1) Streep, you are a great actress, on the best ever, but public speaking isn’t your strong point.

That quote there made me metaphorically pat Candace on her head and say, “Oh, Candace, honey, let’s have a little chat about feminism, shall we? Ok, good. See, the thing is that feminists don’t think you’re anti-woman if you’re pro-life. Feminists support your decision to carry an unplanned pregnancy to term if that…

Sure, t'would be much better if they did, b'y.

I don’t think that he’s even Canadian. He told me off for using the British spelling of a word as in his words “This is North America”

I wish we (and by we I mean humans, not just Americans) would promote composting more. Some of that nearly-expired produce can still be useful, if not edible.

Well, if it weren’t for these kinds of documentaries The West Memphis Three would likely still be in prison. I see your point though. The entertainment value of these things makes me queezy. It’s why I haven’t watched Making a Murderer.

Right. Grandma prayed, grandpa left a loaded gun lying around - I voted for a pro-gun-control Congressman. I’ve never met this family, I don’t even live in the same state, but I did 100x more to try to save their child than they did.

“Toddler shootings” should never have to be a phrase.

Holy fuck...but you know, having guns is the most important thing...

To boot, I imagine they thought they were being transgressive since, you know: older woman professor/younger male student instead of older male professor/younger woman student.

I don’t know why I’m extra annoyed about the fact it had to be a PINK sweater. This video hit the sexism jackpot. Disgusting.

Are we really not calling him Robio?

yet, i don’t have a single woman friend who hasn’t been afraid of a man at some point. listen to what we’re saying.

Alright, if you take issue with “attack”, allow me to rephrase: “dismiss” works just as well.

Honestly - this fear is such a regular occurrence in my day-to-day life that I don’t even mention it to my husband most of the time. But I still feel it. I know it’s not rational, I know it’s usually unlikely to result in my death or injury, but I don’t know if this is the time I am wrong and it is a rational fear.

Yes. I have. And I have feared for the safety of my body in many instances with men, both strangers and known.

I imagine a large percentage of men are “capable” of killing a women with or without their bare hands. I think you mean to ask the question “how many men are mentally capable of killing a woman?” And, although that percentage is probably (dear God I HOPE) lower, it’s probably higher than I’d be comfortable with.

Shut the fuck up and stop being deliberately contrarian in the face of other peoples lived experiences.

According to the FBI, of women who were homicide victims in 2010, 37.5% were killed by romantic partners. That doesn’t mean that a woman is likely to be killed by a man, but those numbers are enough to make most women wary of men in the context of relationships.

“Won’t somebody please think of me and my feelings?”
