Um, except for no credible eyewitness report or evidence indicates that MB was actually charging at the officer.

If the cop genuinely thought his life was in danger, I'll eat my hat.

So, like, if there weren't no ladies around to say "wash your dang truck," every truck would just be covered in mud all the time?

Yeah, ye olde country is pretty great, but the glossy production and mawkish sentimentality of modern country gives me a case of the harfs.

Why?

"But how are we supposed to tell the trans women apart from men who merely claim a transgender identity in order to prey on women and girls?"

Yeah, and how are we supposed to tell cis men who don't prey on women and girls from cis men who do prey on women and girls? LET'S LOCK THEM ALL UP.

One of the reasons why this is the case is because kids have always been regarded as property to some extent, but they've become more like status objects than ever these days. Another adult interacting with your kid is GANKING YOUR PROPERTY.

See, but: I have no problem saying that fetuses are human but abortion is nevertheless permissible because the needs and wishes of the woman carrying the fetus take precedent. It's not really that big a leap.

That little factoid is making me wonder if this shit is made up or what, because it makes absolutely no sense to force her to carry to semi-term and then perform a c-section at this stage. Some part of this story has to be missing (perhaps she was in pre-term labor or her life or the fetus's were otherwise…

This is beyond motherfucking nightmarish. Who could possibly read this and think that so-called "pro-life" laws are not a horrifying violation of human rights?

I'm glad that at the least, Gawker coverage is naming the police as the aggressors, not the protestors. From what I've read from alternative news sources, a lot of mainstream media is still obsessively focused on "looting," as though that were the real story here. It clearly is not.

Riiiiiiiiight.

i'm sure you give the same speech to homeless people, right? "If you just weren't so OBSESSED WITH MONEY, you'd be happier!"

I am going to go ahead and assume that with your "happiness is a choice" garbage, you've never actually been broke.

Money doesn't buy happiness, but being broke will make you miserable in much more concrete and sympathetic ways.

I'm sorry, this movie just pushes my freaking buttons because people say such offensive stuff to me about how taking meds is just the weak or lazy way out of my problems, and they get their ideas from horrible shit like this movie.

...but in the meantime, I have had slews of amateur shrinks calling me weak or lazy for taking 'em. BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE, ASSHOLE MOVIE.

Hey, Lonely McRichiepants? How about walking through the street and handing out some of your dough to people who need it, and maybe they'll be your friends.

The circa-late-90s idea that anything that makes you feel even a little good is "empowering" and thus feminist needs to DIE FOREVER. Basically I never want to hear the word "empowerment" again, and have coined the word "fempowerment" to describe faux-feminist bullshit like this.

It "sucks" because you, objectively, do not like fun.

I'm sorry meds didn't work for you, but those of us who need them very much (and still have emotions on them! like happy! and sad! and orgasm!) are really fucking tired of hearing people who have only heard stories like yours telling us that the best thing to do would be to get off our drugs.
