Your percentages make more sense.

They have close friends?!?

Reitman also says in the NYT article that he started the process against Ronell before #metoo.

Exactly. I read somewhere that she is referred to as “a philosophical superstar” in the academia. My automatic reaction was that anyone called that has about 85% chance of being guilty of sexual harassment, or at least of some kind of abuse of power (for male superstars, probably 99% chance).

I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes when I read the letter. And these people (who signed it) are supposed to be exceptionally intelligent?? It is embarrassing.

This reminds me of when we were climbing Mount Fuji about 10 years ago with my boyfriend. We decided to climb at night and started at the 5th station (I think? Anyway the one closest to peak). A group of young american men stormed there at the same time and started hiking in flip flops, holding beer cans and making a…

Yup. If the parents brought the baby to an adult-only wedding against the couple’s wishes then that’s very bad behavior indeed. But that’s bad behavior regardless of whether mom has to breastfeed the baby or not.

Oh jesus, yes. I worked in a grocery store when I was 17 to 21 and it was this day after day. What is wrong with men??

What? I'm a white woman and my jaw literally dropped when I saw those tweets responding to LeBron James. I had the exact same reaction as the previous poster: what's wrong with these people, why do they feel the need to complain about someone praising black women? I had no problem understanding the comment.

I learn by reading stuff (here, for instance) and by listening. It never occured to me that I could learn by making confrontational comments under an article I don't fully understand.

I wish some version of this would actually happen 😂

Why would someone express their outrage about separated black families under an article about immigrant children taken from their parents?!?

Almost throughout Europe, right-wing populist parties have gained a lot of support during the last 10-15 years or so, and from what I see, the main reason for this is prejudice and outright hate towards immigrants, especially those from Africa and Middle East. The language some people here (I’m in Finland) use is so…

I wanted to add (one of the three interrupted me being online) that whether you or I are parents is in my view rather irrelevant to this discussion. People here were sharing stories from their childhood/adolescence in which they described feeling mitigated, misunderstood and dismissed by their parents. I don’t see how…

I have 3 kids. I’m also a psychologist. Not that it makes me an expert parent, far from it (I work as a researcher anyway, not as a clinician), but I feel that my training makes me very sensitive to the ways we might hurt each other, especially when there is a power difference, like that between a parent and a child.

I would be absolutely devastated if I was the parent in this situation. I don't think I could ever laugh at it. 

And the police decided not to come, because they did not see it necessary. Of course you can always call...

Also, he’s marrying the whitest woman in the world. So, an albino?

Saying that the world is a better place without him is not the same as saying he deserved to die. The former is just a true statement with high probability. Although people can change, basically nothing predicts violence more strongly than previous violence. Also, there’s violence and violence: getting into fights…

Jesus. The media here (Finland) described him as a “young man whose personal life was troubled”.
