Something similar is going on in Russia: while the state peddles hardcore patriarchal values and cracks down on abortion, queer people and removes the domestic violence law, the feminist movement is growing. It becomes more and more apparent, that without push-back we are going to slide back in women’s rights a couple…

... and than they would have to deal with boys who also went to boys-only school and think women are from Venus.
Fun fact: the rate of PTSD among sex workers is more than 50%. Among veterans it is about 10-12%. Women in prostitution literally have higher rate of PTSD than torture victims. Yes, even in Netherlands and Germany, where prostitution is legal. This blig constant legalization propaganda is disgusting.
It seems Trump has been listening to Vlad again. He is also not a fan of protesters. I should know, my brother was arrested for protesting several times. He lives in Canada now.
I just wish that people had options, free ones. That is so obviously in the interest of a nation. But there seems to be a monopoly by AA in the USA, one that is a result of lobbying to some extent. The “handing things over to the higher power” would not work for me, I’d have to surrender what makes me the person I am…
I hope you are doing well! There is no such thing as universal approach with these things.
Your reply is very thoughtful. The statistics that I mentioned I did indeed took from the article and I recognize your point about methodology.
It may not be for everyone, but AA has laughably low succes rate. In Europe tratment is much more effective for several reasons: 1) in rehabs work only qualified medics 2) they actually teach self-control and not jut condition to never touch alcohol 3) they use medication that allows you to drink less.

Isn’t it funny how even on Jezebel Conway and Coulter get trashed for looks? Those two human beings are repulsive due to their words and actions but actually look quite good for their respective ages of 51 and 56. Misogyny is okay when it is turned against your enemies, amirite?
We are not at the point when such a declaration is free of all the associated baggage. I mean, do you want every male celebrity being asked on how good a lay their last girlfriend was? I definitely don’t.
also, ew. If he said about her that she gives great blowjobs it would be appalling, so I don’t think she should be saying this either.
No, I said that it wasn’t a wide-spread phenomena in Russia, almost never happens to me (certainly not 30 times in a month, as per famous example from usa), and when it does happen it is a watered-down version (they don’t resert to offensive comments and don’t make me feel threatened). I mentioned that it wasn’t…
I’d say it’s not universal. Almost never happened to me in Russia, and when it does, it’s not Russians who do it, but people from southern parts of former Soviet Union and they just say something like “what a beautiful girl”. Russia is still horribly misogynistic, and tensions intensify, but this particular problem is…
So, this ad is actually a reaction to even more atrocious statement by a Russian official. She emplored Russian women not to sleep with foreigners during FIFA event, because it would lead to fatherless children. She especially stressed how bad it would be if the fathers were “of the other race” because “we need our…
I’m with you on that one. It’s one thing to be horrified by Trump’s creepy behavior towards his daughter, and another thing entirely for it being used as a butt of the joke. I cringe every time when I see it. On every article about Ivanka there is a gleeful comment about Trump wanting to fuck her. There are so many…
I think she means kefir or ayran. Kefir is widely popular in Russia. Could be store-bought or made with kefir grain - a strain of yeast. Basically you do what you described, but with the help of specific yeast you get specific result. Try asking Russian immigrants for kefir grain, kefir is one of those things that…
It also bothers me that we have not moved past the name-change for women and straight to the “children get father’s last name”. Because if you don’t change your last name, but your children still get their father’s name, then what did not changing it achieved exactly? I’m tempted to solve if by having both matrilineal…
different brands have different “throat kick” intensity. Where I live Luxlite (a disposable e-cigarette) gives a powerful throat-kick.
seriously? Unions are the only reason you have days off and paid overtime. Do not take those things for granted, the minute unions are out erosion of workers’ rights begins.
