glad you said #PrisonBae, because that is the only and correct name (hashtag included)

lol

Same. I was scouring the page for his age. So weird.

Also, if you’re curious about why I didn’t cite Miranda, it’s because I was offering an example of a disadvantageous judge-made law that undermines civil rights, rather than one that enhances it.

Please get a basic understanding of American jurisprudence. It’s a part of the function of judges to also create laws when there is a need to create clarity in similar, but distinctive, cases. These new “rules” are referred to as common law. This isn’t something taught in secondary education, hence the responses like…

Good point.

Perhaps. But the point is that they really just want to be around other women.

I responded to somebody down thread about this. But in their statutory interpretations, American judges may sometimes create new legal doctrines referred to as “judge-made” law, which is used interchangeably with the terms “case law” and “common law.”

“ But if the “further injustice” does help, and remedies itself at the point that it eliminates the original injustice, there’s value in that.”

First, I was addressing your claim that women are trying to eschew anti-discrimination laws by operating clubs like The Wing. Depending on the specific case, discrimination could be perfectly legal. Thus, your broad claim that women fighting for these types of spaces think the laws “don’t apply to [them]” is not…

I’m not discussing whether this particular space is an “injustice” or not, which I assume you’re using as shorthand for unlawful. I don’t think The Wing is operating lawfully. But that wasn’t what I was addressing.

True.

And thank you for the outrageously basic civics lesson on the two branches of government.

“We were supposed to learn that a very long time ago.”

Yeah, I guess apartheid wasn’t a thing or whatever.

Uhhh, that’s not how discrimination laws work. There is no blanket, “all discrimination is illegal” doctrine. Governments and businesses are discriminatory all the time. There are dress codes. There are businesses that don’t allow you to be on the property if you haven’t paid for service there. There are places that…

Unfortunately, a lot of this has nothing to do with sexual attraction. It’s a power trip. They get off on making people uncomfortable, particularly a group they think is weaker than them. Got a remedy for that?

Judges don’t just “follow” the law. They create it. Y’know, like the laws that said blacks were inferior and should be separate but equal.

It’s already pink and feminine and seems to be doing just fine attracting professional women.

The same reason Abby whatserface targeted minorities instead of all the white legacy recruits at UT Austin because her mediocre ass didn’t get an acceptance letter: to be obnoxious and prove a point.
