Counterpoint: No.

For that matter, if France is so hell-bent on “rescuing” women for their own good from oppressive, patriarchal systems that demand obedience and chastity from them, then why aren’t they liberating nuns, too?

nahhhh we’re just overeacting. There’s nothing wrong with a group of armed, fully head-to-toe clothed men surrounding a lone woman and forcing said woman to remove her clothes in front of the public and her child for no good reason. euggggh

Was trying to keep it PG 13.

The way that a gun can be bought almost as easily as a pint of milk is terrifying. Stomped out of the house to cool down after an argument? May as well pick up a shooter and finish the job once and for all. It should NEVER be that easy.

The best I have found. Good cleansing with very light exfoliation, no rashes (most products give me rashes), easily balanced with a moisturizer.

He looks about 14. Hard pass.

Going to create a better standard:

That “tiny piece of debris” was a bullet, you dip.

The title is godawful, but I’m probably going to watch this.

I love that she spoke up for the other woman who were being treated the same way.

We really need to overhaul the entire justice system - not just our police forces - all of it. Our training, our hiring practices, psych evaluations, the policing culture, everything from the bottom up.

It’s really amazing. It’s especially frustrating to consider the fact that This American Life gets constant criticism for the vocal fry that their female contributors exhibit, but IRA GLASS—who has like a textbook example of vocal fry—never gets criticized for it.

Not sure how I feel about this. I mean she was part of the Manson family, so yeah no parole makes sense, but she was 19 when she did these murders/helped with these murders and isn’t our justice system supposed to be about rehabilitation? I get that Manson himself should never see the light of day, and to be honest if…

Absolutely. At the same time, we need to teach our sons that it’s wrong to grope, ogle, stalk or otherwise abuse and disrespect women...and that there are consequences for doing so.

I don’t know if this is good or bad, but my daughter can throw hands with the best of them. She has no fear of throwing a punch, and she does not back down.

You jest, but point in fact, the loss occurred when they were down three players because of the detentions. I can hear on the horizon the bellowing whinges of a thousand affronted Anglophone dudes who’ve never watched men’s volleyball in their life but are now uberfans bewailing the Politically Correct Police State cum…

So if someone came into your house and gunned down a guest, and then the family of your guest sued you for not hiring armed guards for your house, you’d go bankrupt rather than do anything to defend yourself? You’d accept the loss of all your money, your home, a good chunk of your prospects for retirement because…

Then maybe they shouldnt have tried to cash in on the deaths of their family members?

So they make money and therefore it’s okay to sue them for something they’re not responsible for, threaten to appeal and keep suing them when your case gets dismissed, and expect them to shoulder all the legal fees?
