Nothing like the death of a famous male musician to remind you that the overwhelming majority of famous male musicians are/were either sex offenders, woman beaters, or otherwise truly awful people. “Brown Eyed Handsome Man” and “Too Much Monkey Business” still own though.

It’s true that she’s brainwashed, but by that extent, so is he.

Part of the problem is their culture views the victims of sexual abuse as being complicit in causing it. Even children.

Thank you for sharing the Sarah Silverman video on divesting from the Dakota Access pipeline. I checked the list of the 17 banks directly investing, and was a tad relieved to see the 2 banks I have were not on it, but they were in the list of 38 banks that are involved in funding for the entire Bakken pipeline. I used…

Hmm, funny you didn’t call *him* an awful parent.

Right! Women are always infantized and denied their agency- perpetual victims. Men on the other hand are always 100% responsible. That does not sit well with me.

Scary but true — Sarah Palin and Michelle Obama are the same age. Michelle Obama has two descendants; Sarah Palin has five kids and five grandkids. (That dirtbag son of her has two kids that no one talks about.) If present trends continue, by the time they’re 60 in seven years, Michelle will still only have two heirs…

Yes, they do. It was a cult started by a serial sexual abuser of teen girls. Google Gothard/ATI sexual abuse if you don’t know what I’m talking about—I wish I remembered the name of the specific site that compiles the girls’ accounts (recovering grace, maybe?).

Evangelical Christianity gets away with horrible cult…

Real talk, real question: do you think it’s possible for any kind of sexual predator to actually change? I’ve worked with some from adult to teenager and I don’t personally don’t think that kind of mental defect is fixable. I don’t say that lightly, but when an offender doesn’t think their crimes are that severe and…

Please don’t judge people who are mind-controlled. You cannot hold them to the same standards as people who know that they have a choice. She was raised in a destructive cult. Anna has no idea she has choices; she has no idea she has a value as a human being; she has no idea that she has a right to her own opinion;…

Same. I’m with Chase and I know they support several things I can’t agree with and I’ve been looking into credit unions to get away from them. Plus the majority of all the banking issues I’ve ever had were with Chase.Like 99%. They’re very presumptuous with your money.

That was my plan, but it turns out I can’t. And I’ll never understand why I - a decent person who wants to keep the planet healthy so that humans can continue to live on it - have been shut down, but these yahoos can just keep churning them out. And one of my kids is determined to never have kids. I know she’s young,…

The terrifying part is their reaction that the ashley madison stuff was worse than the molestation. Molest little girls that’s “understandable” go on Ashley Madison, that’s where we put our foot down.

I don’t understand why these people are so fertile. Evolution is going to get all effed up.

My mom has said over and over again that our biggest mistake was fighting the Civil War. She says we should’ve let the South go because the Northern economy would’ve survived while the South would’ve come begging and pleading to be let back into the U.S.

I spent a chunk of my teenage years living on a military base overseas. The harassment I experienced from those on base (not to mention from the head of my household - a male service member) makes me have a pretty negative reaction during holidays that “celebrate” our servicemen/servicewomen and/or fallen vets because…

I am just uncomfortable with the deification of the military (and police for that matter). It’s weird. And I say this as the daughter of a war veteran. It isn’t that they aren’t deserving of respect, but they aren’t better people or even better Americans solely because they were a part of the military. They just don’t…

thank you L.L.S.T. and welcome to the club.

Yup.

Yeah, at this point I’m well past the knee-jerk “respect for the military” that US citizens are supposed to have. They don’t respect me, I don’t respect them. All those commercials for various branches with the stirring music and the clean cut soldiers on watch around the world and around the clock? “Less raping, guy.…
