    See, e.g., another quote from Marston:

    I think he thought most everyone should be submissive in the sheets, at least a fair bit of the time.

    D. They always get it bizarrely wrong, or manage to create a female version that would be actively counterproductive as armor.

    Psychologist William Moulton Marston created her in 1941 as a feminist
    hero, who then helped to get America through World War II in comics. He
    described his reasoning in a 1943 press release: “to set up a standard
    for children and young people of strong, free, courageous womanhood; and
    to combat the idea that women

    That depends on what kinds of drugs you need…

    " Arrow was criticized for killing off the beloved Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy)"

    It seems to me that the problem is he hasn't heard of not-prostitutes.

    "Plaintiff submits as evidence literally every episode of Fox and Friends, as well as every single article ever written about Roger Ailes."

    The absolute, one hundred percent best part of her filing is the part where she reports getting told that she needed to stop trying to show up Doocy and Kilmeade. To be honest the fact that she could be on the air next to them and not be doing that is as good a sign of her talent as anything imaginable.

    No one disbelieves her, but when it comes to someone whose literal job involved defending men against charges of it, and arguing that sexual harassment isn't an actual thing in the first place there is actually a difference. People aren't responding that way because of her views on international trade agreements.

    The strangest part is that while it literally could not possibly be clearer that she is right about the sexual harassment, the quoted bit by Doocy is more or less correct as well. Whether or not that's what she's a serious professional journalist who happens to have had a job where she did exactly no serious

    Or to look at Fox News, really.

    Now I'm imagining clever business owners dashing over to their biggest competitors' businesses right before the Purge starts and sticking big " OUR "SALES" are "OUT OF THIS WORLD" " signs in front of them. Why take out the competition when the grammarians will happily do it for you?

    Civil or criminal liability for harms/damage that occurred after the purge?

    The idea that very few people are genuinely willing to take part in it is probably an insightful bit of the movie as well. People (like to) imagine that the laws/society/whatever are what restrains people from running amok or whatever, but for the most part people just don't naturally go in for that kind of thing.

    The potential for arbitrage is something that I hope they get into in the next film.

    I like the idea of someone making a bus-to-beverly-hills business that runs there right before the purge, and back right afterwards. "Why steal from your own neighborhood? Come to Frank's Wildly Unethical Busing service! Get your hands on the good stuff!"

    I suspect that a lot of property crimes (particularly things like theft - destruction of stuff less so) would count as continuing on until after the purge was over. After all, now someone else's stuff is in your house/bank account/whatever. Even things like insurance fraud wouldn't work: you might be totally within

    I'm pretty sure (almost) all of the inadvertent self-mutilation stories are just war-on-drugs nonsense stories, or about very different drugs. (Meth might make you think you're invincible and can do anything at all, but acid isn't likely to.)

    "…and I understand that, your honor, but we planned it out last year during that purge and just waited to meet up again for a year."
