So you think that redundancy in using the word “slave” twice is more offensive than the fact that the word “worker” erases the depravity of the slave trade? You should really reflect on why you even asked this question in the first place.

No it isn’t the same at all. Because there is no central muslim server that can manage everyone who labels himself muslim.

Students shouldn't get suspended if their parents are assholes.

I know courts have ruled that uniforms in public schools are ok, but this degree of rigidity is so messed up. It makes me wonder if they have some other issue with this family and are using the wrong shade of green as some passive aggressive way to obtain compliance or to push them out of the school system altogether.

I am glad to see elder care mentioned and discussion of “family” leave. Because even if you don’t have children or plan to have children, women also generally end up bearing the responsibility of caring for sick parents/siblings/partners.

I’m not convinced you ate enough.

Today is not the day your comment didn’t make me crack up, because it did!

I have no idea how to present menstruation to my daughter in a constructive way. The mechanics of it are easy, but she was just so horrified at the most basic description (you bleed from your vagina up to a week per month). And then pile on the cramps and the moods and the GI loveliness. And while in a perfect world…

Thank you. I downloaded that song on Napster a million years ago and I still listen to it but I could not remember why I knew it existed. But of course I saw Stealing Beauty a million times a long time ago and I must have hunted it down at the dawn of music piracy.

I’m almost 40 and when someone calls me Miss instead of Ma'am I have to restrain myself from hugging them.

I’m sticking with the report I heard on NPR today.

So people of color complaining that they are treated unfairly by law enforcement, often resulting in detention and sometimes death is encouraging victimhood.

I actually would love to know how many truly horrible people attempt to get on a plane everyday and are thwarted. Any justification for what appears to be “security theater" would be welcome.

Bc women of a certain age don't have a lot of choices if they want to work. And because she got her start in horror.

I wonder if Ahmed Mohamed would have been afforded the same treatment.

It isn’t like all the Carlos Danger stuff came out after he was hired. So unless Weiner did something really egregious after he came on board and no one is talking about it, it is hard to see how the folks at MWW don’t come out of this little episode looking quite foolish.

Fiorina’s was the only one you could stomach? Ted Cruz acknowledging the suckage of Andrew Jackson vs. Hamilton and advocating for a black woman is quite tolerable for me. And why can’t we do both get some ladies on money and fight for more rights for women. Fiorina’s answer was actually bullshit from someone who…

The issue isn’t that the well constructed thoughts come out rehearsed. It is that substance of the thoughts end up just as meaningless as Trump’s gibberish bc they generally manage to avoid any concrete positions other than platitudes consistent with their party’s ideology and when they do say something concrete you…

He also used it to create the long form Hawaiian birth certificate.

I was going to say it was the equivalent of “not all men...” Same idea. Disappointing to hear from a woman in a speech defending herself against the kind of sexism that makes focus on women's issues necessary.
