I think that would be great.

Yup. As a feminist I hate the draft on principle, but if you’re going to have a draft, it needs to be equal. I also hope this will help women in the military already be taken seriously and maybe scare TPTB into dealing with the rampant sexual assault problem there.

I swear to god, there should be penalties for people whose guns are used by family members to commit crimes, and no one under 18 should be allowed to handle one.

I’m sure if it turns out to be real problem, we’ll see some sort of “businesses under two years old” or “businesses under X employees” (like for FMLA) limitation go into effect.

It’s actually very relevant. Rape culture teaches young men that they are entitled to women’s attention and bodies. SO MANY women get shot/killed by men who they turned down or tried to break up with because men feel that it’s an affront to them when they are denied access to that woman. Whether the murderer was a…

Sure it happens. That doesn’t mean it should be the overwhelming portrayal of disability in film, and it doesn’t mean this non-disabled author accurately and sensitively portrayed that choice.

Yeah, that seems to be how it goes. Its easier to believe in unhappy, tragic stories about minorities than to believe that people who aren’t white/straight/abled have just as full of lives as people who are.

On the bright side, I think it’s a real testament to human empathy that people often imagine fictional characters as equal to flesh-and-bood people.

The problem is that this character is not a real person. He is a fictional character with no agency; he can’t “choose” anything. The author has chosen to create a story where the ideal outcome is the disabled person dying. Its a problem when the only stories about disabled people we can imagine are ones where…

A group of fifteen boys coerced an underage girl into sex. There isn’t a way you can cut that where it doesn’t look like intimidation. Even as an adult woman, if fifteen men cornered me in a bathroom and demanded sex, I’m not sure I’d be able to refuse without worrying about the possibility of violence. Add in the…

Those stupid Unpopular Opinion pieces can be divided into three categories:

I just don’t get it! Once in awhile they turn out a really touching piece, so clearly someone over their has their head screwed on straight.

They are deep-fried to get that shape.

But...we don’t even know that this has anything to do with BLM. For one, BLM’s closed fist gesture usually includes the arm extended. For another, people raise their fists in photos ALL THE TIME just to be like “yay! Rah!”

Yeah, I gotta say, all the stories I hear about people being molested in public restrooms are about little boys being molested by men in the men’s room. But you know, let’s make a law that says parents are legally barred from accompanying an opposite-sex child over the age of 6 into the restroom.

LOTS of people have criminal records at young ages and go on to have totally productive lives. And at that age, small time crime probably tells more about their home lives that it does about them. They’re kids. All kids deserve to grow up.

Yeah, my grandmother heard her fall, came in, and saw her seizing.

Seizures can be spontaneous too. My aunt had a seizure in the shower and got a concussion. Very scary. But it was the first and last time she ever had one, and no one could ever give her an explanation as to why it happened.

I wish. They’ve bought into the Fox News doomsdaying.

My parents are diehard Republicans and they’ve decided to vote Trump because, as my mother said, “Cruz is too creepy.” Unfortunately they’re constitutionally opposed to voting Democrat so they’ve talked themselves into believing that Trump isn’t just as nuts. Two months ago my dad would have died if he knew he’d be…
