Yes, it’s funny how the focus on female “empowerment” has somehow so quickly circled back to sex, and in particular the very things that give men pleasure! In the interest of full disclosure: I like sex, and I even enjoy taking a submissive role in sex sometimes. I don’t feel guilty about it, because I know the real…

I think it’s part of the ‘cool girl’ thing. Trying to be the opposite of the stereotype of the frigid bitch who only does missionary and miiiiight maybe give you a blowie on your birthday. “I’m not LIKE other girls. I loooove sucking dick.” Like, okay, maybe you do like it. But also, you don’t have to? It’s okay if…

Yeah, the guilt! They prey on the way women have been conditioned to please.

I definitely had a boyfriend who was *shocked* that I didn't want him to 'skullfuck' me while he choked me. "Women in porn like it." But he was an asshole of the highest magnitude, and no other man that I've been with has been at all like that.

These are all very, very interesting points. I see a lot of wisdom in what you are saying. I had written a whole thing about how hyper-sexuality also comes from media, and that women are not the driving force behind the idea that women should look, behave and perform a certain way, but I deleted in attempt to be…

I’m very liberal-leaning but I have to admit I worry about the impact of the flow of never-ending hardcore porn into the minds of adolescents who, yes, always had hormones driving curiosity, and always sought out Playboys or Playgirls from that curiosity, but now have a flow of the most esoteric and depraved acts…

Public health crisis? No- Mike Pence is a public health crisis. Trumpenhumper is a pandering, low-life flip flopper but Pence? Now there is someone who knows from public health crises.

It’s a fancy way of saying “I’m a two year old, and have no internal censor”.

Why didn’t he have to give that disclaimer at the end? “At 12, I wasn’t interested”okkkkkk buddy.

Yeah like wtf? I hate when people praise “telling it like it is”. WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT ACTUALLY MEAN? Does it mean that you have zero impulse control? Does it mean that you don’t think before you speak? Telling it like it is, to me, is the mark of a stupid person.

Remind me again why some people think Donald Trump is the guy who tells it like it is and refuses to pander? It’s because they like the racism, right?

It might help to donate to Distributing Dignity. They give pads and tampons (and bras) to women in need, not women in prison, but it’s something.

I had a friend who told me her period started while she was spending a night in jail. She asked for a pad and was refused, even though blood was running down her legs. She was only in jail the one night, and was able to get cleaned up the next day, but still. This was Winnipeg circa 1990 and she was white, if that…

It’s a set-up to fail. Kudos on managing it! But oh this is so wrong.

As someone who had to go through this, I can attest to the difficulties.

And then there was that long pause where she’s trying to figure out how to phrase something before she finally says,”That would be inappropriate.” I think her prior sentence was “What you should do is...” and then the long pause. She is all but blinking out “SUE THESE ASSHOLES” in Morse code.

I love that she basically told the woman to sue (as she should!): “There’s only one way that’s going to get corrected, if you know what I mean.”

The thing about Cruel and Unusual punishment (I’m not saying this is the way it should be, just the way it is) is that it has to be both. Punishment can be cruel OR unusual. Just not both. So if it is common for women to be denied showers, it is not unusual. And therefore acceptable in the eyes of the law.

Recommending 75 days for not completing diversion for a first time shop lifting charge? I’m also curious how she failed to complete the program, given that some of this usually involves paying fees.
