Why are you blaming someone’s mother? The 12 year old had been sexually assaulted by a family member. That is almost always a male family member.

Yes, girls totally have underwear anxiety, starting younger than men might think. In fourth grade (1971 I think), for some antiquated reason, all kids were examined for?? IDK some kind of public health initiative. Scoliosis, rickets, whatever, there were a lot of older mandates still hanging on since the Depression.…

What happened to “feminists can own their sexuality and express it as they see fit”? I thought that was the idea in whatever ‘wave’ we are now in.

How do you know she’s an abuse victim?

She was 35 when they married. Not a naive 20 something.

And gold lame may look nice but it’s not that comfortable, at least, when I worked in a casino (eventually bought by tRump but lucky me had saved enough to quit and go to college by then) the uniform I wore was trimmed in what I was told was gold lame. I found it to be itchy and rough. I think gold lame sheets to be…

Fiona, no matter how much gilt they sprinkle around their homes, the tRumps are not royal. And a number of important documents and wars were based on the fact that the U.S. does not want an aristocracy in any way, shape, or form. Our first president said this over and over so that no one would get the wrong idea about…

Agree Burner 613. She was 35, not 15 when she married him, the “art of the deal” was looks for $ (or at least the illusion of money, he may not really have that much).

Nicely said!

Which city were you in? I was a suffragette and at one point posed for a picture with another but didn’t get her name as my pals were still marching and I didn’t want to get lost.

The bottom of the totem pole is the most important! As you would know if you listened to the Indiginize reps.

<3 Had I seen your post I wouldn't have mentioned that.

It does no good to have human rights if the planet is uninhabitable for humans. So, even that counts. Besides, environmental degradation impacts women more than men in most nations. Look it up.

For people who don’t want to be stereotyped, people are throwing around a lot of stereotypes. Even if some percentage of white people voted for Trump, that doesn’t mean everyone there did. In fact, probably means they did NOT vote for Trump.

Who said that’s the first time the need arose?

Also, not taking flyers at a march or event means “I’m traveling light and don’t have room for a single thing beyond what I am carrying.” OR “I have ADHD and I’m going to lose it before I get home, and then it will just be another piece of trash on the mall for people to gripe about. Plus it cost you money to make…

Same thing in Philadelphia, a great representation of many different people. I turned to the women I was with at one point and said “This is great! It’s like all the cool peopel are here!”

Mary Wollstonecraft ( 27 April 1759 – 10 September 1797) was an English writer, philosopher, and advocate of women’s rights. As well as being Mary Shelley’s mother, Wollstonecraft is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). 

She knew what she was getting into. She wasn’t some medieval 15 year old from a noble family married off to a king in another region because her dad needed to consolidate some kind of power base. She understood “the art of the deal” - her ‘glamour’ for his money. It’s not very “left” to deny free agency to a 35 year…

This brings tears to my eyes. How can people not realize that these animals have feelings after all the years they’ve spent with their pets?
