It’s interesting though, that instead of unpacking this issue further, we’re just saying: cops shouldn’t get to think like that. What about healthcare workers? Nurses? Doctors? EMTs? Any other profession where human lives are at stake? Instead of saying that certain professions shouldn’t get to hold their own safety…

I have the displeasure of spending a lot of time a bunch of middle-aged guys (it’s a pretty racially diverse group, although not entirely inclusive as none of them are black) who are the type of Trump supporters who will always be on the side of Blue Lives and The Troops no matter the situation - even though none of…

A lot of it sounded kind of like those live forever regimens where you achieve the optimal weight and so on, but anyone who got to the blue light eliminating surgery and thought it was still for real....c’mon.

50% of Tinder dates are similarly entitled (this is not a statistic lol, just my experience). That doesn’t excuse Aziz, but let’s say what needs to be said: the way he behaved is the way that a lot of utterly common men behave. So, let’s have the broader conversation.

My position: I’m a lady whose been sexually assaulted in all of the qualifying legal ways and also has had a few truly crappy hook-ups as described in the infamous - and quite frankly prettttty irresponsibly published - Babe piece.

You see rainbow flags on Gap t-shirts now because it is already visible and to a degree accepted into the zeitgeist. This isn’t some corporation taking a risk to make a stand. They’re recognizing that something that other people put blood/sweat/tears into has become pretty darn hip and they’re capitalizing off of it.…

I think of a right to have kids kind of like the right to have an organ transplant. Yes - everyone has the right. But there’s also the matter of making sure it’s the right choice for the donor and making sure that the recipient meets certain criteria. You can’t commit to a lifetime relationship with whiskey but also…

Yes! Especially considering that Marxism is pre-Civil rights, pre-Equal pay, pre all of the incremental changes and slowly shift the system. Whenever I hear some Marxist drone on about the DSA’s problem with identity politics, I’m not at all surprised because I doubt that an old, white guy on the other side of the…

We need laws not only to protect both parties, but I’d also like to see stricter laws regarding how women are targeted through marketing for egg donation and surrogacy. I swear, 5 minutes after I signed the heftiest promissory note of my life, my browser started featuring egg donation ads that highlighted how much…
