Because she has the power to prevent it.

I'd just like to out myself as someone who, for some reason (a deep and burning HATE for Cersai, perhaps), was not at all bothered by last night's scene. And in the end, as per the director's assertion, did very much appear to be consensual.
I used to LOVE Jelly Bellys - now? BOYCOTT.
Not sure where you live, but I've never seen 'the mice exhibit' at a zoo.?
Honestly, I prefer that all people despite their gender just look fuckable and shut the fuck up. I'm in my mid twenties and if I have to have one more gdamn 'getting to know you' conversation before sex I'm gonna lose it. Seriously, no one gives a fuck where your grew up and what school(s) you went to and what your…
Honestly, I find Rebecca - who is by all means a nice and great person, I imagine - to be wildly out of touch in terms of the very real issues that affect US lives. Jezebel has been relevant due to its ability to balance substantive issues with a few light-hearted fluff pieces to break it up a bit. But Rebecca seems…

I support your right to place pressure on corporations (which are not people, as I'm 100% positive that Islam acknowledges, although I'm in no way a part of any religion or religious belief structure) when they engage in policy or practice that infringes upon your rights and liberties - so long as they don't infringe…
The point is to remove companies from their privileged position of being beyond public critique and control. It's a messy business, but a necessary one, in my view.
I guess my point isn't mired in the particulars of each individual case, but with a normative basis for continual public pressure on all corporations to act ethically, regardless of the severity of their infractions. Results may vary, as do the conditions and premises of action.
I might argue that the liberal wing might be served well to have a well-supported radical-left to match the radical-right. Because it's the radical-right that has slowly shifted the center of politics and debate to a decidedly anti-liberal, anti-progressive and anti-democratic era.
I'm not so sure. The companies will never 'care', but they will care enough about their image and profits to perhaps be inclined to align their policies and practices to the ethical demands of their customer base.
Sure, but that doesn't really matter in this case. The publicity provided the opportunity for them to revise their contributions, and then to make a public statement of a more informed and ethical stance. There are a LOT of consequences of corporate actions that are either known or unknown, and it is our duty (IMO) to…
With Chick-Fil-Et (or whatever) and Mozilla and now with Chilis - can we now begin to organize more fully around putting ethical pressures on corporations?
And the fact that you feel the need to insert some sense of competition between horrible experiences is part of the problem, in my view. And it weakens our argument and agenda when attempting to push pro-choice legislation through - to say nothing of the manner in which your response drives a wedge between yourself…
Why is it that people can't be pro-choice but also cognizant of the horrors of abortion? I am one of those people, and there are more of me.
I'm a fella, and I've been catcalled, had my ass and penis groped out of nowhere, and more. Honestly, it's always been a turn-on (no joke, I love it!), and I would've gone home with each and every one of the offenders - in fact, I did end up going home one of them after a night at the bar.
That's my only complaint. Ethics are an intersectional endeavor. Social justice must exist with environmental justice (and also with economic justice)!
Seriously. I've never been a customer before, but I put my money where the ethics are. And I'll be buying their products from now on. Hey Honey Maid: You just earned a customer!
I've chosen to remain child-free for different reasons: economic and environmental justice. I'm aware of the massive tolls that a single life takes on the environment -subjected to 7 billion people on a planet designed to carry about 3-4 billion at our current consumption levels (and without thinking of increased…
