Seeing as our nation has seen slavery, the genocide of the native peoples of the Americas, the Trail of Tears, the Civil War, and the post-reconstruction terrorism against African Americans in the South, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the, “explosion of white violence” after Trump leaves office will be not…

Newsflash: the civil war is already here.

Ever since I’ve heard mention of a ‘Second Civil War,’ I’ve always been confused by it. So, in the first one, we had defined sides with defined territories. i.e. the Northern States, that wanted to at least appear civil and like every other ‘civilized’ country at the time, and then the South, who wanted to right to…

This, I’m not bothered by. It’s above board, it’s known what was given. I consider is an Upperclass Twit Tax. They can’t be assured of getting in on merit, so they get in by paying a massive premium over the standard tuition rate.

Honestly, I have zero problems with this. They’re not trying to game the system, like Laughlin or Huffman; they’re making it straight up obvious that they’re buying their kids’ ways into the schools. Everyone will know the offspring are there because mommy and daddy paid millions for that privilege, and their…

I think it’s best to look at Baby Boomers and understand that they’re probably not going to change their minds or beliefs about certain things. And honestly, certain things were tolerated (and I mean tolerated, not considered acceptable) by women until 2015-2016. I certainly tolerated things by men I shouldn’t have.…

She’s not wrong. Focus, people. Even if you can’t stand Biden, the touching thing is way at the bottom of the list of reasons not to vote for someone. It’s basically harmless and yeah, if you’re up in arms about trivial shit like that, you either have it way too easy in life or you’re a professional outrage queen.

I’ve lost count of the number of women, who were mild acquaitances at best, who believed it was totally appropriate to hug me as a greeting. The hypocrisy behind this faux outrage is just staggering, Its as hypocritical as that campaign from a few years ago: “I have the God-given right to get so blotto drunk in public…

She is right. The response has to be measured to the offense. There have been no allegations of groping, sexual harassment or sexual assault against Joe Biden. The complaints are more about the conventions of personal space. He is a man who assumes he has paternal access to all women by rubbing noses, kissing on…

She's not wrong about the "get over it" part. 

neighbors testified that a lot of them have similarly been confused about which floor they were on; something like a third of them have done the exact same thing that led up to the shooting: parking on the fourth floor thinking they were on the third and not realizing it until they were trying to open the door to…

It’s not, but much like Bernie being on the upswing, if Splinter keeps saying it, maybe they can will it into truth.

I’ve been a fan of Stagliano’s since the Buttman series back in the 90’s, and I’m interested in what he has to say here. But, I think he’s making the wrong move.

Said 50 year old woman also grew up with alcoholic parents and a mother who sold her to men for sex, so yeah, not exactly a woman with a healthy sense of self.

I always struggle with the difference between coercion and being clear about what one needs/wants in a relationship. I’m fortunate enough to be in relationships with people who are on the same page as me about non-monogamy, and I dislike drama to the extent that I entirely avoid monogamous people who are ‘willing to…

She chose a 25 year old man over her own children and she blames HIM?  She made bad, selfish decisions and now wants to avoid responsibility.  Cry me a river.

Its a little sad that a 50 year old woman is claiming to have been manipulated by a 25 year old. Especially noted rocket scientist Ashton Kutcher.

Yes, for that time period China is only 11% of the overall total, however they joined the game relatively late. In 2016 China accounted for 29% of total global emissions while the US accounted for 16%. I’m willing to wager Internet Bucks that 11% has gone up a few points over the past 8 years since that chart was made.

Person with intense feminist bona fides here to say that I worry that Warren isn’t electable, not because she is a woman, but because she is a policy nerd.  Now, that being said, unlike most policy nerds, she can message her policies extremely well - understandable, relatable, compelling, and so on. But are we really…

During the primaries in 2008, my 90 year old grandmother, who had a professional career in St Louis that began prior to the great depression, would not support Hillary Clinton because she was a woman. This is a woman that had a professional career when it was an unusual thing for a woman to do so. She also did not…
