So pregnancy isn't a disability, yet we're required to apply for short term disability insurance in order to get paid during maternity leave? This really makes sense, America.

He should be sued into Hell anyway. If this happened to me, I wouldn't be fired- but, guess what? I work with nothing but men who'd all have the offending photo on their phones (whoever didn't have it, other guys would quietly send it to them, cuz tits). I'd be treated normally to my face, but EVERY dude in the plant…

Because it's not a simple act of rejection to them. It's about the fact that they feel entitled to control over your person, and you've had the gall to ignore their wishes. You've literally denied him the correct patriarchal order of things. That makes your rejection a stain on his manhood, etc., and the crazy ones…

I don't really think anything is an open and shut case when it is the first time you are trying someone under a brand new law.

Yah, I think so, if she could prove that her termination was a direct result of him posting the pictures. I wonder if she brought a civil suit against him.

If she had lost her job over those pictures, could she have sued him (and won) for compensation?

it's beginning.

WOW, the fact that they would accommodate drivers who lost licenses because of DUIs but not pregnant women is disgusting. When I sold cars being able to drive and being able to be insured was an integral part of the job, and it was made very, very clear to me that a DUI meant automatic firing. But a UPS driver who was…

Come on now. Pregnancy is your own fault. You don't deserve special accommodations for something you choose to do, as opposed to something outside your control like losing your license due to repeat DUIs.

Come on, USA, it's about time you earned the term first world country and implemented several weeks of maternity leave before and at least half a year after someone gives birth. Paid maternity leave, of course. It might even help with abortion rates, because people are more inclined to have a baby, when they know they…

I really don't like the way the interviewer was pushing Dickinson about "but why did you trust him," "why didn't you ask what the pill was," and so on. It's really rubbing me the wrong way. It seems to kind of reinforce the pervasive idea that if a woman does anything "wrong," then she can't complain when she gets…

Victims of trauma should NEVER take a lie detector test. They are inconclusive in general, but they are notoriously inaccurate for rape victims who take them under conditions of heightened stress and often experience PTSD symptoms during the high-pressured test. Lie detector tests don't detect lies, they detect…

Nothing has made me want all police to wear body cameras like hearing a rookie cop in-law brag at Thanksgiving about picking out random people in black neighborhoods to stop and frisk and how awesome it was that everyone was afraid, so they would do whatever he and his buddies wanted. I'm sure there are some good cops…

Yup.

Please change your handle to "Idiotwithcomputer" so we know what kind of imbecility we are about to peruse under it.

At first when you said "particularly choice excerpts", I was afraid you were being sarcastic and I was cringe-reading. And then I got very happy. Terry Crews for President.

Crews putting the patriarchy to bed.

I just think Terry Crews is the most delightful person, and that opinion is compounded every time I watch him in an interview. I even love the way they initially cast him in Brooklyn 99, which is as a sergeant who has to stop working in the field for a while because he gets panic attacks at the thought of dying and…

As if I needed another reason to love Terry Crews.
