I think that even if it is a choice for one single person out there, that person should be left alone to exercise their damn choice.

But isn't the fact that there are men who bone both men and women proof that those people are full of shit?

Homophobic people can fuck off whether or not or not being gay is a choice.

Even if science eventually proves the sexual orientation has a genetic component, it's not going to deter the homophobes. They're just going to argue that even if one is genetically gay, it's only a "sin" to act on their feelings. People will find any excuse for their bigotry.

Unless you think that the rate of male homosexuality is diminishing over time, isn't this kind of intuitive? I mean, that the genetic component would be matrilineal?

It's rare that I can be proud of my home state. I was expecting this to easily take decades. Fuck yeah, Virginia!

Shoutout to anyone in my state who's happy about this but not in a safe position to openly celebrate. This is for you too.

I think that over exposure to violence in general, not just video games, creates a sense of normalcy around violence that is dangerous. It's hard to say if it directly affects actual violence against real people.

Freedom of religion to wingnuts = freedom to force their particular flavor of evangelical Christianity down the unwilling throats of literally anyone else.

While I appreciate the pun, are the insides of these panties seriously white? Who the hell wears white panties when they are busy leaking everywhere?? My period panties are all black, because I seriously don't have time to fuck with the inevitable blood stains.

If you try to take away my human rights, you deserve my hate. Period. You can't expect people to agree to disagree when you're trying to take away their bodily autonomy.

If people don't want to be discriminated against because of their religion, then they can't discriminate against others because of their religion. It's really that fucking simple, but apparently Kansas lawmakers can't figure that out.

Then don't have evil opinions. Duh.

No, that was the trade off for corporate personhood. Corporations get to be people, republicans are now soulless, corporate robots.

Despite what has happened to you, you are still a man. You'll never understand how it feels for a woman to be under the threat of rape all the time, because you're not a woman and the threat of rape against women doesn't exist for you.

Putting the man in her place creates a similar sense of belittlement.

I bet Bruce puts a Bruce Jenner action figure in his little helicopter and whispers, "You're free. You're finally free." when he flies it around.

Yeah, I as a white woman have been called racial slurs, and I'm not living in fear that it will happen again, because it was a one-off. One particular asshole being an asshole, not an entire huge group of people all with the same possible underlying goal of oppressing me. You've been assaulted, but it was random —…

But that reinforces the idea that rape threats are within bounds. It's so important that we have male voices backing us up on the notion that it's not okay to exploit women's oppression to win a stupid fucking rap battle, or for any other reason. It is not okay for men to use the fact of female oppression for their…
