No, she's the one who was given the okay by the CDC to fly to Cleveland and back before showing any symptoms beyond a very slightly elevated temperature.

Jesus, Ebola isn't like zombie super AIDS. They could've dipped it in some bleach and that would've been that. This is absurd and stupid.

And to be fair, the State of Alabama was formed to work slaves to death.

Homie has been on paid leave since August while facing 32 criminal charges and I can't even get my boss to approve my PTO time.

This doesn't excuse anything, because I don't believe you have the right to really complain about our political state if you were fully capable of voting and just didn't, but one thing I noticed about people my age (20s) is how utterly demoralized they are with the state of our government, particularly Congress.…

No, she dismantled our ability to quarantine the healthy. Sort of like not burying the survivors after a plane crash.

I think you meant to say, "Congratulations on dismantling our ability to illegally imprison someone without having a legitimate reason." Because, you know, that's the reasoning that the judge used in his ruling. This did go to court. The decision was based on law, reasoning, and science.

that's a really dickish thing to say.

I'm sorry, how was she a douche for wanting to be treated reasonable and according to medical and scientific practice, not being illegally detained for little to no reason, and speaking out about it so that hopefully this doesn't happen to other aid workers and travellers?

Good for her. Someone needed to be a pain in the ass to this stupid fear-mongering and I applaud her for it.

You need a big fire.

That's not always a bad thing.

"Well, he screamed something explicit at me on the sidewalk and I was so touched and turned on that I doubled back to talk to him and now we're a couple" said no woman ever in the history of human beings.

She's enduring considerable personal ridicule and threats to her safety to try to protect the civil liberties of other members of her (traditionally female, often undervalued) profession, and she's doing it with a grace that I can't muster on my best day.

The greatest injustice in America today is that Kaci Hickox is not my friend and has never offered me sage advice about how to be amazing and unafraid like her.

They included those people because, as polite as they're (supposedly) being, they are part of a bigger picture. They are sending the message that their time and thoughts are more important than those of a woman passing by, even if they don't think they're being malicious. Charity workers on the street may be doing…

Imagine, just TRY to imagine, what it would be like to walk down the street and have random men say that shit to you all day, every day. Asking for your number, saying "Damn" in a way that means "I'm looking at your ass, and I would like to have sex with you". Not women, but men of all ages and sizes and varying…

I think they were suggesting jail time for the commenters making rape threats.

Men get very angry when you challenge their entitlement to do whatever the fuck they want.
