so somebody posts an article which not a few women find hurtful and the defense is that it’s satire? where have i heard that before....

I like that we’re judging the head of the Catholic Church roughly the same way I judge the stuff my 8 year old nephew makes in his pottery class.

The idea of “leave at the first sign” is slap in the face to the many women who will experience abuse for the first time when pregnant, after leaving work. That is actually a very common time for partners to turn abusive: during a first pregnancy when a woman is physically vulnerable and economically dependent.

How does this increase awareness? It literally just throws a virtual fist in women’s faces. It doesn’t give any helpful information.

“Don’t let it get ugly.” The subtext being, if it does get ugly, it’s because you let it. This is the same kind of garbage as those PSAs that put the onus on women not to get raped. It’s never about telling men not to rape, not to abuse - it’s always about telling us how not to get raped or get abused. And before…

Men definitely need education regarding not being abusive and how to disagree with their partners without shutting them down as crazy or with violence.

Can’t do any worse.

Er. My eyes are dislocated from all the rolling they do at #notallniceguys, but even I’m a little crept out by this one. Is this a real organization? I can think of better ways of selling “leave at the first sign” than “be paranoid, men on your screen are waiting to attack you”. Not to mention maybe not wonderful for…

This comment isn’t creepy at all.

Amandla is a common South African name, it means Power in the Xhosa and Zulu language and was a protest call for blacks in the apartheid struggle. I used to think her name was silly too until I looked it up

It makes me kind of sad that a 16-year-old kid named Amandla-with-an-L can talk about The Hunger Games and still make better points about Baltimore than Obama’s.

Bread to go along with the potato? Say what now?

It’s the same thing as going to the doctor, but you talk to the provider via videoconferencing. A nurse or nurse practitioner examines you, the doctor talks to you about the results, and the nurse gives you the pills. States have banned nurse practitioners from performing abortions, even though they’re perfectly…

Did he use an arm bar? No.

an acceptable way of voicing dissent

I’d rather a thesaurus to help them pinpoint the many ways you can go fuck yourself.

It’s the end of day, so my eyes are a little sore, but I read the article twice and I can’t find the phrase “peaceful protest” or anything akin to it anywhere in this article. Can you point it out to me?

She called it a violent protest. What exactly is the problem?

He could have done literally anything else beside slam her down face first (if you look at the other video, he airlifts her and pivots her face first into the floor, with a horrifying crack). It’s not like she was a 300lb whacked out guy brandishing a kitchen knife; she was a tiny unarmed drunk woman, with stringbean…
