Yep. Another commenter said something that rings true, I don’t know if his intent was to be a perv but that he just really didn’t give a fuck, which ya know... still doesn't make it not pervy.

LOL I remember that post—what a mess. Just checked it out and it doesn’t even look like the correction is acknowledged, even though Jez had to Frankenstein’s Monster a measured take.

So true. The only reaction subway creepers want from women is some combination of horror/fear/awe—I’m not even sure titillation is on the list. So if you do something else, they’re disappointed. I’ve probably told this one here before, but when I was a younger woman riding the subway at night and someone was doing the…

I’ve never understood not confronting a flasher. I was flashed a few times during my time living in NYC and I’d either laugh and point(they hate that) or scream THIS GUY’S DICK IS OUT!! HEY EVERYONE THIS GUY HAS HIS DICK OUT!! Works like a charm.

They are absolutely assault rifles. I’ve been in the military about exactly 20 years. We used to have H&K G3 rifles. On one excercise, we fired one mag on full auto just to see why it’s a bad idea. With the new rifles, H&K 416, the instructors are just like, ‘yeah, you will never fire these on full auto, why waste…

So the argument, made by every gun owner on my facebook feed in the last few weeks, that the AR-15 is “not actually an assault rifle”. Coherent or incoherent?

Incoherent. It was designed for combat, not hunting. And the line of reasoning that “it’s not an assault rifle” is because it’s semi-automatic, meaning you have to pull the trigger each time you want to fire, as opposed to fully-automatic, where you just hold the trigger while the gun continues to fire.

They ignore are…

I think a good response to that may be “no, but we should probably not allow drivers until age 18-21, all cars should be equipped w BAC controls and smartphone use while driving should be banned. It’s really the same argument- society should be protected from those who refuse to behave in a safe and responsible manner”

To me completely incoherent. It’s a military grade weapon designed to allow a single troop to kill enemy combatants by the score more effectively than his weapon does. I don’t care that it doesn’t have a burst or full auto selector.

That’s right. You can’t outgun the government with them, but you can murder civilians by the handful.

Even without a learning disability, I can’t get on board with holding an abused and controlled wife accountable for her husband’s actions. If she felt like it was safe and possible to do things he didn’t want her to do, she’d probably have left him years ago. Abuse distorts a person’s thinking... How many women go…

It’s possible to have a very serious executive functioning deficit and a disorder of working memory that would make it very difficult to understand cause and effect. I understand you’re being facetious, but not all of the things that are commonly called “learning disorders” are as straightforward as dyslexia or bad…

Not all learning disabilities are the same. In her case, it sounds like she has trouble with abstractions. She might not be able to connect purchasing bullets to a larger “plan” for instance. She may still be complicit, but if her special education teacher is willing to publicly go to bat for her and claim she would…

I saw Neil DeGrasse Tyson last night and about halfway through I thought to myself, “Wow. This would be the perfect time for some gun toting-liberal-hating-ass-hole to come in and try to wipe as many of us out as possible.” took a while to talk myself down. :|

Two weeks ago I was at women’s summit. While sitting towards the back of the room listening to a panel, there was suddenly a loud bang out in the hall and a bunch of voices. I immediately thought the worst was about to happen as I sat in a room with 500 other women. I was not the only one who jumped and crouched at…

Definitely. I think twice before going to the movie theater now. I think twice before going to woken’s rights events. I get jumpy about university shootings because my husband is currently a graduate student.

I’m a naturally anxious person, but does anyone find their anxiety about being in public spaces has gone up? Like, are you purposely avoiding doing things because of your fears that this would be a place where someone would freak out and open fire?

Kia Forte LX, I know that hubcap well, see them all the time. Also that looks like the top part of the tail light.

Yep 2010-2013 model.

Looks dead on, plus the taillights match too.
