Whatever you do, do not read the comments in the article.If the measure of any society is how it treats the least among them, then we are truly headed to hell in a hand-basket. When we justify Police officers beating on children and call the children animals (or worse) we have a HUGE problem.

I have a little experience with the therapy myself, so perhaps my anecdotes will suffice. my therapist performed the therapy with a visual stimulation. Basically we’d begin on a topic, typically a negative feeling i was having, and then she’d wave a wand in front of my face. Which sounds INCREDIBLY stupid when i type…

this is a great article.

As a fan I’m clearly biased, but Massive Attack is really killing it with the tracks and videos from this new EP. I haven’t been this excited about them since MEZZANINE.

Well motherfucker. A law school, in progressive crunchy Berkeley, in which the accused admitted what he did. It doesn’t get more clear-cut and accuser-friendly than that. And a sister still can’t catch a fucking break.

Hello, asshole, apologizing doesn’t actually remove the harm you did, it just shows that you’re doing the bare social minimum required to not get called out on it.

I’m glad she included the bit about the dude apologizing, and that it didn’t actually make her feel better. This is a whole part of it. “Hey, sorry I sent you a dickpic/called you a slut/grabbed your tits/sent you that explicit email. I don’t know what I was thinking.” “Well, this doesn’t actually make me feel better…

Okay trademark “nice guys,” want to explain yet again how rejection is so much worse than MURDER? Fuck.

I can’t even imagine what you’re going through. Just know we’re out there. :)

My sister, her partner, and I went out for Margarita Monday a while back. This sort of thing happened, and I was like ughhhhhh. They were both laughing like no big deal, we get this all the time. I wanted to cut people’s throats and they were dealing with it in their way by laughing and giving people the face. You…

I think the thing is, you never get to decide for another person whether or not they’d “rather know” or “rather not.” I don’t know how I’d react if my partner told me he was cheating — whether I would want to work it out, whether I’d need a break, etc. I might be really unhappy knowing. But he doesn’t get to pick for…

Same! I was one of those “Well, only in rape or incest or life of the mother...” assholes when I was young. It was once I had my daughter that I re-evaluated my stance. I would never want her to think she is obligated to have a child if she doesn’t want to. Some people treat it as if it’s some sort of punishment for…

Additionally, as far as I can tell, in the house vote, Rep. Tona Rozum [R] was the lone Republican to vote against the party line. On the other hand, Reps. Dean Schrempp [D] and Ray Ring [D] voted in favor of the bill.

Sen. Peters nay vote is telling because she’s the mother of teenage boys. In another blog, she was quoted as voting against it because it was a non-issue from her experiences interacting with her sons’ classmates.

At 13, I was uncomfortable in general. But our bathrooms have stalls. And these are not just a boy dressed as a girl (like a prank). They act like girls, want to be girls. And they have insecurities like all 13 yr old girls. We didn’t shower for gym class, not enough time. If the school does have kids shower, offer…

The parents of trans girls don’t want their daughters to use the bathroom with young men who are going through their natural hormonal changes, either, especially since that poses far more of a risk to them than to a cis girl sharing a bathroom with a trans girl.

Trans girls aren't young men. And, if they're going through any hormonal changes, it's probably the same ones your daughter would be going through, because we have modern medicine now that does such things. So, how about you either take a chill pill, or have the decency to own your transphobia. Don't hide behind your…

OK, you’re clearly enthusiastic and I was going to let this go, but I see you’re ejaculating all over the comments with this spunk so I can’t.
