Do we have any info on what percentage that is? No matter how low, 1,000 people in uniform fired for sexual misconduct is...1,000 too many. But it’d be helpful to know what percentage we’re actually talking about here. I scanned the linked article and couldn’t find anything. If I missed it, feel free to let me know.

she hasn’t truly shared our experiences, but if, before she was “outted”, people viewed her as a black woman, then she knows what it’s like, generally, no? I mean, the biggest argument is that SHE CAN ALWAYS CHOOSE TO CHANGE HER MIND and go back to being white and that is the very definition of privilege that we do

ha, that was my initial gut reaction and i got mad at myself.

yes, police often mark the race of the person pulled over or arrested. this may vary by state, but I know they do in many places. im a crim defense attny and routinely look at police records.

Yes, I agree! Don’t give in to curious, polite people who consider themselves liberal and open-minded and genuinely seem to struggle understanding something they feel is important, and come to a website they trust for resolution from people they generally consider educated and helpful. THOSE SEA LIONS!

I hate that article from the Guardian. The entire piece begs the question by claiming the difference is that for Rachel it’s “an active choice” to be distinguished from transfolks’ “involuntary” choice. The author does not explain how it’s different.

i love all the double standards here. she’s republican so...not worth sticking by our morals, i guess? damn shame.

i HEAR that loud and clear, man.

I think that’s begging the question? Idk man. I have no dog in the fight. But if it is advisable, it’s not based on the logic that babies “can be” fine when their mothers do so.

Babies whose mothers smoke can also be fine. That doesn’t mean smoking is advisable.

born and raised, and made my way out. oh yeah, it was “bad bitch” not slutwalk. MY BAD. either way, thanks for the paradox. made my day. keep it up, sugar! you’re making friends all over this place. xx

you’re offended by the word “slutwalk” and in the same sentence you use the word “ghetto” in a derogatory way. maybe at least aim for consistency?

yeah, i’ve heard many ppl say that they knew. where is that being reported that’s a reliable source? not doubting it, just want to see for myself. link appreciated. thanks.

i’m sure it’s easier to paint pedophiles as sick fucks who are terrible people instead of understanding that they are human beings suffering from a serious illness that we need to research more and destigmatize so that offenders seek help BEFORE they ever commit a crime against a child. no sane, rational person wakes

yes. thank you.

that’s more a fiction than reality. most prisons now segregate child predators for their own protection, since assaults on pedophiles can lead to major lawsuits against prisons (for not protecting them). especially with such a high profile person like jared, i would be seriously shocked if he was in gen. pop. he’ll

ha, agreed! it also doesn’t seem like three years is so significant of a difference, but maybe it’s light years in the entertainment world, idk.

of course we can perceive it differently. you’re wrong though, and looking for a reason to make women the victim. waa. thanks for the gif, though, doll!

you really think he’s “slut shaming” her? he just seems hurt that she’s moved on, and I think that’s different. if i still want my ex back, and he’s moved on to the next, me being upset about it doesn’t mean i’m “slut shaming” him or upset that he’s sexually autonomous...

it’s not “rewriting” history to leave out a story that makes his family look bad. if the show chose to tell the story of the relative in question, and called him an abolitionist, that would definitely be rewriting history. if they told any significant part of that relative’s story and failed to mention the whole
