I am more amazed by the “I SLEPT W/YOU BECAUSE I LIKE YOU” quote.

You must be reeeeally confused. Because this story is not about hiring a prostitute.

Woohoo! This is excellent. All those TRAP laws have been chip chip chipping away at women’s rights for decades now, and even when we have been able to fight them back, we haven’t been able to get much of a foothold forward. We’ve gotten used to playing a defensive game. I’m really happy to see PP going on the attack.

Anyone else stuck in this weird spot where you’re generally happy/hopeful about the direction your own life specifically is headed, but the state of the world and the direction its heading constantly drags you down, so you want to just completely ignore and shut out the news, but you feel an obligation to keep…

A friend added to me to mom group once and wow, after a week I couldn’t take the awfulness anymore and exited. Any woman who talked about abuse was told to pray and let Jesus guide her, that the family was a pillar of God and it was her duty to be the kind of wife to her husband God intended. Any awful thing written…

It is very much both things, not just the cognitive dissonance. Just consider the construct of the ‘difficult/brilliant man who is worth the heartache’ popularised in films, TV and music - in fact most films who have won the Oscar Best Picture deal in this trope, with the accompanying ‘long-suffering wife’ trope.…

He pops a Tic Tac before he grabs them.

Poor Tic Tac, it will have to try to distance itself from Trump once again.

It is striking to me that our chief idiot is using the same argument as Pill Cosby’s defenders.

I think the key is keeping the momentum going. The reason why I don’t see this as effective is because often the Dems will do this kind of thing, then flake or lose their spine. We do need a diverse group of people going forward that are charismatic and bold.

To all those who will scoff at actions like Pelosi’s, and accuse the Democrats in Congress of lacking the will to pursue progressive goals, this is what it’s like when you are the minority party in the House and Senate, and have a Republican (???) president and a conservative judiciary. You do what you can to win…

Hope Hicks Dates Pricks.

Republican in the front, skinhead in the back.

People keep seeing ‘they’re trying to stop her abortion’. And thats all well and good...but its not the biggest issue.

TRUE SCIENCE FACT: President Trump is more closely related to a blobfish than a blobfish is related to a shark.

“...Jezebel was on the ground and spoke with attendees, who were optimistic about this seemingly newfound momentum—and concerned for the fight ahead.” [full stop]

I was seriously ill and hospitalized for more than a week on an emergency basis in late November and early December. The entire time I was in the hospital (Columbia Presbyterian, up near where I live), I didn’t tell a single, solitary person about my trans history, and just left all of it out (including the surgery)…

And this is the reason why I’m still very deeply closeted in front of both physical and mental healthcare professionals. Everyone sees me as a woman and I can deal with the gender dysphoria more than being dropped for being who I am.

Remind me again about how women’s rights are playing identity politics and they’re a distraction?
