Actually, I prefer them. The gif is mainly a reaction to your misplaced anger.

I shouldn't have assumed one way or another! Lessons in sensitivity :)

Just when I was hoping my gender pronouns wouldn't put my foot in my mouth.

I couldn't think of anything snarkier than a gif to respond with. You, sir, have filled that void.

Do any universities realize that if they ACTUALLY responded to rape cases in a decent manner, people might actually want to GO to those universities and SPEND THEIR MONEY there?

I respected everything you had to say up until this comment. I say this not because my opinion is by any means important, but because if you want people to take what you have to say seriously, this isn't the way to do it.

I feel almost guilty saying this, but I'm usually a twofer...if you see what I did there.

Again, your opinion, and you're entitled to it. Not entitled to tell women what to do with their bodies.

You're entitled to your opinion. Whatever your opinion is, I'm sure you can agree we cannot have a real democracy if we do not live in a place that makes all choices possible.

Ok, I've entertained your increasingly bizarre scenarios long enough. Have you heard of the term Ad Ignoratium? I've never been a surrogate mom, so I don't know how that goes, but I'm pretty sure that's extortion, which I'm pretty sure is illegal. However should a surrogate mom decide to have an abortion, not…

Yes. It's her body, she decides what she does with it.

There've been a lot of trolls today. Honestly it's hard to distinguish from people who are using faulty logic to enhance their poor arguments and the people who come here to learn.

Yes. His bodily autonomy isn't being threatened and he's supporting his child, who has been born, I'm assuming. The thing is, when having unprotected sex, both this new scenario and the original one, are things to be considered/discussed beforehand. Bottom line, if you want to avoid them, have safe sex.

Why are we going to work in skirts or pantsuits at all? Don't we know we exist for a man to own us?

"And the general hostility on this thread implies this is the wrong forum to have an intelligent discussion."

No, not at all! I just mentioned that because a lot of people (especially on Kinja) conflate what their strong beliefs are with what laws for everyone should be.

It isn't wrong. What would be wrong is if you try to force what you think on everyone else.

Excellent gif usage madame/sir.
