A friendly note from your local abortion care worker — saying things like “No one WANTS to have an abortion. No one ENJOYS it. No one is saying that it’s not a physically and emotionally draining, last-resort to an unwanted pregnancy” is super anti-abortion and stigmatizing. Plenty of people DO want the abortion they…
No comment in this thread is going to top this one.
I’d hit that.
Puh-leeze with this headline. No it didn’t. Just because he told them that or the police want to push that narrative doesn’t mean we have to carry the water for them.
no, sexism, male entitlement, and self-importance made him do it.
Nah, they’re scared gay men will treat them the way they treat women.
I mean...this is cool but...why is THE INSTITUTION not paying anything? Why is this being paid for only by the students and not the institution itself? It’s great that the students feel so strongly...but the school should really match whatever it is that the students are collectively paying, or at least contribute in…
Oh, but correcting this widespread lie would spoil the freedom-fighter narrative!
I feel it’s important to continually note: the rape charges weren’t dropped. He hid from authorities long enough the statute of limitations for all but 1 charge expired. And Sweden hasn’t dropped that charge.
They want to pay slave games? Let’s play Haitian Revolution.
Joy Behar was an accomplished comedian and performer before the view. Can you please tell me other than being the daughter of a politician what has Megan McCain accomplished to have the position she currently sits in. My credentials? I am not sitting on television being rude to women who have accomplished more than I…
No one is sexualizing children by affirming their stated sexuality. If homophobia didn’t exist, a big deal wouldn’t need to be made to make LGBTQ children feel safe and accepted to counteract the rest of the world. But it does. And you’re not being honest if you think heterosexuality is not assumed and “celebrated”…
Yeah, I figured it out at about 9 years old (that I like boys and girls). Kids know. Transpeople know from even younger ages.
That’s a topic that folks want to keep away from. You can mention this in every colorism-related comment section, it will be glossed over.
“Why is this ok?! A child doesn’t know who they are at this age.”
I definitely support this. But I gotta say, I wish the discussion surrounding colorism would branch past eurocentric beauty standards, dating, and media representation. Don’t get me wrong, that’s important and it matters. But colorism goes far beyond that. There’s been countless studies that show how darker skinned…
Far be it for me to tell you how to improve on a wrong-headed as fuck argument (Not to mention one that sounds a bit like a hit dog hollering) but if you’re going to there (and I think that I can safely say that people would rather you didn’t) the least you can do is get your history correct.
I’m African, not American. I’m considered light-skinned where I’m from but perhaps wouldn’t be by American standards. (Not that Africans are particularly dark which is an annoying fallacy I hear constantly in African-American press, there are after all quite a few of us on our sprawling continent. See Nilotic vs…
As a social scientist, this idea of “eat like a peasant” makes me cringe a little. If people actually wanted to eat “like peasants” in my area, they can choose between historical peasants (in which case I hope you like barley, millet, and starvation) or the contemporary equivalent (in which case I hope you like…
