I hope no one makes the conscious decision to watch someone burn to death because they might be sued for helping them.

This is terrible advice.

I feel pretty confident I would be. I generally have no qualms about confronting these bastards, especially since they are WAY less likely to kill me than their intended victim. I have a tire iron for this very reason. If I had the chance, I would have hit the guy with my car.

I did this recently and I was so scared because I was like, maybe I misread the situation I thought I saw (I got away from it as quickly as I could). But it sure appeared that a group of people were beating up a woman, and I just felt like I'd rather be wrong than assume she wasn't in trouble or that someone else…

Good point. It seems like a truly horrible, horrible way to die.

Men are also more likely to leave terminally ill wives, and women stay and help the men through.

Does it? I have to do first aid training every year and the paramedics always tell us that’s a myth that stops people helping but never happens unless you do something way outside what is reasonable, like try to perform open heart surgery by the side of the road with only CPR training, but that could be different in…

“Weak, insecure men will be the death of us all.”

Actually they do. Statistically women live longer without a husband to take care of. Men live longer with a wife to take care of them.

Indeed. I’m not qualified to deal with most emergency issues, unless it’s a crowd control situation I will only get in the way or cause more problems. But I ALWAYS call whatever applicable phone number, non-emergency or emergency. I’m fairly certain they hate me and have a huge call log, but if I see someone get rear…

I like to think that with a trauma as great as having your entire body put on fire you’d go into some sort of shock that precludes pain. God, I hope so.

Obviously this sort of awful violence happens to women all over the world, but it’s really fucking me up that this girl studied at the same university I studied abroad at in Rome, and was killed blocks away from where I lived. That was the year of the most unrelenting and dehumanising sexism I’ve ever experienced, and…

But they have to stop the non-existent transgender threat. You know to protect women and children that are property of said republican men. They get to do whatever they like with their property so domestic abuse laws aren’t in their best interests.

I’m just...

Yet the Republicans won’t sign a Violence Against Women Act or prevent domestic abusers from easy access to guns. In India abusive men throw acid in women’s faces. This is real, people. Needs to stop.

Maria Monteleone posits thatPaduano’s motivation for the slaying was that he “didn’t accept being abandoned”

Ego. Fragility. A culture of male entitlement. Narcissism.

What the fuck is wrong with people that they think they should do shit like this?

I have never felt pain like the one time I burned my FINGER. This is absolutely heinous and vile.
