I didn't think mass weddings were a recent trend. I remember reading about them in the 90's, both in the U.S. and abroad. Also pretty sure that "virginity" "testing" is always a bad idea. I don't know who or what those officials are trying to protect, but it is definitely not the people they are supposed to serve.

The issue is not how you feel in the morning, it's whether or not a rape occurred. If one person felt forced to have sex (either through actual physical threats, fear of physical threats, fear of emotional/social consequences, unequal power relationships, or anything else that would affect whether or not that person…

I don't know if this is what you're looking for but a college acquaintance of mine has become a leather worker and sells stuff on Etsy. He sources all of his leather from the U.S. (tanneries in Chicago and St. Louis) and then hand stitches them. It's expensive as hell, but it's all hand made and impeccably sourced.

The pro-life position isn't biblical at all, so it's really not that hypocritical.

I'd be interested to look at that explanation more closely considering religious people have higher rates of divorce.

not to mention that might be intended to stall you out of the window in which abortion is legal in your area.

She'd still owe child support. Better off leaving it at the hospital/fire station/ wherever the state has policies put into place to cover that kind of thing.

What about sanctimonious pro-lifers who believe that it's okay to have sex before marriage?

Whatever you do, don't be a supportive partner who makes safe space for her to explore her feelings, goals, and options. UGH UGH UGH UGH UGH!

Nope, that's pretty much all I do. My life does not pass the Bechdel test.

I've been dying for nutrition facts on alcohol for years. I'm a little bit surprised that it's taken so long.

I think there may be some relationship between the influx of women in the work place and dropping national educational results. It's a working theory, but I'd be interested to hear other people's opinions:

They probably would print it. But I totally sympathize with you. People shouldn't use religious practice as evidence for crazy, especially for minority religions that are the victims of a lot of polemic. *braces self for trolls*

450k is for an athletic director, not a coach.

Yeah, that's just BishopCon.

I haven't seen any evidence that prostitution fantasies are common among women, as he asserts. I'd be open to changing my mind if you have some sources you'd like to cite. I don't think that because rape fantasies are common then prostitution fantasies have to, because they are less "extreme" according to your…

you are an awesome person.

it's boneheaded because there's not any evidence to support it.

Definitely. Mad props to that person for challenging him when he said something boneheaded.
