So, my (former) high school has had a recent uptick in student suicides the last few years. The first happening my senior year, and the most recent this fall with at least 1-2 per year in between. The current administration, student body, and wider community decided that the appropriate way to mourn the latest was…

As someone who has actually done real work lobbying for gun control, I hope that Amy’s selfie is mocking this #WearOrange “slacktivist” nonsense. Wearing orange is bullshit; if you really want change, write your Congressman and Senators and then vote for candidates in November who support gun control measures.

for more attention. I mean more awareness.

violence awareness?? yes Amy we are aware. How about violence prevention??

Seriously, why’d she post that.

Just not before 10 a.m. on Sundays in MA!

They could have easily made it a full two years if they were both just 3 and a half inches taller. Too bad, really.

I wrote to another commenter on this thread that this is a deeply dysfuctional family. And I’m willing to bet money there’s a history of problems within that family, possibly generationally, e.g. abuse and children being sexualized by adults either in or outside of the family.

No, I don’t think alimony is an argument for men getting screwed by the system. I just think it enables the continued expectation that one parent will give up his / her career and stay home, which in the current system ends up being primarily women.

It’s one of my go to examples when I want to illustrate how patriarchy hurts men as well. Which is sadly an argument I need to make more often than I’d like to.

Under certain laws (CAlifornia included for a while) men and wives couldn’t be “raped.” The law on it was eerily specific stating that rape was when a “woman” was penetrated by a “man” who was “not her husband.”

Several states still have their laws drafted like this limiting rape to only women, only penetration and…

It was a general, rather than specific “you”. Let me fix it for you:

I’m not going to list previous places I’ve worked online, but there are a lot of feminists who care about this, who do education on it, and who try to lower barriers to male survivors receiving services. There are also feminists who don’t do any of those things. But blanket statements about “feminism” are neither…

There’s also a lot of cross-deputizing going on where, for example, tribal police are given limited authority in nearby towns and police in those towns get limited authority on tribal land, where city police are given limited authority in ICE/INS matters, and where sheriffs’ deputies are given limited authority within…

YEP.

Thank you. Not “relationship,” either. Predatory behavior and grooming. And fuck that fucking family.

Not “sex.”
