Nah. The difference here is the difference between someone concealed carrying a handgun downtown, and someone downtown taking out their handgun and stroking it lovingly while eyeing you with a crazy stare. And then patting the "no parking" sign when you drive slowly past, looking for a parking spot.

Dutch Top Gear?

So I have heard. That word is absurd and I shall not apologize for not having heard of it.

fuck off libertarian tards.

Holy shit that was quick. You're literally defending someone that evaded being pulled over. Am I supposed to applaud??? No. I don't enjoy having a convoy make me go ten to twenty under the limit so yall can show off the capabilities off your machines.

Ok? I'll buy your premise. Who the fuck pretends to be a cop in broad daylight???

Haha, nice made-up childish excuses.

Making claims that the cop somehow was about to kill the biker is an outright lie!

Oh derp! I had no idea it was a common urban legend. Now I'm wondering if my mom heard the story from a coworker and it just keeps getting appropriated? Straight up making this up doesn't sound like my mom, but stealing the story from someone else and cating herself as the new star totally does sound like her. Haha.

I can see where you are coming from, but you lose me at this point exactly: "but the series of constructs that led them to this place was out of their hands."

Yeah, kids are great and being a mother is a hard job, but generalizing about mothers doing "more than anyone else in the world does" is ridiculous. You had a kid and unless you are a horrible person, you take car of it. As it turns out, there a loads of terrible mothers who don't take care of their kids or do much,…

I get that, but she didn't ask for help, and actually kind of worked things so she was the sole liaison between us peons and the people building the system. Don't get me wrong - she's incredibly competent and motivated, but I get the feeling that she's too much of a perfectionist to let go of the reins even a little.…

"doing more for other people than anyone else in the world does" sounds pretty saintly to me. I understand the difficulties of being a mom, even though I have not experienced it, because I have read extensively on the matter, talked to many moms, and watched them do their work. I have empathy, I get it. I also know…

No, no it isn't. This wasn't just a work project. It was a complete restructuring of how things are done at a government agency with hundreds of employees. No one would've reacted badly if she'd said, "You know what, my family is my priority right now, someone else needs to come on board to run this," or at least…

I have trouble placing diffferent levels of blame on people with regards to their gender for the exact same behavior. Men actively ostracize a pregnant woman while women are "made to" ("..women have had to internalize..") do the same, which absolves them, at least in part, of guilt.

Why would a women choose to shoot other women (and ergo herself) in the foot, if not for internalized sexism?

For the same reason that men may undercut other men, personal shitty vendettas.

"Women can participate in the patriarchy, numb-nuts."

I'm aware of how mothers live- I'm a teacher, I've worked in a preschool, and lived with a baby in my house for extended periods of time. It's still not doing more for others than anyone else in the world. I know that there is no guarantee, but life itself brings no guarantees. Part of the idea of having a kid is…

OK, I'm totally in support of pregnant ladies here, but claiming that being pregnant is "doing more for other people than anyone else in the world does" is part of the bullshit that makes people mad at pregnant women. Yeah, you're being selfless...to a creature that is half you, that you hope will be around to help…
