Yeah, I prefer the Satanic Temple’s tactic of circumventing all of the wait periods and useless ultrasound nonsense, etc, by saying that it all violates their religious rights. Because it reinforces the idea that women have a right to bodily autonomy that shouldn’t be based on anyone else’s religious beliefs, but on…

I look at it more as “See, this is what should actually have a waiting period” rather than drawing a direct parallel. Because a lot of the restrictions on abortions would actually be totally reasonable and helpful when applied to gun purchasing.

When I had my abortion (in NC), I had to sit in a group “therapy” circle and discuss the process and what forms of birth control I planned on using post-abortion.

I so want somebody to talk about the need of more gun control that I do not care.

This is going to piss off so many people. Oh God! It’s beautiful.

Now we just need to workshop a transvaginal ultrasound equivalent. Transrectal firearm fitting?

Yes! I sent this tip. As someone who knows Stacey Newman personally, I can attest that she is one of the most kick-ass women I have ever met. She is always fighting the good fight for women in Missouri, and is someone we can all be proud of. Plus, she’s super nice, smart, and funny.

As my Bubby would say, and I believe this is a loose translation from the old country, “this fucking dipshit”.

Im against the draft, but if it is in place then it should be males and females that get drafted of course.

Doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing. Racial integration was tough, too. The military has to reflect the values of the society it defends.

AND THEN THE BEARS WILL COME!

This is horrible! Woman are going to start menstruating all over the place and no one will no if they’ve been shot or if it’s just that time of the month. We’re going to lose all the wars now, you realize this, don’t you?

“He was an asshole, he was a horrible boyfriend, it’s not against the law to be a horrible boyfriend.”

Go to court with what? There’s little the justice system can do at this point.

What I find the most frustrating about all of this, beyond the projection of criticism of him onto the porn industry as a whole, more slut-shaming or victim-blaming or ‘well, what’s the point in telling if you’re not going to go to court’ is the repeated commentary that this was well known in the industry for so long.…

“...I’m not accusing him of a crime he did to me”

Picking up some carry-out and not getting anything for me is a shitty boyfriend. Near-drowning me is much more than that. Much more.

This whole James Deen story is just so emblematic of how willfully ignorant people can make themselves.

I’d love to move to Canada but a) they won’t let me in (the visa process is daunting), and b) I’m too scared to come out from under my bed in the U.S. It's fucking scary here.

Thank you. This wonderful “industry” literally high-fived him for raping a woman in front of them.
