Did you even bother to read the story? There was evidence, physical evidence: The victim returned to the house and found a friend who took her to Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Medical Center where she was examined there by a sexual assault nurse examiner who verified the rape, police said.

No offense but no. Patriarchy has long existed without religion and will continue to exist without it. Statements like this are idiotic.

Because he pled no contest to unlawful restraint, not to sexual assault or rape. He only admitted to the facts as they pertain to the elements of the unlawful restraint charge, not to the rape. 

Meanwhile a woman is being held in Rikers without bail because she sat on the floor in a public office.

I live a secular life, and I think I’m largely a good person. It drives me insane that predators and scammers like these can claim a moral high ground over me because of their religion, and our society will largely agree.

Is there any industry where this ISN’T happening? I completed 4 separate contract assignments and spent a total of 3.5 years with the corporate office of a large financial institution. Sure as shit, this company valued what I brought to the table, as they kept asking me back for assignment after assignment; but never…

I hope there’s at least one adult looking out for him. I had a trans girl student pick me as the teacher to come out to after a lesson on genetics in which I said that XX:female and XY:male were typical, but exceptions abound and gender/sex is complicated.

The hundred student walkout in support of the teacher is indicative of how deeply rooted anti-trans sentiment remains in parts of the community. One wonders whether Roger Severino will take an interest.

Human history also actually includes records of transgender individuals in nearly every single era and around the globe. Records including the Holy Bible!

A religious belief is not eating pork or not working on Saturday. This is treating people like shit and then blaming god when you get caught.

You’re being a dick, and I hope you don’t work with kids.

“BIGOT JOBLESS, UNABLE TO FURTHER HARM CHILDREN”

1. That’s not how “tolerance” works, you idiot.

‘he was at risk of losing his job for having views held by “most of the world for most of human history.”’

Well, actually, her point was that men don’t get to define the line, women do. And white people don’t get to define the line, racialized people do. And cis people don’t get to define the line, trans people do. And so on and so forth.

This reminds me of a quote post-election by David Mascriota, about his hometown in Indiana:

“The soft racist gets along with his black and Latino coworkers, waves to the Arab neighbors, and gives a friendly greeting to the parents of color at his child’s school, but all the while he feels that America is his country.…

This connects right up to the Hannah Gadsby article below. It’s so easy to condemn behavior (men) like this when you don’t know or care about the individual, or if you already think they’re slimeballs, but when it’s a beloved figure? Hoo-boy, it gets hard real fast.

Someone tweeted the photo of the service dog laying by 41's casket, with the Mission Accomplished title, and asked “did the dog assassinate him? Because that’s what this makes it sound like.

ok, 2 things

Cool!
