Go back to school, herb:

I don’t know. There are a ton of white superhero fans who are just as excited as we are.

Eagle Scout, Assistant Scoutmaster, and merit badge instructor here: This is fine.

Honestly, Scouting needs to be more inclusive if it wants to survive. The Mormon Church was unofficially running the show for a long time (hence the shitty track record towards the LGBTQ+ community), and only recently announced they…

It might be helpful for once if those who want abortion to be legal would simply admit that life begins sometime before the abortions happen, but that the nature of that life and the negative consequences of the pregnancy completely outweigh the normal consideration we would give to preserving life. Why is that so…

What did she do wrong? Do rapists not deserve attorneys? Then how would they ever be convicted?!

What did she do wrong? Maybe only evil men should be his lawyer?

So no woman attorney should ever defend someone accused of harassment or assault?

Exactly. He was going to have an attorney. Should any attorney who takes his case be tarred and feathered? It’s how we have a functional legal system.

Obviously you’ve never been on the receiving end; that’s not what it looks like.

Whoa, okay fair comment. Let me edit to say she is a person who has done decent things but her initial defense of HW combined with her book deal don’t make me necessarily think she is a decent person. Had she not gotten flack for it do you think she would have changed her mind?

I asked my 13 yo why she was using wire hangers when we have thick plastic hangers everywhere. She shrugged me off, so I sent her the youtube clip of “no more wire hangers!” Now she calls me “Mommie Dearest.” I did it to myself.

Yeah! How stupid to get mad at the guy who’s been sexually exploiting women for years!

No! No time for accuracy! MUST OUTRAGE NOW!

I think what Jez is doing here is beyond cynical and fucked up but... I believe it’s true. I have a amateur comic friend who... had an incident with him. Something about him trying to move her hand, her recoiling and saying “no, I don’t want to” and him reacting quite violently. I am paraphrasing from memory here, but…
