Gee, I'm sure it has nothing to do with people not wanting to be the faces of a story about sex workers ...

"I don't really understand how people can look at this situation and bring misogyny, racism or whatever new -ism they discover into it"
this guy is proof to every MRA that says "women only think UGLY men are creepy" that no, creepy men are creepy, even the good-looking ones.
Of course he was also racist. Those people are the reason these guys don't have hot women. That black guy sitting with those hot white women was taking away his chance at "having" one. Or as he put it "things".
Much though it is really important to put this crime in the context of a dangerous and hateful men's rights movement, can we please put the "lol fedora" jokes on hold and show some respect toward the victims of this act of terrorism? He didn't just post a humorously stupid video. He murdered women because of their…
Have you gone down on him? If you have but he hasn't, then.... hmmm I hate to break it to you, but I once read an article that made a very convincing argument as to why the lack of going-down-ness is a very good sign your partner is not playing for the same team as you (i.e. he may be gay/in the closet).
I was thinking the same thing — that a lot of this has to do with poverty. These states have high levels of reliance on food stamp programs, and the food that's available to people on food stamps is high carb/high calorie. I think a lot of this has to do with the fact that it's not economically feasible to get access…
I think some factors also include urban life - big cities are walkable, have public transportation and not as many people own cars. Weather is also an influence - the South is fricking hot and sweaty, every time I've been there. I wouldn't want to go for a run either.
Well also layer on poverty and you're going to see a lot of the same areas lighting up.
I would be more interested in statistics on food quality, price and availability, on chemical levels in food and other consumer goods, on environmental pollutants, on consumption of junk foods, on stress and overwork, on types and levels of human activity, etc. etc.
Well said, Erin (re: your last sentences). As long as we continue to view obesity as an individual choice that exists in a vacuum instead of a public health symptom of systemic flaws in how people in poverty are educated and granted access to healthcare, we will keep throwing our energy and tax dollars away to "solve"…
Worst case, you die, but give others a chance to escape.
In active shooter scenarios cops are now taught to engage as soon as possible to stop the bad guy.
Yeah, it's not a hoax. I work in aviation too and it is a sexist world, inside and out. Not as bad as the construction industry, in which I've worked as well, but still. Not that 100% of the men in it are sexist, but quite a few are. And then there are those who think they are progressive, but who are in fact…
Lady pilot/A&P aircraft mechanic here. Just a private pilot/hobby pilot but I travel a lot for work and have seen people ask to switch flights when they found out one of the pilots was a woman. The last place I worked (private jet charter/management facility) wouldn't hire a woman pilot at all (and hadn't in their…
My friend who works local news here in Vancouver said the station interviewed flight attendants who said the guy was complaining about the woman pilot during the flight. So I guess not a hoax.
You're damn straight, sir or madam. Pedophilia and power go hand-in-hand unfortunately. Always has, always will. Ever read about the Franklin cover up here in the U.S.? The seedy, evil underworld of the hidden hands governing our world are imbued with such moral depravity, such absolute wicked foulness, it goes…
Your showy display of suspicion echoes a certain Prime Minister's aide.... i got my eye on you
FFS, you can't even make this shit up. Stories like this are just becoming more and more crazy, and more and more prevalent. And these are the ones we KNOW about. Think of all the dirtbags out there who are operating under the radar and using their authority to evade capture.
Yeah, you lost me at "8:30 pace" in the first line of that workout. I'm one of the overweight people this article is targeted for. I do run already, and my running pace is almost 2x that. My husband lovingly teases me that what is running to me is walking or speedwalking to everyone else. I'm fat and have short…
