I lived in SC for three years... he’s absolutely representative of the majority of the voter base. 

I feel like this better-ish than having been out here flying the feminist flag, inasmuch as no reasonable person of average intelligence would think that being anything BUT pro-choice actually jibes with being feminist. Mind you, I still think his stance/non-stance on abortion flies in the face of the principles of…

I can’t be the only person who just sees The Bachelor and Bachelorette as the farm league for the “pros” that is Bachelor in Paradise (which is perhaps some of the finest trash on television.)

Does he actually call himself a feminist (or did his “team”/his “people”)? Or did he get this label from elements of the press who saw that he did philanthropy that seemingly aligned with that label (until this came out, anyway,) and so called him a feminist? 

I’m analyzing the situation from the perspective of the character at the time and place of the depicted encounter.

There’s also the “ethically fraught” situation constituted by Rhaenyra’s sexual advances towards someone who is essentially a subordinate under her direct control, and who would not (reasonably) be able to refuse her if she were to press the point, given her power to have him dismissed (or killed) on a whim.

To be clear, even if Tolkien had been super racist and had explicitly written That everyone in Middle Earth was white (whatever that meant in Tolkien’s time), it would still not be a good reason or basis upon which to exclude BIPOC from these projects. Hollywood has been reimagining and interpreting things to fit…

My critique of you wasn’t that you seem like you just started thinking of this issue today or yesterday or recently, it’s that you seem only able or willing to think of the issue from your personal perspective.

I don’t personally know any 38 year olds with 23 year old kids

what makes it creepy for a 38 year old to regularly date 23 year olds . . . .

But surely the ideal situation is not needing to get divorced at all. My point is that the longer one waits to get married, the better their chances of knowing who they are enough to pick a person for the right reasons, rather than wrong ones. It’ll never be perfect and there will always be divorces, but I think…

It’s infantilizing to refer to 18-year-olds and 20-year-olds as “babies”, which is what OP does when they begin their comment saying that when they were x age, they were a baby of whatever degree exploitability.

I’ll ask you: Did you wake up on your 18th birthday a fully formed adult? Did the 17 year olds in your Algebra class clap?

This isn’t his experience, it’s science. The human brain isn’t fully formed until you’re at least 25 (last I read, it might even be a few more years for women).

“When I was 23, I thought I was grown. I was, in fact, an exploitable adult.”

Show has a good amount of silly, fourth-wall-breaking BL-style humor. Openings are minimal—cold open and a title card basically. Closings are fun though.

I'm very happy it's actually got a lot of legal/courtroom humor. This is the best interpretation of She-Hulk from the comics. I never gravitated towards the character until they let Dan Slott basically turn it into a David E. Kelley show in comics form. I'm glad she's not just punching shit all the time.

That’s not in the lawyer’s control, they’re not hired to make the client continue getting work. A defense attorney’s job is to defend their client within the ambit of an official proceeding against them (whether in a criminal or civil context, or both, though it would rarely be the same lawyer handling both). The…

If he even inadvertently revealed the name or identity of a child or a pseudonymous sexual abuse plaintiff, I think it would probably be sanctionable, so I doubt such a high-paid lawyer would make THAT careless mistake, or intentionally dopsomething that they know would piss off the Court.

Really? That I know of, none of those people are jailed or insolvent.
