What you're experiencing is often referred to as a "Heteronormative" outlook. This is "denoting or relating to a world view that promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation". The idea that heterosexuality, even though it is far more common than homo or bisexuality is more "normal" than other…

So because you've never seen it, it isn't common. Check.

What strikes me about the doxxing comment I saw was that it was posted as a weird, fucked up way of reassuring Felicia Day—their assertion was that the info was easy to find, so all her fears were silly. And it's just such ridiculous logic. Here's someone being vulnerable, and that's how you respond?

I'm assuming this guy has a "final solution" to the "negro" problem. That or instead of sending young black men to prison for minor crimes, perhaps they would have some sort of program where people could buy their labor while they pay of their debt to society (and charging them more than they make for room and board).

They (the South) ALL do - even Texas! There's about 15 states that carry the freight for the whole country as far as tax revenue is concerned; all the other states get back more from DC than they send to DC. I think North Dakota's the only red state among the non-leech states, and they only moved into that column in…

So what's supposed to happen to us Black people when this new Reagan nation comes to fruition? Oh wait, never mind. We either embrace being slaves again, get lynched for resisting or create another Underground Railroad. ALL ABOARD!!! Black, gay and Latino...let's get the fuck OUT!!

Oh and by the way, you have no idea how frustrating it is to read comments like this. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming you've never felt your heart drop to the ground as the world stops around you when you see on the news that some local firefighters were critically injured in a fire, and you realize you…

My husband is a firefighter. He works 24 hour shifts. A typical call volume is 8-22 calls per shift, and he's frequently working on ambulance. He has been assaulted and shit/pissed/puked/bled/amniotic fluided on more times than he can count. He has knelt on the floor of a piss-soaked carpet in an overcrowded apartment…

Addendum: I love that Florida is defined as having great family values.

Most firefighters are also trained as paramedics, so when they're not dealing with firefighter stuff, they're assisting with medical emergencies. They're also dealing with car accidents, hazardous material spills, and various and sundry other tasks in addition to maintaining their equipment, doing safety inspections,…

Being a firefighter is a very stressful and strenuous... not only do they do fire calls they also do medical... its not a "sweet gig" its a job that only the strong hearted and stomached are best at.. the next time you see a firefighter/emt/paramedic/cop thank them for doing their job... not everyone can see what…

So, the other day, I was home from work. (luckily), and the house behind me caught on fire. I could see the flames and smoke coming out of the person's first floor (I'm assuming kitchen, it's all row homes here.) It was terrifying. I called the Emergency people and the Fire Department came very quickly.

Someone needs to make a game called TERF or MRA, because I get into those discussions a lot.

There may not be many fires in your town, their is however medical calls. and the I cut my finger and it hurts at 3am..Theirs the infant SIDS call that they have to help the family deal with. Oh and how can you forget the being away from family for 24 hours. This post is suppose to be positive not negative. When your…

You missed the MRA trying to lecture me about the effects of HRT. Now, you know, I'm not a doctor—you are—but I am on HRT and I have had the effects explained to me by multiple doctors in multiple languages. I think I would know about a medical treatment I was personally experiencing, BUT APPARENTLY NO, BECAUSE RANDOM…

It's probably more respectful to say that she was hired on the presumption she was a man or something to that effect. We don't know how Brooke's gender identity developed, so it's not really fair of us to say "she joined FDNY as a man." This may seem like splitting hairs, and a case of "you know what I meant," but it…

No, but I imagine the reason they didn't do so was because they couldn't type up the quotes without their eyes rolling back and keeping them from concentrating.

No complaints here. I watched that mess unfold. I was making "TERF or MRA?" bets with myself for the first part of it. Then it just got more and more essentialist without enough shit talking about Y chromosomes, so I figured they must be an MRA.
