I’m an associate director at a nonprofit in NYC and I make less than half of $160k.

Twitter better stop with this bullshit. If the hair is straightened then it’s a controversy. If it’s natural but not the “right” kind of natural it’s a controversy. Like, stop.

Well that escalated quickly.

He’s right, leaders shouldn’t be expected to be skilled at everything. But you don’t need a special skill to report what you suspect to be child rape.

Do you want me to write a book length response here?

Am I the only one whose grandparents had those little strawberry candies and root beer barrels?

just because his school had a scandal that didn’t involve him at all

Yes, the law and adults who are not deviants consider a child under 18 to be a minor

Why the hell do we need different hair rules for different sexes or genders? Long hair, locs, or a ponytail/bun on a boy is distracting but it’s not on a girl? Are girls banned from having short hair in this district? I know they’re way out in east Texas, but I went to school in Texas in a conservative suburb in the…

their entire defense is a constitutional violation in and of itself. she said a swear and he gave me a dirty look

Why do people even care about kids’ hair? Why is this a thing? Do these people have nothing better to do with their time?

Call me crazy but in the scenario you present, the narrative should be “Antonio Brown is a sexual predator” regardless of her own actions at any point!

Well, yes and no. Nassar had a not-insignificant number of accusations against him from the early 2000s on. The Nassar case really caught momentum after the initial allegations of abuse within USA Gymnastics was reported on by the Indianapolis Star and one of the survivors contacted the reporters with her story. I…

i didn’t think this needs to be brought up until the national election.

I also assume all the dems across the board are pro-choice, should stay that way and anything to make it harder should be rallied against,  I suppose that’s why I thought it didn’t need to be asked.  

This is not really responsive to my point. Royals can’t just “leave”; they can abdicate, but then the crown goes to the next in line. It’s not like the monarchy would end without a change in the laws that govern it. It’s super weird to blame the monarchy for continuing the monarchy when it is the voters and Parliame…
