Reproductive rights/bodily autonomy is absolutely a class issue, which intersects nicely with fundamentalists' squeamishness about sex. I wish more people got this. I firmly believe that Republicans in power don't give a shit about the "Abortion is murder!" cries of their fundamental brethren. Instead, they are simply…

Women's bodies (especially genitals) are property. Men are in the business of ensuring the quality and purity of said product to be passed from father to husband. To do that, though, it's essential to control their minds and actions. Seriously, what buyer wants a previously opened box?

I always liked this waaaaaay better than Beyonce's maudlin If I Were a Boy song!

Jezebel has been strangely silent on the story about the 8 months pregnant woman in Sudan who was just sentenced to death by an Islamic court for converting to Christianity and marrying a Christian man.

There are villages all over PA and the northeast.

I remember this logic, and it seems to have worked with these girls. It had to have taken serious courage to jump out of that truck with another trailing behind full of shooters.

I vividly remember that episode too for that same reason. It seems to me there was a detective explaining this as the "2nd crime scene". That's the place where the real bad stuff goes down. I never forgot it. It's also in the 1st crime scene where you have a better chance to have witnesses.

I also love the woman who crashed her car into a police cruiser where a cop was overseeing street constuction work. Smart.

I took a self-defense class a few years ago, and that was essentially the message of the instructor — never get in a car, never go to a second location, and basically make it as difficult and inconvenient for the assailant to continue as possible. His logic — which admittedly wouldn't apply to a truly deranged…

Was that also the episode where Oprah suggested that if anyone harasses you in public/attempts to interact with you so as to distract you so they can commit a crime, to start screaming in loud, violent gibberish because "people even bad ones fear crazy." This always stuck with me. As goofy as it sounds, this is some…

I'm in my 30s and I remember my mom always told us that. Maybe they'll kill you if you try to escape, but they'll definitely kill you if you go with them.

Absolutely. And her words feel very true, often it would have been better to die (be shot) then endure some of the literally torturous murder stories we hear.

I remember reading more recently that basically, if you're in a populated area, even if you are shot trying to escape, you are more likely to survive the gunshot wound than surviving whatever that person is going to do once he moves you. It's terrifying. I just hope I'm never in a situation where I have to fight for…

Yeah and I remember thinking "I don't care if I get stabbed or shot—nobody will ever take me to a second location. I would crash my car into a tree first". It's always stuck with me and I wonder at the impact of that episode. I remember a story where a girl watched an Oprah episode (that I also remember) that had a…

What he means by that is that we shouldn't care about these women. These guys never really mean "please care about these guys too, just as I care about your girls!" What they mean is "I don't give a shit about these girls, I don't really give a shit about these guys either, but I will pour all my efforts in derailing…

Dogs will love anybody at any time. You have to EARN a cat's love.

Today is a day for Team Cat.

I think the less bathing suit the better. That goes for all people.
