Yes indeed, money and box office success has a way of making Hollywood slightly less sexist.

Yeah, I have a friend who had to go see several doctors before she got her tubes tied. I mean, I get a little of the resistance to sterilizing a woman compared to a man just on difficult, sterilizing a man is a less invasive procedure with less overhead and doctors would general prefer to sterilize the male of a…

Same. I like whole milk in my coffee because the enzymes are great for digestion, helping break down other fat I eat to leave me feeling fuller for longer, but when milk is at a premium and my calorie budget is tight, I drink it black.

They believe in a biological determinism that says that all women deep down want to be mothers, and that any who do not welcome the prospect of having a child (or another child if they already have one or more) are just lying to themselves and will change their mind if they can only be made to see that.

To them there are the facts and then there is The Truth. They know The Truth as revealed to them by God, and none of man’s so-called “facts” can overturn The Truth.

Which is why these anti-choice ideologues want to blur the line between themselves and actual medical professionals. They recognize that medical professionals can speak authoritatively on this matter, so they ape their appearance in order to appropriate that air. Hence the shitfit over being made to disclose that they…

Cis-male here, so obviously I could never actually do this, but I imagine it would be so tempting to want to go into one of those places and troll them by laughing like an over-the-top card-carrying-villain while telling them about all the babies you plan to muder, right after you finish all the puppy-kicking.

I find it ironic that the people protesting their right to free speech is being violated by being made to disclose this information are probably many of the same people who cheerfully legislate that doctors have to give a mandatory long moralizing diatribe to any women seeking an abortion regardless of if it is…

Romeny’s strategy in 2012 was to keep quiet during the debates, staying as inoffensive as he possibly can be while still hitting the required talking points, then just wait it out while his competitors self-destructed in their attempts to one-up each other.

I have a solution! We simply declare abortion a form of firearm.

Part of the reason why the most virulent racists end up coming from poor and white backgrounds is because they are afraid that if the playing field was completely leveled, they would be at risk of losing the minor advantage they have over black people when competing for things like jobs.

Okay, we need to enact a congressional committee to investigate the motives, goals, and sponsors of frivolous congressional committees.

*Sings* You have to fight! For your right! To (sex) party!

Warlock jumps just take some practice to master. They tend to go in long gliding parabolas, continuing on the arc you started them on when you triggered the jump.

I think it is precisely because they are such a popular class. Their approachability means that they are a popular choice for new players who might not be as familiar with the metagame, and end up needing a lot more handholding. Or they get to high level and still struggle with the “master” part of “easy to learn,…

It all starts from one assumption: “A woman’s highest purpose in life is to create babies, and if that results in her death or disfigurement then she should be remembered as a noble martyr for giving her last full measure of devotion to this great act.” Indeed, a lot of the pro-life woman take that view of themselves,…

I wish that were enough. Things like widespread access to birth control, sexual education, subsidized child care, and living wages that make it easier on families would have a drastic effect on reducing rates of abortion due to fewer children conceived by accident and parents who feel more secure keeping those…

These are the talking points rational people need to start repeating.

It’s so strange how eager they are to claim oppression. As a ciswoman, I can tell them that being oppressed is not something you WANT.

Winking is like nonverbally adding “sweetie” to the end of his sentence.
