Right. Which is why it is good that the asshole was immediately fired. If s/he had not been fired, that would have been condoning bigotry. Had the person, in their interview, thrown around slurs or given other indications of their horribleness, I like to think they would not have been hired at this particular…

Server/bartender here: you're right that if there's nothing else going on, and just in general, that is not super great service. I hear ya.
Or pale natural blondes FTW!
"But some women are making it out that mysoginy and men feeling entitled to women is what is causing this rash of lethal violence against women."
I just keep thinking: will they believe us now? Is this finally the moment when men start to grasp the reality that women live in?
social norms influence how mental illness expresses itself. the fact men with mental illness in the united states often lash out in misogynistic ways reflects the deeper problems of our culture.
They aren't mutually exclusive, but one doesn't excuse the other.
I know this may be a bit controversial for some but I really feel like breastfeeding should be about choice. Instead of trying to force women one way or the other, would it not be better just to give a general education around infant feeding and let women make their own decision? The breastfeeding-or-bust argument is…
I agree. The kids might actually learn something about accountability and not wasting food if they were forced to clean up the mess they made and volunteer at a soup kitchen or a food bank.
Gotta get kids into the criminal "justice" system early, otherwise we start losing new inmates for the for-profit prison-industrial complex. Can't have that.
I can promise you that a server who squeezed your shoulder while asking if you wanted to order another drink was not hitting on you.
Maybe you'll get more bites today, LobstahThermidor. I'm crossing my fingers for you.
I'm one of the many people who blocked out the memories of the sexual assault that happened to me between the ages of 3 and 4. Do I know what happened? Not exactly. Do I know who did it? No, but I have an idea. The reason I know that some severe sexual trauma happened to me is because of the indelible mark it left on…
One of those is an incredibly vague incident from his childhood which—unlike the allegations against Singer, et al—could be interpreted in a number of ways.
The guy who assaulted him was a predator. That's what's relevant — not his orientation. And trauma survivors do overreact sometimes, when someone threatens us the same way we've been threatened before. This lawyer wasn't beating up a gay or bi guy for coming on to him. He was fighting back against the person who was…
Well, I get about 7 hours of sleep each night, and I've never died. So my death rate is 0, which is VERY low. (Is that how statistics work??)
I've heard the general population death rate gets very close to 100%.
Yeah, I was wondering about the math on that one. It seems like the death rate would be pretty consistent for the entire population, regardless of how much sleep you get.
