Coworker of the cosplayer; I saw the whole thing go down. So perhaps I can clarify a few things I’ve seen brought up in other comments:

He said “we paid for you” and also didn’t respond to her “stop” and “no.” Maybe it sounds very radical fem but camera lens can be male gazey and with the non consent here this feels kind of rapey (no, that doesn’t undermine actual rape...this is a different degree but in my understanding there is a spectrum of…

Idk, there’s a pretty popular play on Broadway about it. Can’t remember the name...

This is a wonderfully written piece with a rather glaring error: you don’t owe your kids money, you owe it to the women who relied on their own income to clothe, house, and educate the children you love.

I’m probably being a huge asshole but I have trouble understanding how the non-custodial parents not paying child support are the victims here.

I think Canada inserted a proxy mandate for this subset of crimes. Dude wants to represent himself, fine, he can do that. But he MUST have a court officier handle the questioning of the accuser. He can do all the other stuff on his own, and he can confer with the court officer about what questions he wants posed but…

Ah yes, shall we just return to the mashed potato and twist to satisfy your generational needs?

I really think the illustrator was a terrible match for this book. The cutesy, cartoony, Disney-esque style makes it seem far too cheerful. Even if the text did a decent job trying to address the complexity of the issue, (though from a scan of reviews, it does’t-I’d love to find a full version of the text somewhere),…

Was it always in his mind to run away? (Probably. Wouldn’t it be in yours?) Or did it come after he was sent back to Mount Vernon? After Washington decided, “hey, you’re the best chef I’ve got but I’m going to send you back to the countryside and have you make bricks instead to show you I’m boss.” That’s how much…

Hercules was most likely not super amped about baking George Washington a birthday cake since he actually ran away on Washington’s birthday.

Yes, how dare she, as a woman, be multi-dimensional and have multiple thoughts at once. shame.

I also base my social awareness on reality shows. Like, have you ever noticed that every group of people contains exactly one gay guy? Weird.
