You might want to read the Sandberg article. Since its introduction is the 1890's (when it was used to describe a female manager), the term has been used 4X more to describe men as women. The lack of parity was most extreme in the 1970's (when women were making the hugest gains in employment in history) and in the…

Probably troll, but it never helps to create a record for people in the future who are sincere. By using caution with words like bossy and thug, it draws attention to the fact that, implicitly and without rancor, we often disproportionately labor behaviors and attitudes as "thugish" when interacting with…

I think the point is conscious-raising. By making people recognize and change their speech, they become more aware of its effects and connotations and are more likely to self-police. An example is the push against Chairman, Mailman, etc. MRA's are going to keep using them, or find something equally shitty, but…

Over. The.Band.

Not to humblebrag, but there is enough hose to snake it up, over the elastic waist band, and through the zipper without sacrificing accuracy or pressure.

I don't think you understand how thick good men's suits and tuxes are. I do this all the time, in fact, at some jobs I've kept an iron in my desk for the midday touch up. As long as you move fast and are only spot-correcting individual wrinkles, the burn risk is minimal

It gets better. A lot better.

Pretty much the same thing Russia did. Have a MEU walk the new Ukraine government into the Crimea in order to "protect order" and "prevent human right violations" Reminding the Russian "volunteers" that when a country decides it wants to move towards the EU and an open-market, and away from Russian dominance, we can…

I assert that being denied the Motion was just, because (at least according the judge) Marissa provided zero proof that the garage, front, or back door was closed when the State provided evidence that it was. Therefore the Judge could not have ruled any other way (unless we change the law). I think there is no…

By the Court, do you mean the judge or the jury? The Jury has every reason to call Marissa a liar, they are the only ones who get to see all the evidence, watch the entire trial, and make decisions on credibility. The Judge has no reason to mistrust her, because his or her job is not to weight the evidence.

Common law "simple" self-defense only applies in situations where a man was socially expected to be terrified (i.e. a reasonable belief that someone was presently able to do imminent deadly harm to you), The battered women's defense was added to protect women who kill their husband when, due to past physical abuse,…

Prosecutors are nearly universally prone to overcharging, constant re-litigation, and other shit-baggery, especially when the accused is a POC or otherwise socially ostracized.

Well, that defense would be either a Model Penal Code self-defense, or a special battered woman self-defense, totally exempt from SYG and therefore an issue for the jury.

Classical self-defense required a sincere belief that a person was going to kill you, and that belief had to be one expected from a random person in…

I agree on all three points, but battered woman syndrome* is a distinct defense from SYG.

* Not sure if Battered Woman Syndrome or an updated self-defense that allows for a sincere, but unreasonable, fear for life to be a defense exists in FL.

He's an MRA, wrong, and an ass, but he accidentally stumbled upon a nugget of knowledge. The Court did not believe that she was trying to escape the house at any point because she passed two doors on her way to the garage, and the garage door did not appear to actually be broken.

From the order:
"The defendant testified…

There are a few reasons given in the Court Order Denying the Motion for Immunity due to SYG, however the main one is that the Court did not believe that she was trying to escape the house at any point because she passed two doors on her way to the garage, and the garage door did not appear to actually be broken.

From…

First Amendment trumps the penumbra of the 14th. The government, through the medical licensing board, can't prevent the doctor from expressing his or her religious/personal belief, no matter how unpopular.

Its a classic dilemma. Do I forego cheese on my sandwich, or to I have soft, loving bread untouched by the flame?

Why can we put a god-damn man on the moon, but I can't have self-melting cheese?

Trying to raise money to pay for an attorney and HR manager to implement a system that fulfills the ever-changing regulation?

Toasted is just a polite way of saying burnt until stale.

So let's threaten the lives of other, uninvolved children! That will make you feel safe!
