“If I died in my sleep tonight I do not think I would care, and I do not think anyone else really would either.”

You said exactly how I have felt at times. Hoping you have a PolicyChick Team who you can turn to when things get dark. Jedi hugs to you.

I think about this everyday. On the outside I am a fairly successful attorney/writer working in nonprofit in DC. I volunteer, I went to law school as a second career late in life. I travel extensively and I’m a photographer who takes pretty good wildlife shots.

I left roller derby, for which I was a NSO, after being told that if I don’t like the male skater/photog who raped me, that I just don’t have to talk to him, but they like his photography and he’s a dues-paying member, so I, as a non-paying, non-skating official, could go fuck myself. He even gave them a written…

100% they don’t care. Men are not idiots. They understand the word “no.”

I mean I can’t wait for the day when men decide to stop participating in things so I can finally go to a party and not have to worry about being touched inappropriately or having gross comments made to me or being hounded around the room by some fucking dude. Oh, please, no, don’t stay home! Whatever shall we do…

Former male skater here. I quit because the dudes were so skeevy. Everyone’s body was a subject to be commented on, and every minor detail and instruction had to be overloaded with innuendo. It could have been fun and the bad actors were a statistical minority, but nobody ever did anything about them. There was one…

Logic wold be not to touch women you aren’t in a relationship with inappropriately, or at all, because there is no reason to do it.

I get so angry these days whenever I hear some jackass complaining about how “nobody knows what the rules are for dealing with women now!”

It’s not the accusations, it’s the admissions. Once the guy has said, “Oh, gosh, yeah, looking back I did do some stuff that some people might have seen as crossing a line now that I think about it in retrospect, but believe me, I’m not a bad person,” you know that it’s all true and they’re just trying to minimize it…

“Roller derby is probably one of the last places you’d expect to see a textbook example of #MeToo.”

YEh the minute it became co-ed, this should no longer have been a surprise. (Obviously still something that happened even when women only, but I’m willing to bet exponentially less so)
Sorry not sorry, I have conflicting…

So is China. So will Canada... it’s almost like the people who work in government jobs in other countries know what the hell they’re doing and aren’t just hiring sycophants and family members to appease the ego of a misshapen sentient boil.

How and why do all these motherfuckers act like they’re not on camera ALL THE TIME??? We heard you! We saw you! Fuck!!! I can’t handle the brazen bullshit... at least fucking TRY to lie in a way that’s not completely insulting to our collective intelligence!

Not that it matters but I never fired James Comey because of Russia! The Corrupt Mainstream Media loves to keep pushing that narrative, but they know it is not true!

It’s hilarious that Britons, who are typically so smug in their assessment of the stupid American voter, are committing economic and geopolitical suicide because of the lies Boris Johnson told them.

thank you, Ian Bremmer

In response to US tariffs, Brussels is playing a smart game by targeting exports from Republican-run states - amongst American exports being considered for EU tariffs are Harley Davidson, Florida orange juice, and American whiskey. The EU is also hauling the US in front of the WTO.

He consoles himself with “at least I’m the tallest.”

Not only handsomer in person than in pictures, Eric is tall, even taller than his father.

We are adults; we’ve developed a bit of an armor
