So it’s actually rape that makes you go blind, not masturbation.

This saddens me. Now there is literally no way he’ll see the inside of a jail cell.

I don’t understand why the creepy baby-part-picture trucks are hovering around the RNC. Isn’t that sort of preaching to the choir? I mean, you already have the most snarlingly angry anti-choice folks who can also remain presentable enough to be publicly elected to anything right there in front of you, who are you…

I call so much bullshit on this.

I don't think you're in Cleveland. Check a map.

Did you accidentally go to a local arts and crafts fair and not the RNC?

Today I present a challenge to you two: get the most bizarre quote you possibly can from an attendee, now this may seem easy but the real challenge is of all the wild things you will hear today how will you choose just one to be the defining quote of Day 2?

The US government was inspired by the Iroquois Confederacy. That is an American Indian government that was able to unite six tribes. Suck on that, Steve King.

Sure Jan.

I’ve got a boisterous Republican family member on Facebook. He was a Cruz fan, now “reluctantly supports Trump”. There’s no talking to these people without them shouting “you don’t think I’m capable of voting my mind?”. Anything you say or do comes off as paternal hectoring.

I feel like stories about employers abusing their nannies, maids, etc. are very common. Why is that? I’d love to read more about it if anyone knows any studies done on the topic.

Ducks for Hunters

What really gets me is that Trump’s supporters criticize Hilary because her husband was unfaithful while simultaneously supporting a man who everyone knows cheated on his first wife.

I keep telling myself that at some point Trump will say to Clinton “You couldn’t control your husband, how can you control the US?” so she can reply “You couldn’t make your own daughter’s business manufacture its products in the US, how are you going to make Apple/Nabisco/Ford/etc do it?”

I just keep wondering what kind of human being thinks it’s OK to make fun of Hillary for her husband cheating on her. Can those people please wear signs so I can make sure I never speak to one of them?

Angels for Satan

Bless you for sitting through that. The third-hand embarrassment is so strong I had to cover my face and read your summary through a gap between my fingers.

Also, can we stop calling them ‘honor killings’? It’s murder, plain and simple. The root of the motive may be sexist, patriarchal cultural ideas, but it’s still murder. Calling it ‘honor killings’ implies there a legitimate reason for it, or that culture can be used an excuse. It cannot.

MISOGYNY is poison and it kills women by the thousands every day. Take the fundamentalism away, you will still have misogyny. It finds a different container (viz Atheist bros). MISOGYNY is everywhere in every belief and non-belief system. It’s bigger than fundamentalism by far. I’ll die fighting this war and it won’t…
