As someone of Six Nations descent, my grandmother had stories of white doctors coming to the reserve to "fix" women who had "too many kids". I'm ashamed to admit we thought she was exaggerating or confused for the longest time, until we found out how commonly it happened.

Is it possible he didn't really know it at the time? Men in general lean toward lesser awareness of their moods (ie that they even have them) and their root causes.

My husband and I must be masters at this, but we always argue with the assumption that the other person might be right, and we might be remembering things incorrectly. It's amazing how quickly things can be resolved when you manage to give just that little bit of ground.

Plain Cheesecakers are, quite literally, the worst people in human history.

When we say "won" the argument do we mean that the person got their way or that fundamentally they were correct in what they were arguing? Because I'm the Kentucky Wildcats on the second one but The New Hampshire College for the Short and Uncoordinated on the first.

My father won almost all the arguments, unfortunately. He probably doesn't remember it that way, though.

So, if a man were to hit and kill a child while driving recklessly, it would be okay to cut off his penis as part of a plea deal? After all, he is according to your logic, a torturer and murderer.

YES. Because that is a wrong kind of punishment.

I distinctly remember an argument I had with a Jez reader who swore up and down modern day feminism was different from the blatantly racist 1st and 2nd waves. I wonder what she thinks after reading this. Hell, she probably thinks it's a good idea. It's scary how this shit persists generation after generation.

Warms my heart to see so many jez readers support eugenics. It's almost as if (white) feminists have a long history of supporting such policies.

Exactly, because everyone knows that I go around to people's homes asking if they "have a moment to talk about the teachings of Laverne Cox."

OMG one of the reps that voted for this bullshit used the term "Gaystapo" on twitter. I hate my state. I really hate my state.

Or a recall election. I'd be down with that.

So some Indiana businesses could flex their 'religious liberty' by 'confronting government overreach' and not serving/selling to Pence right?

You know, there are times that I joke that some people should be sterilized because they would be awful parents, but for this to actually be part of the law, where people can be coerced into sterilization or forcibly sterilized just sickens me. I know that women in the California penal system have had to deal with…

Where I live, it was legal for the government to sterilize people from 1928 until 1972 - the law was amended in 1937 to remove the need for consent. It was passed to sterilize the mentally ill to prevent them from passing their defective genes, but in actual fact it was used on the poor, aboriginal people, disabled…

First some backstory on the team and the area where it resides.Asteras Exarchion is a soccer team based in Exarchia(a district in Athens,Greece) where many left/anarchist/antiauthoritarian people reside or have meetings in order to organize their actions against the state.In many years before and up until now,Exarchia…

The guy running away is my new hero. He is on a pitch filled with professional soccer players who want to hit him and they can't FUCKING CATCH HIM. He is literally running circles around them. Ha, ha. No wonder they lost the game.

Dennis Miller?
