I saw a commercial for them that was like “you don’t want to use chemicals around your baby!!!!” and I was like oh ok so you’re marketing to ignoramuses who don’t know what chemicals are, are terrified of “toxins” but can't explain what that means, and are probably afraid of GMOs again without being able to tell you…

They let their baby suffer for 2 and a half weeks. They are 100% totally to blame.

Naturopaths can do good but in conjunction with actual doctors. It’s called complimentary medicine for a reason and idiots like these give those of us, who believe naturopaths have a role to play alongside medical doctors, a bad name.

That’s the thing. I think if either of them were as sick as their child was they would have gotten themselves real medical care. They wouldn’t have put up with the misery. Their God-complex would have shut off real quick.

Good. If you’re an adult, feel free to be a guinea pig, treat, don’t treat, whatever.

that the government and/or the medical establishment are attacking the family for their beliefs.

There is a lot to unpack here.

All the non-drinking muslims get together with the abstinent single Catholic folks.

You can’t reduce sexual harassment and leering by having the girls wear longer skirts. They get harassed and leered at because they are girls, not because of what they are wearing.

I can’t speak to the complexities of solving the problem but I do know my best friend was sexually assaulted by her year 8 teacher at private school where the girls wore calf length skirts. I know I went to a rural primary school in a very hot climate where we all spent our lunch breaks doing cartwheels and playing…

Don’t worry. It was still 100% your fault.

Take my comment and swap out “rape” with “sexual harassment.” Every word is still true.

Who here is demanding she apologize? She said a shitty thing and people are calling it out. I don’t understand your ‘leave it at that’ comment. We pretty much are, unless there’s a Jez posse headed to her house...? If she wants to discuss in public the ‘fact’ that men like young women (and not just 18, but 12 year…

This is really demonstrably untrue. Telling women to cover up does not protect them, it does the exact opposite by sending the message that if women do not want sexual contact, they have to express that through their dress (or drinking habits, or whatever other dumb thing idiots come up with). The only message you…

So, you think it’s more effective to give advice to the children rather than give advice to the adults?

If wearing longer skirts or otherwise dressing “modestly” had any effect on rape, what she said would not be a problem — it would be an unfortunate reality. But it doesn’t.

And as long as the young ladies are at it, they should stop flashing their purses around at everyone because it shows they have money, and so many people are attracted to money. You don’t want to turn someone into a thief or a mugger now, do you?

How am I expected to read this long article, when I got a rage stroke halfway into the third paragraph that has rendered me blind?
