Someone who stole 6 cars and broke into 14 homes and forged a dozen checks is a non-violent offender. Someone who got caught selling weed is also a non-violent offender. The former is indeed a threat to society, while the latter is not.

"No threat to society" is a good way of putting it. I like that more than "non-violent". Thanks.

I agree- this shouldn't be an issue of releasing women because they're women. It should be releasing non violent offenders because theyre non violent.

Yeah, this'll totally win over the naysayers who don't believe us when we say feminism is about equality.

Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner. Making about women means people won't listen and a discussion about not locking up violent offenders is so overdue. Why derail it?

we'd be talking about ways to keep more women—and men with non-violent offenses

I don't really see why the focus has to be on women here; just non-violent offenders in general.

Try spending all that time and energy shopping for a wedding dress, finally finding one you adore, pay for it and wait for it to arrive for your wedding eight months down the line. Then, get knocked up, and spend six months not really showing. Convince yourself that four weeks from now, at your actual wedding, you…

I got my dress at J Crew and it was so wonderful. They don't work on commission, they had tons of sizes, and they gave me a discount code for when I ordered online. My dress was about $700, and beautiful. I also got my dress in like 3 weeks.

I actually feel sorry for these guys. The more they get into this delusional stuff, the more unlikely it is that they'll ever make those human connections they desperately crave, which means the more attracted they'll be the bitter and delusional stuff, which means it will only be harder to make those human…

Goldieblox are overpriced, closed ended, and heavily gendered. I'm so tired of people thinking they're the Best. Thing. Eva.

Seriously, you can't have an issue with Lego Friends and think Goldieblox are swell. At least Lego Friends are open ended and don't require you to mortgage your house to get enough to do cool…

Welp. This is bullshit. We're going to break the mold! With a doll that's blonde and blue eyed and skinny! And also if you let your little girl play with THOSE OTHER DOLLS you are a mindless robot and you are turning her into a mindless robot.

I loved the concept of GoldieBlox when it first came out... but man, are they failing on execution. Their engineering thing was NOT fun - the girl-targeted LEGO sets are much better and more versatile - and now they have an "action figure", aka doll? Looks super lame.

I don't know why, but this seems like something I would like, but it just annoys me. I think the fact the being #notapinkgirl is such a huge part of their schtick. I'd rather see something defined by what it *is* —like those women in science lego sets. There's no need to hate on dolls or girly things, just give…

That is the dumbest doll I've ever seen... I was so looking forward to the reveal, maybe dolls of women in a wide range of areas of employment, who can interact and have interesting narratives. Instead it's a figure with googly eyes, tween overalls and a hammer. o____o

The only time sunday's are good are when they are your first sunday that starts before a vacation...:D Like the sunday when you take two weeks off and you look at the two weeks off before you like you're looking over a majestic cliff. Seeing all the land you own.....

I am really enjoying all the people who read the headline and came immediately down here to bitch about weddings in general without reading the article.

The wedding industrial complex is so bat shit crazy in this country that it took me an embarrassing 3/4 of the article to realize that it's a joke. I thought she was being serious. People seriously think like this. People are seriously the worst.
