human being instead…

I'm a thin woman and while I do get the odd anorexia comment I don't seriously think I have it anywhere near as bad as fat ladies. But that's besides the point, which is the completely stupid idea that we can only fight oppression for one group of people at a time. You see it constantly on line: "Why are you so…

In Australia we call that work experience and you usually do it during high school. I think its valuable because it lets you dip your toes into a career to see if its right for you, without having to slave at an entry level position that affects other work or study. US style internships are called traineeships here…

It’s the same in Australia. An unpaid internship MUST be linked to coursework undertaken in order to gain a qualification and is usually limited to a certain amount of hours and is rarely full-time. Maybe it’s just because I live in a commie/pinko/socialist country, but I find it appalling that people are actually…

No one ever lost money making women feel shitty and inadequate.

Breakfast for the French is black coffee and a cigarette, so you know, that might have something to do with it.

I don’t have kids or ever plan on having any and think discussing this stuff is absolutely crucial for anyone who actually wants to live in a society uninformed by ingrained sexism.

Demons, ghosts, vampires and gods exist in pretty much every culture around the world. How is that proof of anything but an attempt to find answers for shared human experiences?

Hey, you know who is tired of getting attacked? Women who have abortions!

There’s also those women who have kids and really regret it and while they may not physically abuse their kids, they just don’t emotionally connect with them and neglect them out of a complete apathy about their existence. I’ve met a couple of women like this, and it’s a total taboo to even talk about because we have…

I saw an excellent documentary about this focussing on a young man in China. It was depressing and sad as hell. This young Chinese guy wants a girlfriend, but, as he lives in the country, there are pretty much no womn available (the natural male to female ration is 105:100. In rural Chinese areas it can be as high as…

Who determines what is "proper interpretation" though? Just look at all the religous schisms and resultant wars over differences of interpretation. Even today you can't get two people in a room from the same Christian denomination who agree on what the Bible says.

Wow, I feel for you US ladies. I've never experienced harassment on public transport in Australia. The grossest thing I ever saw on a train was an old lady cutting her husbands toenails.

I fit all his hard criteria and a most of his soft criteria! Who wants to play the "introducer" and split all the date fees with me? I am happy to move to the US for six months to fleece this wanker.

I have zero credentials and apparently I’m more qualified to run a mayoral communications office than this person is.

That’s utterly horrifying, not least because it’s probably true.

Wow, that last sentence just reinforces why the rest of the world thinks many American's are self-absorbed, ignorant numskulls. Well done.
