I think the point is that people didn’t show up for Trayvon or Sandra the way they showed up for the Women’s March.

Absolutely true.  This article is much like Mallory herself, a lot of vague excuses.  

53% of the 20% who voted. When you take the spin away from the math, it was a wayyyy smaller number. 

“Why wouldn’t we pay [for them] to go to San Diego, drive across to Mexico and save the system tens of thousands of dollars?” said Republican state representative Norman Thurston of Provo, who sponsored the option. “If it can be done safely, we should be all over that.”

That would be an excellent point if liberal and progressive figures were aligning themselves with Evangelical Christians the way they do Farrakhan.

There’s a long list of ways in which our culture really makes life tougher than it ought to be for women and girls. Your point is also probably a something to examine - there’s nothing especially wrong with “other women/girls,” on average, that needs to be pushed back on that way.

My knife block slots are horizontal so no issues on which direction I put them in but I don’t think running it over wood is going to dull it very much.

The fun thing about anti-semitism is that you can try to justify it from the right or the left.

It’s also willfully ignorant to simply ignore the truly horrific and hateful things Farrakhan has said. Is it really so hard to point out the positives of an organization while setting a clear dividing line against the hateful rhetoric?

She is attractive by a lot of standards, but she’s also acknowledged past eating disorders and doesn’t seem to shovel this shit that she’s calling out. She’s also not attacking the ideal body type, she’s attacking the process through which it’s sold.

You’re not really bringing anything new to our attention. 

As a rabidly pro-choice RN working in the OB/GYN world, I genuinely believe helping my patients access a full spectrum of care is my religion. Sadly the only litigious religious organization on this front is the Satanic Temple. I joined them years ago to protect myself should my Catholic employer fire or otherwise

Here’s the thing — I get this. I really do. I get it because it’s how, as a Jewish person, I feel about Israel. For Jews, Israel is a bit like your dad; embarrassing, possibly not totally emotionally rational, definitely has some good qualities, some bad ones, you guys disagree on stuff, possibly lots of stuff, but at

pretty much perfectly matches that “ideal” body type she derides

Also these products are pushed towards kids and teenagers mainly. Cardi B is obviously wealthy, but newer however someone like a Kardashian is super wealthy. I don't expect her to promote a charity or something instead, but maybe don't promote laxatives. Draw a line somewhere you've cashed in enough you vapid asshole.

3 things can be true:

Her name was Roxana.

I’m glad there won’t be a third. I enjoyed the show, and I liked the first movie, but the second was embarrassingly awful and I can totally see why Kim Cattrall turned it down.

And Samantha’s storylines were always at their best when she was accorded some emotional depth. The later seasons when she was dealing with Richard, Smith, and cancer is where she really shone. It was such a disservice to the character that the movies boiled her down into a one-note oversexed cougar.

He is saying that the problems and violence the migrants are fleeing are not nearly as bad as those faced by the jews.
