Personally, I would have given my ID when I was asked. BUT - I am not a woman of color, I am white and I am aware of my privelege, so I will not judge how she felt she needed to handle the situation. I wish other people - even here - would look at their own privelege before jumping all over her choices.

I'm going to slam you on this car.

I keep hearing that you don't have to present ID just for walking around. If you're driving, sure you need your driver's license, but if you're walking down the street, you don't need ID. Maybe I'm wrong, that's just what I've heard.

If you think driving a PVC pipe into a kid's chest is something your parents would do, and normal, I urge you to discuss this with someone.

Protip: If you can't find someone on FB by their name, search their email address(es) and phone number.

But the family was trying to scam her too, by not having a proper employment contract and not paying her as the law requires. So they don't get much sympathy from me.

Room and board? What about wages? How is she supposed to live?

Actually, once they fired her, they could evict her without notice. By evict, I mean they could go ahead and file the eviction lawsuit immediately. Don't know why they didn't. Their legal problem isn't the eviction, it is the fact they apparently weren't paying this woman. In California you have to pay a domestic…

Nobody cares about your pet project. Sorry.

Except that the law isn't mandating a medical procedure. It's affirming that children who haven't undergone the procedure can be prevented from attending school.

We've all been there. You live with your body 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You know its little ticks and quirks. You know when there is something wrong with you. Having a doctor misdiagnose something despite your insistence that it might be something else is maddening.

I think it's worth pointing out that women are consistently told their medical issues are less serious than those of men. Women are significantly less likely to receive medication for pain from a doctor, and are more likely to be told it's a psychological issue. Cool.

Uhh, because they have families who might like to know what happened to their missing relatives? And because the discovery of mass graves usually necessitates autopsies and police investigations to identify who died and their cause of death? I thought these reasons were obvious.

Shelby couldn't face the responsibilities and guilt at being a failure as house cat. Announcing that she was "going to go get a pack of cigarettes", she set out to free Paula of her presence hoping she'd learn to forget her and move forward happier without her.

Facts & Statistics

Many women lose hours at work as they are the ones who take care of the kids when they can't go to school or daycare. They are the ones who take care of sick parents too. Since women do the majority of the caregiving they miss more work. Your mother's oncologist doesn't offer weekend appointments.

Unless you're living your entire life in a series of house flips or building a log cabin for your family by hand, home maintenance is occasional and sporadic and would never in a million years add up to the hours disparity banked in housework.

I read this yesterday and have been disturbed ever since. This part, I think, bothered me the most and made my blood boil. Basically, the sheriff blamed the victim:

Right now, Justice Scalia is super torn, because while he strongly leans toward ruling in favor of this dickbag's right to threaten his ex-wife with impunity, he's uncomfortable with the idea that he may, however indirectly, be endorsing rap lyrics. Or the Internet.

MoGlo, I literally couldn't read your piece, as my 21 yo daughter has also been (gang) raped this year by three varsity basketball players at her small Texas school but wanted to say thank you for continuing to shine a light on these crimes. (eta: raped by three, one just encouraged from another room)
