Nope, not all military men, but for thousands of years it has happened, and it still happens.

I posit that jobs in the military and on the police force are there precisely to give authoritarian, power-seeking, casually violent men (and now some women) something to do. If they were simply running wild with nothing to do and no authority to back up their assholery, they would be causing a lot of problems. Give…

I really hope more and more people talk about this. Since 9/11 the media and people in general have had this Halo around the military while people who serve are being assaulted at an alarming rate. Who knows how many people from other countries that are overseeing are also being assaulted.

Just like the strippers, JFK and Stalin.

I’ll tell you who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma. My parents, Martha Stewart and William Shakespeare.

10 years and it still feels like yesterday.

White supremacism informs and enables her crazy, is the point. You’re probably right that she’s so crazy that she doesn’t consciously understand, doesn’t let herself understand, that she is a crazy person with a persecution complex so great that she decided to pretend she was part of a legitimately persecuted group.

“How is she different from someone who is transgender?”

Let aside Rachel, thanks for answering the question and providing links. I think one of the problems that I have with understanding the gender issue is the claim that transwomen are women and transmen are men which I understand as a social construct (of course) but not in the current form of “transwomen are women…

a teeny tiny disclaimer at the end of a commercial which you cannot see unless you know to look for it. i find it infuriating. just show me what your mascara can do - without using fake lashes on the supermodel.

Right? They’re always the same length & ridiculously long. So annoying! It’s even worse than those hair commercials where there’s not a single fly away, so the hair just looks like a wig.

I have always wondered how makeup companies got away with that. It is SO obvious that the lash are fake. Show me what the mascara can REALLY do and I’ll buy it. For now, I’ll stick with my Maybelline Great Lash in the pink and green tube.

Lol society failed a gifted, popular athlete with an extremely bright future and a massive multi million dollar contract? Yeah, he drew a really bad hand. If only there was something society could have done for him. More adulation, more opportunities! None of this was his fault. /s

Society failed him? Are you fucking kidding me?

Oh give me a fucking break. Society failed him by making him an idolized millionaire? Get a fucking grip.

He was also a Christian pastor, so maybe we should call it Christian extremist terrorism, since that is what it would be called if he were Muslim.

Crazy, obsessive, religious. Exactly the kinds of people who should not have access to weapons. Luckily we have a way to keep weapons out of the hands of people like this....oh wait....

Your experience is yours and your only. I’m not going top sit here and pretend that Houston, where I live, isn’t a massive hub for human trafficking, or that massage spots and cantinas don’t participate in sex slavery, nor am I going to engage in victim blaming with regards to their “debts.”

Reminds me of a Birbiglia sketch.

Apparently human trafficking in these types of places is pretty rampant. Many of the victims underage.
