“Commuted” would be the proper verb in the context.

While the headline is totally truthful, it’s also somewhat misleading on an initial read. When I hear of prisoners being released, I think that means from prison all together. Sure, they were released from death row and put back into regular prison, but surely there’s a better phrasing for that?

Lol, overly sanctimonious wedding people are ALMOST as bad as sancti-mommies.

the spice must flow

Why are you making fun of the idea of changing this policy? If there was a compelling reason to protect women here, I would see the logic, but there isn’t. 30% is a lot and men are right to be disgruntled here.

It isn’t necessarily bad advice for women who are afraid for their safety to take precautions, including owning a gun.

I agree wholeheartedly. I suppose that makes us the monsters though...at least according to the comments. There are certain mistakes one can make in life....certain choices. Sometimes the effect of those choices are irreversible even thought we didn’t realize what the effect would be. You lure someone out on their…

You’re a piece of shit. Non-compliance is not a justification for rape.

Oh, right, that was the big difference. If only she had been compliant, then when they stuck their fingers into her vagina for no reason it wouldn’t have been rape, it would have been consensual.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again:

Three years is an eternity when you’re ready to start a family. You’d basically be precluding women in their 30s from changing jobs. A woman who has hit the three year mark you proposed, wants to get pregnant, and gets a better job offer might not take it if she’s 32 or older. Once you hit 35, that’s automatically a…

Here is the point he was making: If every employee of every company has paid medical leave, then it evens out in the long term. If you leave company a after 5 years, go to company b, get preggers and pop within 9 months, it won’t matter because they would have gotten the same time off at a different job. The new job…

every time i see a kinja notification, i sigh and say, “what stupid shit did i say this time?”

My husband’s company offers 4 or 6 weeks of paid paternity leave (I can’t remember which), but he said that most of the men in his office only take part of it, usually 2-3 weeks. I told him that when we have a child, he will absolutely take every single day available to him even if he feels like it’ll be too hard to…

I am a male ally for feminism. Jezebel played a part in making that happen.

How to start your day like Mocena:

Got you beat... We had to learn AUSTRALIAN group dances (like square dances, only Australian) because my PE teacher was Australian. I did not attend school in Australia.

Oh boohoo, it’s pretty clear from studies AND anecdotes that the publishing industry has a heavy bias AGAINST women. Don’t blame them for your inability to move past your biases, and sure as hell don’t bitch and moan about that exact bias being discussed.

“Hey, can you do me a special favor for me and my date tonight?”

Yeah, I’d be irritated if all the condiment cups and other options were out, but I certainly wouldn’t take it out on a harried concessions worker the way she did. And I wouldn’t pour soda all over a concession stand for some poor soul to clean up or for other fans to deal with. That’s just rude.
