This is what happens when people think just electing the president is enough. You end up with Ryan and McConnell holding pregnant women currently or in danger of contracting Zika hostage to get to defund Planned Parenthood.

I think she might be referring to the specific habitats of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which are most likely to spread Zika and mostly live in the southern U.S.

It’s because it’s a woman problem. I mean sure, it affects babies too, but it should be the woman’s responsibility to either 1) not get pregnant, or 2) not go outside ever if she is pregnant and in an area affected by Zika. If a man gets it, it’s NBD.

Sure. You have to look at how we’ve changed how we’ve defined rape over the years, as well as how we’ve changed how much we care about it.

This is kinda me being a pedant but I do think it’s actually an important point.

If something completely vile happens to you because you are trying to help someone in need (or you are an innocent bystander when someone else is in crisis), sometimes you just have to accept that you were in a shit place and deal. If you then find out that it was a stable person doing it on purpose, you should have…

So, as someone who regularly works with the homeless, I can KINDOF get her point; people do usually just straight up ignore those who are in need, whether that person is sitting around with a sign, panhandling, or actively approaching people.

I’ve been accosted while just going for a pap smear. “We have alternatives!” To a pap smear? Because I would totally want to hear those.

You realize that sometimes a quiet text/tweet for help can save your life vs. a louder phone call? If they are hiding from gunmen, why would they broadcast their position?

With larger rings, the assumption was supposedly that you were more likely to ditch the job after the wedding because a woman with a rich husband was less likely to care about her career.

Is it bad that I was expecting his reasoning to be that it meant no one in the office could hit on her? And that I’m only marginally relieved (but a great deal more offended) that it was “hur dur, the other women will be jealous and wrathful”?

When I was job hunting a bit less than a decade ago, the “common wisdom” among my fellow interviewee ladies was also that you shouldn’t wear an engagement (or wedding) ring—but back then the reasoning was not that potential employers would assume you were high maintenance. Rather, the rumored thinking was that an…

That’s only if Canada manages to get their wall up before the mass exodus in November.

Yeah see this way if a girl gets raped the University can discipline her for breaking the rules and getting drunk.

The Turner case is still reverberating in other ways: Stanford has banned hard liquor at undergrad parties, in what campus officials said in a letter to students was an effort “to build a healthier campus culture around alcohol.”

“It is impossible to talk about alcohol and not talk about sex.”

“Man rape because of alcohol not because they don’t respect consent.”

While I’d like to think that just a few surgical excisions could fix this, I’d imagine that given Ailes’ predilections and overwhelming authority in this entity for that length of time, the right answer is that Fox News would probably have to be gutted to solve this problem.
