Right. What the South Carolina prosecutor is basically saying is, "Excuse me, we created these laws so white men can shoot black people with impunity. They aren't supposed to apply to women defending themselves against men!"

In all seriousness, the advice I got (directed at women who want to be strong leaders and taken seriously in the workplace) says Merkel gave the PERFECT response.
Not only that, being late with no prior notice is a power play. It's the attempt to 'prove' that you're more powerful than the person you're meeting with by forcing them to wait to meet with you.
The woman's no-nonsense pantsuits scream "I don't have time for your shit." If the chancellor of a notoriously punctual world power makes time for your shit? Be on time for your shit.
I was raised that being on time is a show of respect. I HATE when people are late, especially when they don't call to tell you they're running late, then have the audacity to catch an attitude when you go ahead and eat without them. The mother fucking reservation said 8:00, not 9:00, go fuck yourself because I'm…
GOD PUTIN IS SUCH A CUNTFUCKPENISFACE UGH
She doesn't have to care. His country's economy is in the shitter and she's sitting on the leader of Europe's economies.
White men, specifically. White men standing their white ground against those scary non-white people.
So having a high pitched voice means you sound ditsy? No, no it doesn't.
God knows I'm not a big fan of Stand Your Ground, but there's something especially infuriating about the fact you're gonna have that kind of law... and then... say it doesn't apply to domestic abuse victims? It just makes me feel like my head's gonna pop off and roll down the stairs.
Silly women. Defense is for men!
That just happened. That sentence was A Thing That Was Said.
It's literally making my head spin there's so much irony here.
Our concern is that the statute makes it very easy for people to shoot or stab first and to then exaggerate their fear or the real danger
HE decided not to touch her? Fuck. I assumed that maybe it was because she felt so insecure about the surgery that she maybe didn't want to be touched. That isn't love. I can't imagine my future husband going through cancer, going through a horrific surgery, and not cuddling him forever. I would be so happy he was…
I'm in my mid-40s and as far back as I can remember, my grandparents slept in separate twin beds. This was always just the way it was, and I never questioned it until a few years ago and those words I posted were a direct quote from my mom. After his death, she told me a little bit more detail about his behavior…
What legitimate discourse? GamerGate hasn't delved into examining the ethical issues in video game journalism at all. What they have done is a lot of slut-shaming, making threats and acting like complete assholes.
You're a bit backwards, here. GG was created specifically *for* harassing women - at the time, it was specifically Zoe Quinn, although it quickly spread to 'everyone who GG sees as a "SJW" scumbag'. It was only later that others began to claim, "Nuuu, it's about game journalism! It's totally a righteous cause!" even…
Gamergate, first coined by actor Adam Baldwin, is an amorphous campaign that is ostensibly about ethics in video game journalism and defending the "gamer" identity but has come under fire for its links to a wave of harassment, particularly of women, in gaming.
