I can...

...with duct tape and Ambien.

Because the dominant class (in terms of gender) and the one that the system is intended to benefit is cisgender men. Some people like to use the term "kyriarchy" instead, on the grounds of it being more specific and intersectional.

As another person who struggles with math, I hope I can put this in a more understandable way :)

Statistics is much more about groups than individuals and studies are as well, because they make heavy use of statistics. If a studies says that children born in April are more likely to be kidnapped by wyverns, it doesn't…

2/14 here. My mom always used to make strawberry cake from the mix because they were pink. I like strawberries. I like (most) cakes. I believe I would like strawberry cakes made with real strawberries. But keep that pink, fake-strawberry monstrosity away from me.

Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me Man, did I solicit thee
From Darkness to promote me?

I think 3-1's point was that someone who is visibly carrying a weapon is probably going to receive significantly less sexual harassment than someone who isn't, not that they'd shoot innocent people.

I think henriettamoose really nailed it, but I'd like to add that the virgin/whore dichotomy (the idea that women are either chaste, virtuous paragons or licentious, wicked whoresluts) is very outdated*, and more importantly, it denies women the complexity of character that is allowed to men. It's a misogynistic view…

Yeah, she could've gone to the hospital.

It was her boyfriend's mother, who thought she had made it up to avoid her cooking *eyeroll* Thankfully the boyfriend realized what she was doing and said something.

Probably, yeah :(

I've done some work with Native artifacts and also studied my local Native cultures and histories in an academic setting. I have run into way too many people who think that "the Native-American culture" or "the Native-American language" are actually things that exist.

That must be awful. Do you ever get people who don't believe you and try to make/trick you into eating shellfish? My cousin has similar allergies and once someone knowingly and intentionally tried to give her something with crab in it without telling her.

In before "America is a melting pot, therefore I get to be a jackass" comments.

Some kids require more work than others. My newest niece (~1 month old) wants to be held. Constantly. If you try to be sneaky and set her down after she falls asleep, she'll wake up in about half an hour. And of course she shows her displeasure by crying.

Silkie hens are too cute to eat...also, the black meat would creep me out.

But I will never feel bad about eating rooster. I have yet to find one that isn't a vile little creature.

I think that was before, actually—she said he was an *~indigo child~*, indigo-ness being a pseudocondition that parents diagnose their children with in order to make themselves feel better.

As someone who has ADHD, I really hate parents who pull this crap. The various conditions that fall into indigo territory are not…

Even if vaccines did cause autism in a small amount of children who receive them (which they don't, obviously)...getting vaccines means that your child has a higher likelihood of becoming autistic, but not getting them means that your child has a higher likelihood of dying of an infectious disease.

I understand that…

Snarky textbooks are the best.

Um, I was making a joke, sweetheart. People do it a lot.

Where are you that people live for 50 million years?

I admire your restraint. To me, there's something really gross about calling a child "princess" or "prince." Maybe because most of the people I've seen do it spoil their children rotten? IDK.

You seem to lack any knowledge of the complexity of the two concepts, but I have better things to do than teach you Psych 101.

Adios.
