I know people wil say I’m exaggerating, but it’s my firm belief that it’s this kind of thing that lay the grounds for normalizing victim-blaming in rape.

Not at this school! The athletic director was forced to reveal to her students that she had two abortions previous to her employment there.

Wow, it takes someone super edgy, smart, and wise to criticize and judge a family’s actions of dealing with the aftermath of a tragic death.

To add on to my previous comment, to suggest that she should’ve put herself in even more immediate danger and tried (probably unsuccessfully) to stop him while he was alert sounds fucking ridiculous to my ears. This isn’t much different from a kidnap victim attacking their abuser in an attempt to escape - it’s self…

That’s like asking why I don’t like pickles. Someone either turns you on or they don’t. And I learned a long time ago that if I have to “argue” myself into wanting to have sex with someone, it’s never going to happen.

Ding ding ding! Shift the blame! Same thing with drug testing. The program to test welfare recipients costs way more than just giving them benefits.

if you compare past video with current, he really does seem to have gone downhill. he was never a brilliant or thoughtful or articulate person, but it’s quite clear that his faculties are leaving him.

And here we have the premise of Woody’s next, sad film. An older Jewish gentleman in New York is forced to watch movies on a computer by a young, pretty ingenue. They fall in love, even though she is being pursued by a good looking lawyer her own age because she just loves the pathos that surrounds the old guy who is…

If you read the articles, his wife or girlfriend left him. That is all it takes to turn some men into absolute monsters.

At 15, it’s less “fucking an old dude” and more being groomed and being taken advantage of due to her age. And agency does not mean it has to result in action. A 15 year old can be attracted to whomever they like; their sexual desires are their own. But if it’s an adult - especially an adult in a position of power…

Thank you. I can’t believe they’re issuing stays for 10 minutes, 45 minutes, etc. Forget execution; being teased with your own imminent death like this seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me.

you are getting so upset at women who don’t have children for saying they are happy they don’t have children. how upset you’re getting says far more about you and your life (and your feelings about your own choices) than it says about us.

This angers the hell out of me. When the tax return thing was brought up again after the April 15th rally, he said as part of his defense: “the election is over.” (lol, he’s finally figured that out??). Well this election may be over, but he’s actively campaigning for the next one. All of the criticism carries over.

Interesting how the murderer’s gender has nothing to do with his crime, which is all on him, but Trump voters apparently bear no responsibility for voting for him. No, it’s the fault of everyone who has hurt their feelings so they lashed out like angry toddlers.

I haven’t actually read that, but just going by the things I’ve seen them in the news for, I believe it fully. And wow... I’d never thought about that, but I would not be at all surprised if that was at least a part of their thought process!!

This kind of thing is just unenforceable. So you see a tall woman with a strong jaw—you are supposed to ask for her birth certificate or ask her to show her genitals so she can use the bathroom? How about a small man with dainty hands? How about a butch lesbian with a bound chest? Who is supposed to be enforcing this…

At this point I don’t know if I should only be appalled or also find it downright hilarious that men STILL rate women using a number. Again, our current POTUS does this, which should speak volumes. I have never, ever heard a woman say, “He’s got a great personality, but he’s a 6 in the looks department at best.”

Literally nobody here is disagreeing with the point that circumcising babies’ penises is problematic at best, since babies are incapable of giving consent. What people are disagreeing with is your insistence that there is no difference between circumcising a penis and “FGM,” a term that includes clitoridectomy, not…

You don’t agree that men often swamp discussions of FGM with their concerns about MGM, drowning out the women’s voices trying to discuss FGM? I’m just a casual reader and I’ve seen that at least a few times now. It’s really infuriating, and it happens on both liberal and conservatives sites.

I think it goes to the notion of “women as ornaments, extension of a man’s life” as opposed to “a person with interests.”
