Uh, the institution of marriage is ALL about privilege and inequality. As a married couple you not only get a level of social recognition that unmarried partnerships lack- but material and financial privileges, rights, and protections unaffordable to those who can't or choose not to marry. How you could think…

I wish people would stop commenting on unrelated articles to say things like this- it implicitly perpetuates the idea that rights are a limited commodity and as such should be given to certain groups before others. This is the same thing as commenting on an article about women’s health care with “but what about the…

Well, as you are neither the master of language or the queer community you should stop parading your backward shit opinion as fact.

None of us should even be like “they’re going for a mix femine dress masculine facial hair” because we can’t speak for them and who is even to say that facial hair can’t be feminine? To show support thru shit like that just supports a rigid gender binary that we should all resist.Be careful and rigorous with yr…

1.You clearly didn’t read the interview

you realize we are talking about an adolescent here, right? she is still a child in my eyes, but that is not the point. the point is that it is morally reprehensible that we withold compassion and ethical treatment from people whom have comitted crimes we find deplorable. we become the very monsters we claim to…

You’re arguing semantics. I read and understood the article. I personally believe that the measure of a persons morality is how they would treat someone whose actions are monstrous or criminal or deplorable. I believe that somones inhumane actions does not justify their inhumane treatment by the justice system.…

You work for racists tho all good with u tho right?

Iused to work with people experiencing homelessness and There are many many reasons one turns down housing- here are the most common ones I heard: 1. Housing is unsafe or rundown 2. After decades on the street living in a home feels foreign and claustrophobic 3. Unwilling to comply with the extensive rules and…

Doyou honestly think trauma, humiliation, and decreased self esteem are effective methods for “teaching a lesson?” - you think this young girl was helped or bettered by this “punnishment?”

Are you serious? You think the judge should be able to dole out a bodily punishment on a child?

How about just “parents.”

Stupid question to ask here. Obviously it is up to the individual couple, so it depends.

So glad to see this here. I was deeply disturbed by James and his “bonin” confession and also how he claimed concern for Kristen as the reason for his lies. Dark shit. I’d be terrified to be around him.

“Not worth the effort" privilege 101. It is always worth the effort and stop hanging round people who are racist

NEXT.

Even if everything she says regarding her and DJ and their love IS true- she broke the law and acted well outside of ethical bounds when she as a teacher and therapeutic practitioner had sex with her student and patient.

After reading the title I thought “dov seems like the type to represent himself”- I see I was spot on. He is so pathetic but at least we get to laugh

While I understand your perspective it demonstrates a lack of alternative thinking. Why have we just given up on creating safety measures that don't rely on police enforcement. Police are in schools because it allows for the funneling of student out of schools and into the prison system. We live in a society that…

I agree but want to question your ending with “teachers rather wouldn’t,” as that paints teachers as being culpable for the policing of schools when that is so so so not the case. It is a complex issue that I would be happy to discuss but in no way are teachers responsible for the presence of police in the classroom.…
