Ugh, auto correct. I meant to say it made a huge difference in both their lives after the fact.

Yes! And also the power of peer pressure when a social group has no tolerance for sexual assault. I think that hat makes se a husband I’ve difference in the lives of the writer and her assailant after the fact.

Kinja win’t let me star you, but yes, exactly this. The whole idea that gymnastic prime is so Young is a social construct of the sport, not biological fact.

I think the problem is that he honestly believes rhetoric the GOP spouts but largely understands to be bullshit: the Iran Deal is a Bad Deal, Obamacare is Bad for our Country, etc, etc. He’s so dumb he wants to enact propaganda as law.

Awwwwwwww

Oh my god my blood ran cold.

When I think about my pre-Obamacare “free market” insurance, I just can’t believe anyone wants to go back. I paid $100 per month and it covered basically nothing. I had $5k deductible and $5k coinsurance (remember the scam that was coinsurance? Fuck coinsurance.) I got it basically so that if I were hit by a bus I…

The pre-Obamacare world was not that long ago. I was uninsured from age 22, I bought my own insurance without Obamacare starting age 27, and bought through Obamacare when I was 30, the year it started. I’m only fucking 34! Everyone should still remember how shitty it was!

Feeling good about the work you do and being in a better environment is worth a lot. I still think they should be paid more. In general I do not believe that we should pay prisoners less than minimum wage.

I think this is thre result of two fucked-up ideas that are prevalent in our society.

I saw Gone With the Wind in a theater with an intermission, and it was great. I needed a bathroom break.

Hey! As someone who habitually shows up at the theater at exactly the start time, I appreciate the twenty minutes of ads. It gives me time to get some Raisinettes.

Whenever ther’s a conversation about women in STEM, some guy showdown up with the argument that “no one makes women leave science jobs and STEM education.” The truth is, though, that the men who assault and harass their colleagues are doing just that: they are trying their best to force women out.

No one involved in the case is saying she couldn’t make decisions, not even the hospital, so stop it with all that. Now you’re just making things up to find more reasons to say that she was wrong.

Hi,

Wow, you must know you have a pretty weak argument, because to defend yours you have to completely mischaracterize what I wrote.

If it was your wife, you wouldn’t take the doctor’s advice, your wife would have the option to take it or not. That’s the point, this is her medical decision to make. Hopefully, if it was your wife you would support her when a doctor tells her that he doesn’t have all for her, or tells her that I feel doesn’t submit…

Yeah, I’m a little like...Jezebel? Where are you? Where are the women who unapologetically believe that women get to make our own medical decisions?

Wait, women aren’t property and my uterus isn’t a yard across which a fetus is crossing, with or without my permission?

Have you listened at all to NPR’s series on maternal mortality in the US? It’s all terrifying, but the last two are the most upsetting. Basically, medical staff at a birth are so focused on care for the baby that they don’t have adequate knowledge of what to look out for in terms of the mother’s health. NPR doesn’t…
