Agreed. I'm intrigued and I'll definitely watch it, but I can't imagine Utopia without things like Becky's welsh accent. That's really it.

They are making a US version of Utopia which makes me very uncomfortable and yet intrigued. ANY fans of Black Mirror or any television at all should watch Utopia before the United States fucking ruins it.

Except that premiere credit given to men in the film industry (male actors always billed first even if it's Channing Tatum and Meryl Streep, one woman EVER winning a best director Oscar, 80% of academy electors are men, etc etc etc etc) is an established fact and the OP offered a broad anecdote of having observed this…

"Why are people having so much trouble losing weight eating only bread? They should substitute with some sawdust"

I didn't posit that it is more ridiculous or verifiable than the other comment, but it's anecdotal - a single anecdote involving probably two people - and involves more factors than just gender politics.

"One time at the gaming store I worked at this hot girl exerted her power over a man. I saw it. She was hot, that's where she got the power."

Truths! No really, your story is ridiculous but there's true. Power dynamics are affected by things like conventional attractiveness and, more broadly, gender. We're talking…

That's true, my "evil genius" stereotype might be overly generous as to the latter label.

OR the hierarchy is keenly aware of the correlation between places where women (or just people) are educated and empowered and places where they hegemonic power has waned (or disappeared.)

It might be germane to this conversation (trivia-wise) to note that an abortion, or in this case, using birth control that would kill a zygote is an excommunicable apostasy. It's on a short-list along with attempting to kill or killing a Pope. Murder, however? Murder is not on this list. So, as a matter of fact,…

Black straight women are the fastest growing demographic for infection in North America too, it's worth knowing though perhaps not worth noting for this discussion, because it's for only some of the same reasons.

Those are the women we're talking about. There are very few women who have all the options available and are able to choose NFP options because they're best for them.

Imagine what kind of world we could live in if every child born was a gift to parent(s) who were committed and totally psyched to do everything in their power to give that child an empowering upbringing. I am pro-abortion for every single person who isn't over the fucking moon to find themselves pregnant, and pro-BC…

The idea that it will take the most powerful institution on earth "centuries, most likely" to stop contributing to the impoverishment and death of its women adherents and preventable HIV contraction is not really that amazing. It's plainly terrifying.

NFP is an option for women who have full autonomy over their own body, and also fit all the criteria which you mention.

I clicked on this article thinking that might possibly be true, but it isn't until he acknowledges ANY of the completely normal and safe practices of the modern world that prevent conception. This is something of a new stance, "oh hey, 9 children are probably bad for you and your current children," but until he…

The one-drop rule is archaic, but considering how racialisation is actually applied in society, she is certainly a person of color. So it sad as hell that her family which would obviously include people of color might look down on her marrying a black man.

I affirm that I am of sound mind when I state for the record that I would fuck every one of those guys.

The guy who wanted to finger me, then insisted on having a *shower* between fingering and intercourse.

Also, since those quotes seem to be more about the time you yourself embarrassed yourself during sex, I'll recall my fond memory of giving a drunken blowjob in university, then running to the bathroom to puke, and…

There are a ton of trans people in my community and friend circle, and until a few years ago I had to do that mental factcheck too. Your husband is doing the right thing by caring and *asking* what he doesn't know. It's almost the same words, but I found it simpler to remember if I thought of the phrase as "trans…

She could very well have written that and it would be concise without being patronizing to anyone. I also feel that if you'd never heard the term "misgendered," you'd still have to be pretty thick not to guess correctly what it means in this context (or any context, really.)
