Other outlets are reporting the woman’s full name is Tami Barker, and that she is an ESL instructor at a local community college. Someone’s in the wrong line of work.

We have Trump because America has a bunch of racist assholes who are willing to screw themselves over economically just to fuck over people of color? Yeah, that sounds right.

As an Asian person I would like to say how frustrating it can be to tell people, yes we experience racism. And they’ll be like well you guys are so smart! And you’ll be fine.

How about a goddamn warning next time

I swear this is true (at least, from my point of view.)

I think your comment did more for capturing the spirit of the time than anything in the article did for a young person like me who never saw the original live.

No kidding.

I’m incredibly old, and I remember well that my friends and I watched American Bandstand religiously (mostly on my best friend’s TV, which was a huge, clumsy, black-and-white cabinet set, an RCA if I’m remembering correctly—this was back in the day, when TV stations signed off late at night and came back on with the…

Er, and Black kids as well...

Dick was dick to anybody who couldn’t further his agenda including the artists on the show.

I know it was a different (more hateful)time, but I’m sad Dick was a dick to the gay kids.

It’s quite a distinction and a glaring inaccuracy. If Jezebel is going to report on news then they have a responsibility to report the news accurately. This is how misinformation gets spread which is a problem for a lot of us but especially for immigrants where there are so many people willing to exploit their lack…

Midwife clearly means something different where you are to where we are.

@cait98: If a woman says "I do not consent," she does not consent. Period. The hospital has no right to her body. None. And this is the point of the post. If a woman says "no," she means "no."

@resplendent.bitch: That's what happened to me. Or wait, is "rape" only penis-in-vagina"? Or maybe it's only "Stranger's-penis-in-vagina"? Or wait, it must be only "PIV-with-added-violence?" No, that's still too broad. How about "PIV-with-added-violence-in-dark-alley-by-stranger".

@cait98: actually, over the last few years, all the handbooks and textbooks i've seen say "he" is now incorrect usage.

@cait98: "You don't think touching or inserting things into the vagina are a natural part of childbirth procedure?" No, it is not. Most birthing centers, and most practitioners of homebirth do not perform regular cervical checks if the labor is proceeding normally. Hospitals do constant cervical checks in order to…

@cait98:

@girlinthegarden: I'd love to know what the procedure was.

@girlinthegarden: With the mom. End.
