The problem is that people making this argument are presenting it as if people want to get rid of the word “woman” and replace it with these phrases in all situations. This is just not true. No one wants people calling them a “person who gives birth” in general life. These phrases are specifically used to talk about…

I knew a FtM man who was pregnant once. Would those midwives have insisted on calling him a woman while attending to him while giving birth? Because that doesn’t seem like it would be any better than having a doctor in a hospital treat you like a disembodied uterus.

Using an inclusive term doesn’t get rid of or negate terms defining groups under the umbrella of the inclusive term.

Hi. Sorry this is so late but I just needed to say this: If Walmart wants to sell abortion pills, Walmart will sell abortion pills. That business has way, way more power than pretty much any government entity. I can tell you that, here in Oklahoma, Walmart would 100% win. Stitt can’t win against the tribes and Walmart…

Sure, I get it, but at the same time, most people don’t make enough money to move somewhere else. That’s the point, really. I mean, making what I make now, I probably couldn’t afford to live in most blue states. I certainly couldn’t afford the actual move because I can’t really jkeep a lot of savings right now. And…

I am so onboard for believing women when they say they were sexually assaulted, but I know way too much about Scientology to dismiss outright the idea that they put these women up to this.

I read the book thinking it would be like the movie but maybe more fleshed out. Man, I did *not* know what I was getting into. That book was weird. And I hear the sequel is even weirder.

I’m pretty sure I went to a Ripley’s once on a family vacation eons ago.  It was interesting but I like weird things.

This is a very weird comment for this article.

Until they do more than just strike down Roe, any prosecution is out of federal hands because federal law will say nothing about the legality or illegality of abortion. By striking down Roe, they are just saying that the federal government is staying out of it from now on and letting each state decide for themselves.…

Much more practical for the zombie apocalypse.

In addition to what Mescalito99 said, it is also a protection so you can’t be forced to tell on yourself. Even if you are guilty, it is the government’s job to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. They can’t make you admit to something. And it really is an added protection against the government forcing innocent…

I kinda want to play paintball with drones now

In Oklahoma, walk into a gun store, pick out a handgun and a rifle, place them on the counter, fill out the Brady paperwork, wait 10 minutes while they call the FBI number to run your background, pay for them, leave with them. You can get your ammo there, too.

There is a difference between and explanation and a justification. You can explain a person’s reasons for doing something without justifying or excusing what they did.

I’m pretty sure that Tulsa cops already have M-16s an have for a while. Not the ones with the full auto (there aren’t even a lot of those left in the military anymore) but I’m pretty sure I remember them having the three round burst kind. Actually, M-4s, which are the same thing but with collapsible stocks.

No, no! Everyone wore pink the next day in solidarity with St. Francis (St. Francis hospital is a pink building also known as the Pink Palace.) I mean, that will help, right?

How does it feel to have no empathy and to not remember what it was like to be young and afraid of authority?

Oh, fuck that!

Except by these rules, I can’t use my account on vacation or on my break at work or at a friend’s house. Even if no one else in the world has my PW but me, I can only use it at home. Fuck that.
