Yes, but not for the right to go to church. Scientology is the constant hard sell.

Yeah. I think it’s mostly because of that. I mean, Scientology says that there are 30 million or whatever amount of people in the religion, but former member say it’s more like 25,000. So with a close knit religion like that, especially one that doesn’t have schisms like Islam or Christianity (it would be odd to have…

I think the distinction most people make is that Christianity and Islam don’t require payment for membership, so people aren’t pissing their lives away and ending up in massive debt to keep the organization running.

The problem is that you are trying to redefine what privilege is. Black people have just spent decades trying to explain to white folks that privilege is not about your feelings, and that even if you are an extraordinarily disadvantaged white person, you still have privilege. White women have privilege even though…

Thanks for saying this.
There is apparently this world out there where straight, married middle-aged men are just constantly ankle-deep in oppertunities for no-strings sex and it’s just their own moral fiber that keeps it from happening but that isn’t the world anyone I know lives in.

It’s possible to know male privilege and be trans, because privilege is not something entirely internal. It depends partially on how someone perceived (because they’ll be punished by society for presenting as “femme”) and how they’re treated/the opportunities they’re given due to that perception. Privilege exists…

Does anyone really believe that privilege under patriarchy is assigned per the feelings of the individuals involved? One of the first things one had to work on as a politically active gay man back in the day was the fact that WE WERE RECIPIENTS OF PRIVILEGE WHETHER WE FELT WE WERE OR NOT. A non-gender conforming…

I think you’re being extremely unfair. Cis women are trying to discuss and engage with what it means to be female. They have to do that because there hasn’t been much space for women to tell their own stories and own their own narratives. Where are the stories about girlhood, periods, women’s bodies and sex - that…

Lots of white cismen have plenty of struggles. It’s often difficult to explain to a white straight guy who grew up in poverty, maybe was abused, maybe came from a food unstable home, that they in fact benefited from white privilege because they did. Our struggles absolutely have an effect on who we are and how we see…

Cosigned. As a ciswoman, I have to recognize (and challenge, abdicate from, etc.) my cis privilege and am also aware of the misogyny that affects me. To me, it would follow that a transwoman AMAB would have to contend with the male privilege in which she lived for whatever period of time, while also having to…

Wow, if only I’d known as a twelve year old that socialization is a game of catch! I could have avoided all the street harassment and sexual attention from adult men if I’d just avoided catching those gender-role messages!

Do realize the article says the guy has said he will not support any anti choice legislation in the future. How is that different from Hillary saying a marriage is between a man and woman only but promising to support gay rights during her campaign?  

“Thereis no pro-choice candidate running for mayor of Omaha, so your choices are an anti-choice Democrat or an anti-choice Republican. Who would Clinton want you to vote for?”

Let me preface this by saying that I am vehemently pro-choice, but wasn’t there literally not another Democratic choice? So the choices are: vote for a Democrat who does not agree on a very very important issue, or: vote for a Republican who does not agree on every very very important issue. Hmmm.....analysis: Fuck…

I mean, there’s a grain of truth to what he’s saying. There are plenty of places in the country where it’s nearly impossible for the Democrats to win simply because there’s a reliable contingent of voters whose only reason for voting is “to stop the babykilling liberals.”

As the other commenters said, she’s absolutely a sex worker. She’s just not a full on prostitute, which would be the other company that I imagine doesn’t even bother with pretenses.

Seriously. I’ve never really wanted kids, ever. I strongly considered becoming a dad because having a child was important to a partner that I loved very much, but other things came in the way. I’ve since nipped that issue in the bud permanently.

Yeah my friends with kids... other than the really close ones, I feel like they have disappeared into being “mommies” and think I’m shallow or lacking because I choose that the only poop I will ever clean up belongs to myself, or my cats.

This is because the moment you say you don’t want kids, everyone exclaims, “But don’t you love babies! Babies are so cute! Children will make you a real human being! I never loved until I had a child! Your decision is very bad because kids are so great!”
