If your big concern is gay rights, voting for Jill Stein is about the stupidest fucking thing you can do, since Donald Trump will strip those away posthaste.

I have really conflicted feelings about this because, on the one hand, fuck Nate Parker but on the other Nat Turner’s story is so important. There is obviously a part of me that wants this movie to fail because we shouldn’t support rapists but there’s also a part of me that wants this movie to succeed because maybe if…

There are, but the is a certain level of ‘we will take the necessary strides to help you, tell you, inform you, educate you, stop you, but after a certain point it’s your personal responsibility’. There are a ton of signs, a lot of information, more popular points and overlooks have fencing/barricades. They have…

There are regulations, but depending on the National Park, not always a lot of safety features. After all, there’s a limit to how much you can secure nature - it’s not like they can really build railings along the entire Canyon, or even along trails.

National Forests insulate visitors even less.

Nah. Murders in Chicago are near historic lows. More people were murdered in Chicago in 1928 than were murdered in 2015:

I wonder how many of the folks here in the comments saying what she said was ok are trans? Let’s reiterate for those who may be slow on the uptake: even if you disagree with someone, that doesn’t give you the right to undermine their identity with impunity. Don’t misgender trans folks.

As feminists, we are very ON IT — rightly and productively — when it comes to calling out the warping effect, and even damaging effect, that images of women can have on us all. Calling out photo-shopping, for example. But when it comes to images of women in porn, the desire to be sex-positive and avoid anything that…

I’m definitely not anti-porn, but I will absolutely say that a lot of it that has crossed my path has been frighteningly misogynistic and purposefully degrading to women.

Yeah, I also have to say I’m not really feeling any reason to shit on her for this. If it is helping her heal and find peace, I don’t really see the problem with it. But maybe that’s just because I doubt that any of the work she is doing will have much of an effect on people’s porn-viewing habits. Clearly, the…

Like any other addiction, pornography use can make an already sick person worse. I doubt if you’re healthy that moderate use of porn will change much about you.

I know this isn’t a really popular opinion outside of radical feminism but I think there should be a conversation about how early exposure to porn influences the way men see women. Namely, porn tends to treat female actresses like objects. I remember reading an article by a former porn actress who admitted that there…

You can’t know what’s going on with them, though. That’s the thing. HIS career suffered no serious setbacks because of the allegations, yet guilt by association is apparently enough to tank the career his wife (who has not, as far as I know, ever been accused of rape)?? They’re not actually the same person. Meanwhile,…

I have no idea if Broaddrick’s allegations are true or not, but her story is credible enough, and should be treated with sensitivity and seriousness.

I don’t know if Bill Clinton raped her or not, but I do find it odd that she seems to focus so much on ruining Hillary’s career over the issue. Her evidence that Hillary even would have known about the incident is shaky at best - Hillary shook her hand and said thank you, in what was perceived to be a menacing tone?…

THANK YOU. A pretty damn good description of the complexity of the sport. I think that’s why everyone who loves the discipline is type A to one degree or another, LOL! I grew up eventing but when I finally started to “get” dressage I was a convert. The precision is so challenging and when it’s right it feels so cool!…

*any horse

A short addendum: Think about spending a day in a pool or a lake and how exhausted you are when you finally go home. Floating around in water and riding a horse (just at a walk) require constant small muscle adjustments to move with and against the water/animal. So even when you’re doing “nothing” you’re actually…

You need wayyyyy more stars for that explanation.

Plus I appreciate the fact that equiestrian events are one of the few where older riders can have a pretty good edge, especially in dressage. More practice time, more time to perfect, and as long as you didn’t bust ya back along the way, you are every bit as capable of riding like a graceful, effortless master as a 19…

People discount the hell out of equestrian events because it’s “white, and rich” Well, yes some riders are both white, and rich. Many cases the riders are...not rich at all but sponsored by people with buku bucks. My mother rode Dressage and trained *very* hard, competing on someone elses fancy horse (who was of…
