I get it, Ben. No one wants to have terrible shit revealed about them. Having said that, I find it incredibly outlandish that he choose to bury this story. Why? Because of slavery, my legacy only goes back so far before I can’t trace it any longer. Why? Because my people weren’t considered human and birth/death…

the degree of interest in this story suggests that we are, as a nation, still grappling with the terrible legacy of slavery.

I’m related to Jefferson Davis, the president of the confederacy, and a number of my relatives were in the KKK. Not something I’m proud of. But I’ve found the best way to face having slave-owning, racist ancestors is to unwaveringly support the rights of african-americans and other minorities, instead of wallowing in…

Now when I feel like I’ve fucked up at work, I can remind myself that at least I’ve never fucked up on the level of having sex parties paid for by drug cartels.

I thought they had a bunch of malformed Kardashians shackled up in the basement. Or just, like, ones who are normal humans. "Mom, I don’t want to be on a reality show, I want to be an oncologist.” Get in the basement, Karson.

If Jezebel bans me for pointing out one of their writers is not what he says he is, then something is seriously wrong. I would like to think this site learned from the Hugo Schwyzer fiasco.

They spend 70 billion on wheeled vehicles alone.

Here’s the thing about this that was easy to miss in the segment: Part of the reason that rapists maintaining parental rights is important is not just because of the possibility of rapists gaining visitation/custody rights. (Obviously, that’s awful.) It’s also because rapists can use the threat of suing for custody as…

I agree, but if this is a thing that is really happening (judges awarding custody to a rapist parent) in courts around the land then we have bigger problems than just getting a bill to prevent it passed.

So let’s just get this straight... many states (and many republicans) don’t want to let women who get pregnant from rape have abortions, BUT they are ok with letting that child live with an abusive and dangerous person.

“That $5 million is basically the same amount our federal government spends on other arguably less important issues.”

Ok so... we can’t have abortions, we can’t miscarry, we have to give birth, adoptees have to jump through hoops, but... our rapist can get us pregnant and then take partial custody?

If we, as a nation, can raise $862,000 in a day to cater a hypothetical gay wedding with hate pizza, I’d like to think that we could afford $5 million per year to not further cause harm to rape victims.

I ... I still kind of want the iPhone case

Wow that was a surprisingly complex burn, I think I need a minute

The ironic thing is the type of guy to do this is usually an egomaniacal coward who would never actually go through with it. They think too much of themselves & are too afraid to actually hurt themselves. They’d much rather hurt everyone else.

“I don’t remember”, “I blacked out”, “It happened so fast”. These are the typical words that I hear from an abuser. Dumb question, but is there any validity to that? Is it scientifically possible for a person to “black out”, start hitting someone, and not remember doing it or is this a go to bullshit excuse to absolve…
