Asking a woman who paid for her seat to move because it doesn’t coincide with your religious belief isn’t like not selling a cake to gay couple, it’s worse. At least the baker is screwing over his own business and losing money. This guy is forcing someone else who paid for her seat to move only for his personal…

True, most religions have a certain population of “hardcore practitioners” that are a problem. The heredim in Israel are a problem that the country has ignored/appeased for a long time. The heredim have way more sway in how the country runs than they should, simply because people are afraid of setting them off. During…

He is actually great in this role. It’s a shame they steered so far away from its source material in order to force another GD procedural down our throats.

Lucy, i mean Tom Ellis can step by my place at any time

I could never have an ounce of respect for anyone who said with a straight face that ghosts existed. Period. Could not agree more. I mean, why stop there? Maybe there’s a tooth fairy too.

Nah, it IS easy, we just make it complicated because we start from the position that everyone’s beliefs are inherently worthy of being respected.

They aren’t. I don’t care if that makes me sound uncaring. But it’s the 21st goddamn century and this superstitious bullshit and the kowtowing we do for it has got to fucking…

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…

“we all have to fuck the goat” is my new patriarchy metaphor i think

People feel reluctant to admit any sort of grey area because they’re worried their adversaries are going to perceive it as weakness and run with it, so they default to a sort of Manichean mindset.

Arguably every interaction has some element of coercion. I think the case of Lori Maddox and David Bowie is a great illustration of this. If Lori was 30 it would still be coercion since a superstar of timeless fame will never ben equal in power to a groupie.

The reasons for every relationship and interaction are…

It really is a hard thing to judge people historically using current social standards. As Solnit points out, in the 70's in California, both men and women lacked the vocabulary to express (and even imagine) a way to mark predatory behavior as predatory. We all imagine we would know better if we were plunged into…

Is it rape or is it not?

Yeah, but this is inapplicable to her. She still believes, as an adult, that it was not coercion. It bothers me when people take the narrative away from the person they are claiming was a victim. It’s her story and her decision to determine whether she was a victim or not.

Where does this narrative end, though?

Kanyes’s new line is um, interesting.

Why don’t any of these morons know that a “lame duck” president is a sitting president after the next president is elected? So from November to January of their last term. The entire last year of the last term does not make a president a “lame duck”!

“Given the information failures we all have, why are so many people on here content to jump to the conclusion that he’s some philandering d-bag?”

I totally sympathize with Rebel Wilson post smooch. “Ohh....my God...where am I? I was just in a beautiful place...” Eddie Izzard dials my buttons and pushes my switches, ifyaknowottaImean.

*snicker* Dirty, dirty EdgewareAnnie! lol
