So, currently preggos and can't get the TDaP EVAR due to an actual bad reaction as a bebeh. Also, have a very new, very possibly I will go on a rampage if he catches measles from some unvaxxed nutfuck, baby nephew who I love and adore and seriously I will cut a bitch if he gets sick.

Increased insurance premiums seems like such a no brainer that I can't believe that that wasn't already a thing.

Cue to being called sheep and big pharma conspiracies. Three, two, one....

How's your "family" of "vaccine" "researchers"? I mean, mom-and-pop businesses are hurting in this economy, especially if you are in biotech R&D.

Increased insurance premiums, no child tax credit, no public schools or universities.

Public registry for anti-vaxxers. Just like with sex offenders, your neighbors should know who you are and Disneyland should be able to tell you you're not invited.

Is your mom proud of all that you've accomplished? That is, cultivate a presence on a website designed for freshmen in college who've just taken a women's studies course and don't know how obnoxious they sound to the rest of the world yet?

can you read

pretty much.

the fact that most juries are sympathetic to these rapists because their 'futures would be ruined' makes me so angry. it's just mind boggling that these horrendous criminals have the audacity to have a victim complex inspite of what they did.

your comment would be relevant if anyone was suggesting either throwing out the whole institution or requiring perfection. "everybody is flawed" is meaningless. so we do nothing? does that outlook apply to everything? well there are people who are starving, so let's not try to cure cancer. well there are people who…

GTFO with this "bad apples" nonsense. If it really was just a few bad apples then when rapes did occur the frats/universities/authorities would do everything in their power to do right by both victims and the rule of law. Instead the entire machinery of the aforementioned institutions goes into full-on CYA mode.

You can, if all it breeds is racist, classist, mysoginist leaders to go on and carry on institutionalised racism, classism and mysoginy. Not all traditions are good, ya know? Look at slavery.

It's telling, still, that the best and most practical idea I heard all weekend is predicated on the worst, most misogynist impulses. From a sorority sister of mine whose actual sister—also a UVA alum—is now a police officer who works with victimized women: "Make it a taboo for frat boys to hook up with blackout…

genpop! genpop! genpop! genpop!

I've been reading comments and getting so upset at the judgement without understanding all the factors, and then you show up. Thank you. I stayed with my husband through so much shit. I felt isolated, we moved to Louisiana and my closest family was 9 hours away. I didn't work because day care is fucking expensive and…

I've never posted here before but always lurked. As a survivor of domestic violence, the responses here really sadden me.

Yes - I mean, I don't know the situation, but it's highly unlikely he wasn't abusing her - at least emotionally. Manipulating her...abuse makes your reality disappear. Her sense of logic and her instincts would be all twisted; she'd do things that don't make sense out of desperation (not taking the baby to the…

There is so much victim blaming going on here. Sure, perhaps the mother is also a monster, or, more likely, she is a also a victim of this terrible man's abuse. Domestic violence isn't just physical - it's more than likely that he was exerting a LOT of power over her - emotionally, psychologically, financially, and…

My other thought is, if she had access to affordable day care, maybe she would have gotten away from that sick bastard more easily as well.
