Why do you keep ignoring the human trafficking angle? This is your second comment, at least, in which you willfully pretend it’s not an integral part of this story.

“Why is this still a crime?”

The literal article you are commenting contains a quote from the detective working the case describing how this specific massage parlor engaged in human trafficking.  

I really wish people would stop saying this. Sexuality as a concept is fluid. Individual sexualities may not be and that’s fine. This sounds like nothing more than repackaged homophobia for a woke generation. Sexuality isn’t a choice and is often pretty unmovable. No amount of connection can make someone who is…

This dude comes from a family where, like, all of the kids were put on TV and commercials from infancy; he’s probably legitimately fucking dumb, and can only think in terms of money, success, and fame. 

Fuck that. He seemed very much in his right mind when he was doing press about this and releasing statements.

Actually, it’s kind of the exact opposite--this shows how very difficult it is to convincingly fake an attack, and how easily the stories of people lying about being assaulted crumble under investigation. Nobody is sincerely equating “believe victims” with “don’t investigate crimes”; that’s a straw man used by rape…

This is just a new-agey way of saying “I’m not like other girls... I actually just get along better with guys.”

Apparently since she said so. She’s never been in a public relationship with anyone other than a cis male. For someone so “open” and “proud” about her membership in the LGBT community, I find this pretty damned suspect.

Like, just because you find women visually appealing once in a while doesn’t make you bi or pan…

My god she’s insufferable. I too haven’t forgotten her Blaxploitation Period™. And now she must hijack the LGBTQ community, just so she can claim that’s she’s not just bride, she’s a cool bride y’all! <eyeroll>

I am not saying she’s not queer or that being in a straight relationship erases someone’s queer identify, but it doesn’t strike me as “redefining” anything for a generation when someone who has always been publicly in straight relationships has a conventionally straight marriage.

Miley is a shameless, utterly feckless, contemptible person. I haven’t forgotten her blaxploitation period, after which she denounced hip-hop as being “suck my dick” ad infinitum despite cavorting around with blowup dicks onstage of her own accord.

Thing is, if trans women are free to compete in women’s sports, then cis women will have to give up competing in major sports. A cis woman’s body just cannot compete with a biologically male body at high levels of physical sport. If you want evidence of this, top female athletes get destroyed when they play even…

Imagine how trans people feel! Yeah, imagine how a woman losing to a not exactly woman feels. Why should she hold any records? I support rights and protections for trans people but there’s a limit to things like sports. 

The issue is - Woman are already segregated so now and the question is wear do you fairly draw this line. If Michael phelps tomorrow realizes he identifies as woman should he be allowed to compete in women’s events? If not why not? What basis are you drawing that line?

“we accept their legal sex without question”

“Some of us, not me, pinched our noses and voted for Hilldawg.”

For as much as he talks about this monolithic The People, Bernie sure does seem to only view himself as the one who should lead it...

America owes a debt of gratitude to Bernie’s political courage, and how that courage will inevitably shape this country long after he’s gone. Without Sanders democrats wouldn’t have had the confidence to fully embrace policies like Medicare for All, etc. He essentially gave them their platform at a time when it was…

I have a friend who was paid out of a gig with him, after he pulled this shit with her. Courtesy of his manager, who of course apologized profusely for Ryan’s behavior. Fuck Ryan Adams, fuck everyone who enabled his actions and fuck everyone who looks the other way when their friends/family/associates pull this shit.…
