The problem is it depends how you measure “at risk.” I think the ways in which girls—especially girls of color—are at risk tend to be ignored.

Yeah I’m so sick of people defending them: ‘oh they were economically anxious’. You don’t vote in favor of someone who openly despises people of color, women and poor people and then get to claim that you did it out of self preservation. Vote with the common good in mind, not just your own selfish needs. We’re in a…
“We don’t know how much of a factor race plays in the sudden reversal of public opinion...”
And I would definitely want a transcript of that meeting to make sure it wasn’t just authority figures saying, “Girls, wouldn’t you love to have X club and Z social thing and outings? Doesn’t that sound like FUN? Wouldn’t you rather have that then a boring old girls school? Raise your hand if you want to have FUN!”…
I love how “working-class” is a term to mean white and employed in manufacturing, repair services, energy production, agricultural production, or police and emergency services. God bless those people. They’re the salt of the earth.

She also unleashed the hideously unscientific John Grey and his “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” bullshit.
My sister was just like this at 13. Skinny with boobs. And then I turned 13 a couple years later and nothing happened.
Why behead people when you can just shoot them in the street?
Oprah has a lot to answer for unleashing Dr. Phil and Dr. Oz on us.
This is the thing I just can’t wrap my brain around. Every day the religious right gains more common ground with groups like isis and yet constantly crows about their moral superiority when at this point the only real difference is they haven’t started beheading people. Within a few years I seriously doubt there will…
Republican Logic 101:
That is the best way to make a cat like you. Life threatening allergies.
Could just be the elephant blanket, seems to be a cat attractant.
Even the most hateful cats that despise *everyone* adore me.
