“Incel” is a term started by the men themselves. It is short for “involuntarily celibate” and they claimed to be that way because, despite being Nice Guys, women wouldn’t sleep with them. They tend to be men who think they deserve sex from a woman because they’ve been hanging around pretending to be a friend for a…

Speech is not protected if it causes harm. So, your average urban legend would be fine, but the majority of what QAnon has spouted would not be.

From the time I turned 12, in 1982, my younger sister and I stayed home alone a lot. Our parents were divorced and we lived with our dad, so he left for work before we left for school and we stayed home alone after school until he got home from work. In the summer, we were home alone all day. We frequently rode our…

So, now you’re advocating an eating disorder. Continually lowering the amount of calories you take in will never be a good idea. At a certain point, you are sacrificing your health to be thin. You lose nutrients and, eventually, hit a starvation point (which just makes your body hold on to fat that much harder.)

Not only that, but not all people are going to be able to access abortion pills. 

Interesting. I hear stories all the time of women being denied tubal ligation (I was denied an IUD due to the small chance of infection that could cause infertility) but I never hear about men being denied vasectomies.

It doesn’t even have to be just a small town. Lots of cities have food deserts, where people who live in the poorer parts of town don’t have choices for where to buy groceries. Especially in areas where the cities are more spread out geographically and have little to no public transportation. You’re stuck going to the…

There really need to be more specifics put in these laws. A vehicle can be used as a lethal weapon, but if the person being “threatened” has a way to get out of the way of the vehicle, then deadly force to stop it should not be justified. Only if you are cornered. We’ve got to start thinking of deadly force--whether…

It is only required if you are both under arrest *and* being asked incriminating questions. Usually, they won’t be read to you until after you are arrested and brought into an interrogation room. 

She could not have had an abortion in Oklahoma at 15 weeks. Abortions are not legal after the first trimester in Oklahoma.

Dude, I did, too, but it just made me pissed at the bird. We have an agreement, dammit! 

“Rape is mythical to straight white men while women walk around every day making conscious choices and decisions in the hope that maybe it will protect us from it.”

So, I used to be in the military and one day a bunch of the guys were talking about how bad it would be for a woman in the military to be captured by the enemy because they would probably rape her.

This reminds me of when I first started getting acrylic nails. My nail tech said, “If anyone asks if those are your nails, tell them, ‘Yes! I paid for them, so they are mine.’”

I feel like a lot of people are discounting how persuasive the negative voice in a person’s head can be.

This is what I’ve been trying to say, but without the experience in the business and just a peripheral knowledge and awareness that models are considered beautiful objects that need to be more beautiful so when they start aging (which, in our society, is equivalent to getting ugly, no matter how attractive they…

In no way is he taking care of himself except financially and possibly physically (although, I would argue against that since he does a lot of his own stunts and has been pretty badly injured doing them at least once.) He’s a Scientologist who has, for years, let Scientology parade him around for their cause (to make…

I think you are seriously underestimating what being in her field can do to a person mentally. Her looks were what everyone considered to be her worth for years. No one cared if she was smart or funny or charming or anything but young and beautiful. Live with that long enough and you will not care if you are smart or…

There are tons of different “American” accents, too.

Also, I agree that there’s a difference between cultural appropriation and actual cultural appreciation. I totally don’t think that speaking another language (which, if I’m not mistaken, is what AAVE is considered) or eating the food of another culture is appropriation.
