Education in the 70s was seriously messed up. I was also taught how to tell a white oak from a red oak this way: you can remember that white oaks have rounded leaf ends because white men used bullets, which are round. You can remember that red oaks have pointed leaf ends because the “Indians” (red men) used arrows,…

Actually, we’re the majority by a little bit. American census stats put us at 50.8% of the American population in 2014. I remember reading somewhere that worldwide, we’re 52%.

When I was in kindergarten (in the 70s) we had alphabet dolls. All were male except the vowels. And we were taught that the consonants “protected” the vowels because they were female. Seriously. Public school.

Naming it after Trump would be an insult to the noble cockroach.

Slides? I can’t imagine any kid taking the time to set up a screen and slide projector for some hardcore porn action. Do they maybe mean something like a Viewmaster?

Yes. Same.

Came here to say the same thing. I don’t care about her public persona, or what everyone thinks of her goopy-ness. If she makes good makeup without the untested ingredients, I will buy it. I’ve been trying to make my own makeup at home for years. It’s harder than you think.

I had to come back just to point out that I was totally right on this one. None of the female characters has a name. The only trope I missed was “victim” (“Arikara Crying Woman.”) But we still got a mother (“pregnant Pawnee woman,”) a wife (“Hugh Glass’ Wife”) and a hooker (“Pawnee Prostitute.”)

What if? Nothing. That’s what. All this fear and shame surrounding the human body is seriously out-dated. You have a cock. So what? I’ve seen plenty. Women feed their babies with their boobs. So what? I’ve seen plenty. Someone showed their ass to me after the big game. So what? I’ve seen plenty. Go clutch your penis…

I did not read this as dismissive at all. Quite the opposite, in fact. Maybe we hear what we want to hear?

Maybe she was hesitant because her attacker was the Arkansas Attorney General. Maybe it took her 21 years to overcome her own fear. Maybe she just got old enough to know that he couldn’t hurt her again. Who cares how long it took? It took as long as it took.

I think you’re missing the real point. We’re not really supposed to avoid rape. We’re supposed to take it and shut up.

More of the same old, “I never respected women until I had a daughter” bullshit. How come men aren’t taught that BEFORE they find wives/have daughters/come to respect their mothers?

This year I am going to force good things to happen to me.

Yep. Literally a cane made from bent cane or hickory in one hand, and an attache or briefcase in the other. The two “helping” him are his lawyers. You’ll also notice that he’s not even using the cane, he’s just holding it in his hand. This is pure theatre, and he’s just holding props. The costuming isn’t bad either.…

He’s holding a very flimsy cane. And you notice he’s so “frail” that both of his (I assume) lawyers have to help him walk. I wonder if he uses a cane and two assistants to walk onstage for his speaking engagements or is this just a ploy to garner sympathy from the judge and potential witnesses.

Oh, you silly youngs. Yes, we knew he was a babe. And he still is.

Exactly! The very idea that her post is about media-shaming her rapist makes it ALL ABOUT HER RAPIST. An abuse victim has no legal or social obligation to protect the reputation of their attacker. And the very idea that his right to reputation protection is more important than her right to truthfully share the events…

Only if they want to sexually assault you.

I see Nick Offerman playing this guy in the Lifetime movie, or maybe a Funny or Die parody.
