Because women don’t deserve justice, of course.

And/or she told herself that. Which is exactly that which I would have done. Told myself that if I didn’t engage, his tiresome game would eventually lose steam; told myself that if I blocked him, he might escalate; told myself that this was his escape valve, and that to close it might lead to increasingly dangerous…

The constitutional right of the accused to confront the accuser. It’s something that does more good than harm, but it leaves victims of sexual abuse and stalking in horrible positions that often results in them refusing to testify. I’m not sure of the solution though. Ideas? Also while keeping in mind to change this…

Oh, Ashanti. They told you not to engage, didn’t they, and now he’s saying that your failure to engage was just proof that you wanted all that harassment. Fuck that guy, fuck the assholes who gave you bad advice, and here’s hoping he’s found guilty on all charges.

There is really only one solution here... Facebook’s AI and Google’s AI must play Go, to the death.

I didn’t mind the way she handled the karate thing. And I thought it was awesome how receptive the karate teacher was to the criticism!

Concurred in entirety. The request for censorship troubled me, and the one book is such a tiny drop in the bucket I don’t think it would help anyway. But talking with the child about the messaging was a great way to handle it! She can apply that lesson to everything.

I’m with the librarian about Point #2. You can’t expect a library to get rid of all the children’s books with subtle sexist messages. Even if the library just got rid of all the books with OVERT sexist messages, it wouldn’t carry any European fairy tales. (Except Hansel and Gretel. Gretel’s a badass.) I think the…

I love Harry Potter so much but it doesn’t scale. It works in the confines of a school in a small country. Trying to apply it world wide is where you run into massive problems because not everything can fit into it’s sandbox (how would the magical community explain the Holocaust?). American history is particularly…

I think he meant masculinity.

Not to be THAT internet commenter, but my partner is old friends with Kyle Martino from their soccer days, and has been ribbing him about it all day since he saw the NYPost story. Kyle maintains that it is true. Of course it’s possible there’s something HE’S hiding from everyone, but I mean...he’s also really fucking…

“He sent the message at 6:25 p.m., then told his mother he was leaving the house to visit a friend and not to expect him home for dinner. He made a short drive to a remote corner of the Fairhaven Kmart parking lot. At 6:28 p.m., he called Carter and talked to her for 43 minutes. At 7:12, she called him. The call…

The CDC can’t “advocate” in the way you are talking about. They are limited in what they are allowed to do and what sorts of recommendations they can make. Recommend that women avoid alcohol if it’s possible they might be or will shortly become pregnant? That’s easier to do and not have Congress puke on them than…

So I help out a charity that runs free advanced driver safety course for teens, we had an event in Pomona at the fair grounds this weekend. The first thing we talk about is any recent traffic deaths, every event we have something major in LA or Orange County to talk about. This weekend it was this. One of the parents…

“you wear skechers and i wear yeezys” just instantly cleared up my sinus headache. happy friday!

I was recently in Europe, and despite the stereotype that Euros are more health conscious than Americans, I was shocked at how much they smoke. I felt like I was back in the early 90s USA.

get skinny and stay skinny the natural way, folks. with a crippling nicotine addiction! enjoy this matching virginia slim outfit to wear when you accidentally cough up a piece of your lung

so why go for the low-hanging fruit of a birth defect?

Luckily (and hopefully) your son’s condition was fixed without complication so he doesn’t go on to kill six million people.

It could have something to do with the fact that Black Widow is a second rate "hero". Maybe they are waiting for some decent heroes like Jessica Jones, Carol Danvers, Jennifer Walters and Squirrel Girl. Hell, where is my Jessica Drew figure :(
