Right? It seems like kind of a no-brainer to me, to not share anything without explicit and enthusiastic consent. I have friends who get unsolicited dick pics and look up the dude’s family on Facebook and forward the screenshots via Messenger with “please talk to your son”. 

Thank you for sharing this. 

On the flip side, consider how much rage you have to tamp down and keep quiet when you’re a black woman trying to explain to this dipshit racist why what he did was so damn bad. 

He gets the basics of slavery, he knows what happened, to the extent that any white person can. The problem is that he thinks “that’s in the past” and that because he has black friends or treated black patients, that he is absolved from racism. I’d venture to say most white people think this way, especially in the

His obfuscation of the truth goes much deeper: “The first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores in Old Point Comfort what we call now Fort Monroe...” they weren’t indentured servants when they landed. They were teachers and healers and merchants and artists... The people kidnapped from Africa weren’t

I think unsolicited ones are fair game to show to anyone, as you’re simply warning people about an assault that has occurred. But if said pics are a part of your relationship/consensual flirtation/whatever, it’s creepy AF. 

counter-argument: Drake has a platform to speak truth to power, call out the Grammys for being historically shitty to black artists that don’t conform to a certain aesthetic, and hold people accountable on their platform. White artists call out these institutions on stage and they’re “heroic” but Drake does it and

This is gross because it’s one-sided, as opposed to a conversation that’s then followed up by a phone-number-on-a-napkin and because if you’re a woman and you’ve just been sent this and you’re not interested, you’re now in an extremely uncomfortable position of knowing some dude is staring at you for the rest of your

Forget Mueller, you don’t even need all that. This falls under federal extortion statutes. Your immunity for previous crimes typically doesn’t cover any crimes you’ll commit in the future. 

Of course there’s a difference but there is nothing objectively wrong with her proposal. If you think that’s too progressive, that’s a point up for discussion, but retrofitting buildings as part of maintenance that would happen anyway, and providing an economic safety net for people who end up “burdening” society

I disagree. Bold, big ideas that are easy to say and think about and conceptualize simply win. Think about “build that wall” and “lock her up”. Nobody rallies around a 60-page detailed construction plan, they get excited about a Clean Buildings Initiative. 

Training is valuable because it helps build some muscle memory for things to look for and then say/do when you spot something that doesn’t look right. People are afraid to intervene because they’re scared of getting it wrong. In the case of a woman intervening when there’s a man involved, it’s also potentially

When I want a job that pays $100,000, I don’t go in asking for 100k, and certainly not for 65k and hope to work my way up to 120k. I ask for 125k and negotiate down. To land on something even moderately progressive, you have to shoot the moon first, then work backwards from that. Our problem is that we always start at

We’re not assaulting ourselves, champ!

It’s... understandable? What? In what well-adjusted, adult world is it understandable to take the horrible thing that happened to your friend out on someone who had nothing to do with it but shares a skin color with?

The first part of your reply is Not Great. For one, there are many reasons why women wait, or are forced to wait, until later in pregnancy before they seek abortion care. For example, not knowing you’re pregnant, not having access to any medical care, not having access to an abortion provider, etc. Every week has

It’s possible because they feel a huge pressure to be 1000% in love and floating around on pink clouds all day. Sometimes you DO have to convince yourself that things are fine and you’re normal. 

The only danger flag I see is him calling her his “security” and them trying to find what’s missing in the other person. That’s a struggle for anyone young and not fully grown-ish. If anyone is expecting to be “fixed” by their love interest, it’s a recipe for woes. 

Not sure about the level of snark dedicated to the part about the struggles of a newer marriage and being newlyweds. If you didn’t live with your spouse before getting married, the first year is a legit shitshow of “why do you wash your dishes likes this” and “if you breathe this loud one more time while watching True

Those things are not mutually exclusive. Due process is afforded to you by the courts when you are charged with a crime. I don’t owe anyone due process personally as a private citizen. We can also “believe the woman” because a public sentiment of believing the accuser doesn’t impede Fairfax’s right to due process.
