This is what kills me. When women try to get police help against domestic abusers, they’re told there’s nothing the police can do until he actively tries to murder them. When they shoot or kill their abusers in self defense, police arrest them for murder or attempted murder. And when their abusers kill them, the…

Jails and prisons are full of victims of domestic violence who fought back and ‘dropped’ their attackers. The system is full of cops and professionals more than willing to explain a victim’s behavior as “That’s not how a real victim would behave.” So excuse me if this guy giving someone the pass to ‘drop’ their…

The summer before I went to college I briefly sat in on a trial where the accused was defending herself from a murder charge by claiming she had battered women’s syndrome. She was deaf—and knowing my hometown, i cannot imagine would have had any luck navigating the legal system or the DV system. So she shot her…

I don’t know either parent. Professional work or otherwise. However, the mothers last move of keeping the chdren by stating that since no court in the U.S. Has jurisdiction over her children and that her ex Has a German passport he can come to visit the children just like she’s been doing for the last several years…

You have a childish outlook on things. You should be tried as a child.

bitch please

I’m not sure, but I think they will be held in a juvenile facility until they are 18, then transferred to adult prison. I just think it’s inhumane to give that long a sentence to a child, especially if they can be rehabilitated through mental health treatment. For a 13 year old, even 3 years seems like an eternity.…

Probably because they planted it. If it was in her vagina, they would have said so in their defense.

Seems like the meds are kicking in for Yoko, as this isn’t impossibly insane, and doesn’t command you to do something awful to friends or strangers (or peas).

The kid will be named Kanye West Jr.

Who isn’t Rita Ora?

I should have gotten 3 because I should have gotten Anne Hathaway, but I decided to be funny and select her name and another option and apparently the quiz does not find me funny. :(
But yeah, I also got Donald Trump and then I guessed on all the others and got one of them right.

How civilized of them!

Ah, yes: “normal” sports, where men bleed like champs and women run marathons with a wad of dry cotton between their legs!

Gee, thanks for the considered response!

I just don’t get all the pearl clutching about this. The headlines clearly state what you are going to be seeing before you click: Marathon Runner’s Period Blood Stains - if you clicked after that to then be disgusted by the image after the fact, I don’t know what else to tell you.

Runner shits AND nipple burns. Because fuck running is why.

She said why she didn’t use any tampons or pads or cups. She deliberately wanted to make a statement to draw attention to women who have access to none of these.

In a professional or social setting, I agree with you, but this is sport. Pain and filth is sort of a part of it. I think the distinction between this particular flavor of filth and the type all the other runners are soaked in is more psychological/cultural than pragmatic. It is matter out of place.

The comments I’ve seen on this item around the internet have been bumming me out. People (male and female alike) are losing their fucking minds over some menstrual blood that I would have thought was sweat had someone not circled it and told me it’s menstrual blood. They’re acting like the streets were flowing ankle…
