I belong to a small professional society. We have had in the past an issue with two guys who were creepers—one a gay man who thought this somehow gave him license to grab breasts, the other a guy who liked to get drunk and kiss various women who didn’t want to be kissed. So we are wary. I wasn’t there, but I found out…

I can only imagine most women who were assaulted by Trump are terrified to come forward. I would be too. On one hand, he has Bannon and the Breitbart minion trolls who are too giddy for the opportunity to stalk, harass, humiliate and doxx women. On the other, he has that human garbage that is Jeff Sessions running the…

Of course it’s unconstitutional on its face.

The House knows this bill won’t pass constitutional muster. Even if it made it to the current SCOTUS, I think it would be struck down based on precedent alone (don’t prove me wrong, John Roberts!). My concern is that the GOP will keep drafting bills like this, knowing they’ll be challenged, and hoping they’ll…

A friend had an anencephalic fetus which she needed to terminate. It was tragic. And necessary.

I’m only a law student here - but here’s my two cents: In Roe v. Wade the Court divided state regulation of abortions into three trimesters. Banning abortion in the first trimester was deemed unconstitutional. However, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey restrictions on abortion could be imposed (waiting periods, etc.) in…

And Bill O’Reilly’s book publisher dropped him today.

The good news is that because this isn’t a budget bill, it’s subject to the legislative filibuster.

Republican assholes, hi. Since you seem to care about abortion so so so so so much, and believe that all women who don’t want to get pregnant, but get pregnant anyway, are all “sluts”, here’s how you stop them. MAKE IT ILLEGAL FOR MEN TO EJACULATE unless both man and woman are trying to make a baby. Since you guys are…

So physical, but not psychological, danger counts? Because as a bipolar person who knows without a doubt that another pregnancy and subsequent bout of postpartum depression would kill me, fuck all those guys. Just...fuck this.

Let this be a reminder that unlike what certain self described progressives say, we absolutely cannot compromise and allow antiabortion people on the Democratic ticket in an effort to win seats.

Not to mention, if you get staff to kick the guy out, nothing stops him from loitering around or nearby outside waiting for you, except this time he’s not just feeling rejected, he’s also extremely angry with the woman who got him booted.

I’ve tried everything from the straight up “leave me alone,” to ignoring, to pointing out that I have a bf/husband/whatever. All have had scary consequences. It is now, unfortunately, much safer to just give a fake number and be done with it.

I think up until fairly recently it was considered okay by many for a guy (even a “nice guy”) to TRY, and try in ways that really AREN’T okay (initiating touching without some sort of understanding that there’s an interest; nagging or begging; OBVIOUSLY initiating with a woman who is asleep or otherwise not fully…

It almost makes me want to start a blog to track every explicit claim like that and see if any of them materialize. (Spoiler warning: doubt it)

So, full disclosure: I was an army wife for a period, divorced my ex who is still a soldier, and we are both happily remarried and we all get along, lalala

“It’s disgusting that the media is taking something that should be recognized as a generous and sincere gesture, made privately by the President, and using it to advance the media’s biased agenda.”

UK Update:

I’m betting Xanax and Dom Perignon.

That is clearly Earth-2 Melania.
