My understanding (as a born and raised atheist), is that it’s not enough that Jesus died for our sins. It’s that he died and we have to accept him as our lord and saviour, which also means breaking up with our girlfriend who has two kids and maybe we’re just too young to be tied down and also it seems like some other…

Did they include that women will show arousal when watching animals fuck? SHOCKING IT TURNS OUT ALL WOMEN ARE INTO ANIMALS.

It’s weird how God made me queer but also won’t make me unqueer unless I go to some shitty bible group (and deny everything about myself). I feel like He’s got some fucked up priorities and recipes?

It’s two things, as I understand it. One is that Evangelicals are supposed to create a “quiverful” of Jesus warriors, so aborting them Jesusbabies is bad. The other is that authority in Evangelical Christianity is like a series of umbrellas with God being the biggest, then the husband/father, then the mother, then the…

They both challenge patriarchal authority (that is, the woman’s place is under the man, but above the children. That doesn’t work if the woman’s dating a woman and/or aborted the babby). And are explicitly chosen lightening rods by Evangelical Christians because “let’s fuck over poor people and people of colour while…

I have to believe that if a god exists, they’re nothing like what we’ve been told. If they’re all-knowing and all-powerful, they aren’t even one iota good. Or, if they’re all-knowing and all-good, I feel bad for them, because they mustn’t have an iota of power.

Holy fuck. I knew the broad strokes of this, but the details (and the outcome for those fucking cops) are so horrifying.

And then there are the ones he outright raped, literally chased around hotel rooms, etc. Acting as if this was some equitable quid-pro-quo is so gross.

her work as a second wave feminist—though lately she has also developed a reputation for being transphobic and gender essentialist.

How often do you have the opportunity to use them, beyond the speeding?

I’d be super interested to read more about your organization (though I can understand if you don’t want to post where you work). I work in addictions research with, currently, a focus on opioid use disorder and I’m super interested in the pharma aspect of it all.

Yes, tolerance (needing more to get relief), dependence (going into withdrawal if you don’t have it), and rebound pain (often for the same thing you were initially seeking relief for, e.g., back pain) are all significant issues with long-term, non-cancer use of opioids.

As others have said, Canada is in the midst of an opioid crisis, with it concentrated on the West Coast. What we also have, much like the US, is tonnes of people with trauma, adverse childhood experiences, the (intergenerational) trauma of colonization, and, especially in Vancouver, immense wealth inequality and…

In Canada, rape is not a legal term at all, rather there are severities of sexual assault. Which was a real win, because rape denoted forced penis in vagina, which left out a lot a whole lot of people’s experiences.

There is a radfem rape crisis centre here that (along with excluding trans women and taking a very paternalistic approach to sex workers) has turned away women seeking shelter from lesbian partner violence because “they’re concerned with male violence against women.”

I think it was a fair assumption if you read fast! There were some red flags and dogwhistles that I am familiar with (Feminist Current being a big one!).

I actually don’t think OP is using transmisogny in the same way you are—I think they’re echoing places like Feminist Current (which they name check) who think that (content: transphobic beliefs summarized up ahead) trans women are misogynistic men pretending to be women.

There is a big difference between Grace’s experience (and the cultural conditioning that prevents a lot of people, including her for a few days, from seeing how disgusting and violating it was) and Ansari’s (pushing just as far as he can without technically breaking the law, backing off, then pushing again).

And did he break the law by calling in a false report? He admitted that OP lives there, so calling 911 and claiming he didn’t know OP seems like it’s breaking the law?

Jesus Christ. I am so sorry.
