The problem with your argument is that you are assuming that the only way to win a war is to fight it out.

Right!? If my husband said to me, “I really don’t think I can work with women because it would endanger our marriage.” We sure wouldn’t be married anymore!

I love this. Posted something similar below. I love when dudes are like “WOMEN ARE TOO EMOTIONAL THEY CANT DO THE JOB. WOMEN CAUSE ME TOO MANY EMOTIONS SO I CANT DO MY JOB AND THATS ALSO THEIR FAULT.”

I can understand somewhat the initial concern about physical strength but this is negated by the mandatory requirements. Aka if she can meet the physical strength required, then she has every right to be there.

I agree, in fact traveling with kids could be 100 times better than by yourself. Going to a new place is exciting but do you remember going on vacation when you were young? How mystical and exciting a boring place like the beach is? Now realize that and seeing a kids reaction as they see a new place for the first…

That’s fine. I’m not critizing your or people like your life choices, but kids and marriage aren’t a death sentence. I thought kids would drastically change my life, and they have, in a possitive way, but I still enjoy all the things I did before them.

Great advice on the marriage thing. He will likely experience that same thing later if he gets married and then thinks about kids. Drives me nuts all the people who say, “I want to travel, I can’t let kids hold me back”. While I travel with my kid (now kids) every year, while my married friends who say they want to…

Do the neighbors have small children?

This was my thought. If I was in charge, i would turn the place into a fascist state overnight, regardless of my good intentions. Sure, the first few months would be a good ride, but i would end up putting people in crows cages for tailgating and double dipping at the company christmas party.

Okay, step number one for dealing with the not actually widespread issue of eating food out of the garbage*: you need to be in the care of a mental health specialist who specializes in binge eating disorder. What you describe is not the life of every fat person, and quite frankly, that you think all fat people also…

Jesus Christ. (Assuming) a girl has already been raped, and you have to go and post video footage of the unbelievably traumatic assault online for the entire world to view? How fucking horrible of a human being do you have to be to force a rape victim to deal with the horror of not just being raped, but then having…

I miss the days when Laphroaig was one of the cheaper options among single malts. Bastards figured out what they were missing.

And that’s another angle, isn’t it - the liability a college is open to if it has reason to think someone’s a danger and doesn’t protect the rest of the students. I can see how this is a much bigger deal in a residential setting than in a 9-5 or commuter school setting.

I know people who think she’s this high-minded, above-it-all observer of campus rape cases. It’s just fucking baffling.

She is a female misogynist. That’s all it really is.

She seem to think that because she wasn’t traumatized by her experiences, no one else can claim to be, either, unless they’re a lying drunk slut. Now, one might want to argue that her place at the front of the victim blaming pack says maybe she didn’t escape as emotionally unscathed as she thinks, but until we’re her…

It’s impressive how consistently people claim that reinforcing privilege and the status quo is the only way to be unbiased. Women, people of color, etc., who object to a system that routinely victimizes and disenfranchises them just have an axe to grind, and are thus far too biased to be taken seriously. But anyone…

Her attitude appears to be “there is no such thing as rape when alcohol is involved”, yet somehow also, “the choice of women and girls to drink alcohol causes rape.”

I think it’s less that she wants women to never drink or leave their homes as that she wants to make sure men can rape with impunity. She has made clear again and again that she strongly dislikes women, particularly women who are victims of sexual assault, and she considers it a travesty that it’s even possible…

But part of that issue is that there are a very few people who would be willing to go on record in such a visible way for something like this. I was raped in college by a TA in my department. The response was that I was helped to take a leave of absence and oh-so-kindly allowed to take incompletes on a lot of my…
