Which is exactly why i said, "polygamy as an institution has a pretty bad history to overcome before I will view it with anything other than suspicion."

Harassment and threats aren't covered under free speech. They put it great in this quote "the best way to ensure equally free speech for all users on their platform is to ensure that all users are equally free to speak without being targeted by harassment, abuse and threats."

Yes all examples of polygamy as an institution are bad and I stand by that. I went into the history of polygamy and what it does and I've lived in a country and culture that allows such practices so I'm not spreading bigotry, i'm spreading exactly what I know about it from first hand experience and what we know from…

I completely agree that it should be about all non-violent criminals. I don't think they only they focused on women because they think women are more innocent or more child like though, I think the reason for that was because women have dependent children. So it does society more harm because a lot more people are…

Question, would you feel the same way if your friend was a dude? Could you be friends with someone who was having an affair with a married woman? Would your feelings be the exact same?

I don't understand why so many people are giving you a hard time about this. I think you did a good job handling your friend's situation and helping her through it. One thing that I find so weird about her situation and stories like this is, did your friend not care about being cheated on? I mean in a situation like…

You can't cheat on your spouse if you can't find a person to help polish your knob.

Maybe you should learn how to read. "What private arrangements people come to are their own business, but polygamy as an institution has a pretty bad history to overcome before I will view it with anything other than suspicion." So good for you and your husband and boyfriend for the private arrangement you 3 have and…

That's what happened with me. I grew up kind of sheltered and almost had sex in 8th grade, when I didn't even really know what sex was. My thought process at the time was, I like kissing and don't mind getting naked so said yes when my boyfriend asked me. Thank god we didn't have a place to do it so it never happened.…

Frankly, I try thinking about the institutional and legal changes that would have to be made to adjust to state-recognized polygamous marriages, and my head starts to hurt. What does divorce mean? What about community property? What about child custody? Etc. For example, A is married to B and C. A has a baby, and B…

I admit that I'm pretty biased against polygamy, given that most, if not all, real examples of it tend to be bad for women and low-status boys and men. Theoretically, it could be great, but we don't live in a theoretical world. What private arrangements people come to are their own business, but polygamy as an…

I don't think that's a fair assessment. I knew a lot of celebrity nudes had been leaked around that time but I didn't see much discussion or names of any of the other celebrities other than Lawrence. This included white women and WOC who's pictures were stolen and posted online. So it's unfair to say that it was…

As Aziz Ansari explained it so eloquently, "If you look up feminist in the dictionary, it just means someone who believes men and women have equal rights... I feel like if you do believe that men and women should have equal rights, if someone asks if you're a feminist, you have to say yes, because that is how words…

I agree! Honestly the only good reason I can think of for not identifying as a feminist publicly is to avoid all the hate and threats that may come your way. Which only goes to show how much more support this movement needs.

Why are you so upset that she may be upper middle class from a suburban area with a supportive family? There is nothing wrong with any of those things yet you speak of it as if it were something evil. She is very fortunate. Do you expect her to be apologetic about that? It's not like the woman is putting those women…

That sounds genius but I'd be afraid he would kill me in my sleep

Seriously! Who the fuck raised such a monster!?! It sounds like he was referring to something that happened on a show or something to a TV character. I would be disturbed by a comment like that even if it was about an innocent fictional character and this was about an actual woman who was murdered and he's speaking to…

I don't think he sees women as actual human beings. That's why hearing about one dying didn't prompt any empathetic emotions because women's lives and feelings just aren't important and just not something he can relate to as a human. The kid on the other hand is a human in his eyes and therefore he can empathize. I'm…

I think it's because people don't trust that other people wash their hands and the thought of that is much grosser than gloves used to touch food for most people.

The very first thing I said in my reply was, what happened to you is rape. I didn't shrug it off at all, it was the very first thing I acknowledged. I did that because it was more important than everything else I had to say, so how do you see that as me shrugging it off? You obviously only see the things you want to…
