It’s simple, really.
1/2 situations in which Men use the toilet require the seat to be down (unless you shit standing up, which...is just impressive)
2/2 situations in which Women use the toilet require the seat to be down.
Therefore 3/4 times the toilet seat needs to be down.
edit: holy fuck people I’m not saying Men…
And we are already off to a FLYING start.
The one province in Canada where abortions were unavailable has agreed to provide legal, publicly-funded abortion…
It’s even been proven that traumatic, violent episodes can actually DIRECTLY fuck with your ability to remember shit. The human brain basically goes “HAHA FUCK YOU NO” and does it’s very best to not remember what happened as a method of self-preservation.
I think, as Canadians, because we have it so good (materially) that the justice and social systems are somehow going to be good too. I've come into contact with the police (and a gay black man, it's no fun) and I can only imagine what women must go through to press charges against their abusers. Sighs all around. Stay…
My memory sucks even on a good day. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be if I had to remember stuff from a traumatic, violent episode in my life.
Exactly. The Crown did a terrible job preparing these women as witnesses. And now a serial assaulter gets away scot free because of it. Wretched work,Crown.
Especially given the fact that they were very much the ones on trial, as Ghomeshi didn’t even take the stand. The case was entirely about how shitty they were as victims. They were hung out to dry.
She has felt tremendous guilt, she added: “After I testified, I felt like I had to go up to every person in the world and apologize for ruining the case.”
The prosecution fucked this one up. The women should have been told all of this way before the trial. That the women are now saying that they only learned about the power of “post-incident conduct” during the trial is a complete indictment of the failure of the prosecution. The prosecutors should have been sitting…
Yeah, cause who can trust the testimony of a woman, much less several women who are obviously in cahoots.
Judge: “there is no tangible evidence, dna, smoking gun, just the testimony of the women”.
The ‘just’ in that sentence really gets me. Like it’s so inconsequential that three different women on three separate occasions had these experiences.
As usual, women pay the price for sex. As usual, men can beat and denigrate women but the women are the ones who are on trial. Fuck this judge, fuck the media, and especially fuck that asswipe Ghomeshi.
I am so gutted.
My ‘spiritual’ friend dumped me when I got chronically ill. Because it says so in The Secret, you shouldn’t consort with sick people because it will attract more sickness. Some spiritual people are sick in the head. Namaste cuntface!
Words are hard.
Jesus, seriously. He fucking ruined her life. I can’t fathom how a teenaged girl could ever recover from having this done to her. Fuck him. May he never have another peaceful moment in his pathetic life. Fuck him. Fuck. Him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck…
welp this is what happens when we collectively obsess over the sexuality of barely-pubescent girls. Fuck this guy in particular, but fuck the culture that encourages his fucked-uped-ness.
Having suffered years of sexual abuse from my own father and being too afraid to tell anyone, the fact that this young woman had the strength to tell a trusted adult speaks VOLUMES about her. I wish I could hug her and tell her how brave she is.
