That is absolute garbage. We communicate assertively through non-verbal language all the time.

This is a prime example of how we have encouraged and championed male “persistence”. Its a cancer. This is a modern “baby its cold outside” moment. We all know its creepy and sadly know it happens all the time.

Yes and no. By her account she physically tried to avoid him and he ignored such behavior. And he then ignored her very specific verbal request.

Ansari’s actions clearly crossed a line. The comment he made about one more drink after she slowed him down was a clear violation of consent.

I simply can’t imagine what it’s like to experience and persevere against the antagonism and hate that is thrown her way.

Its this sort of petty vindictive article that is feeding the “anti-MSM” rhetoric in this country. Its cathartic but politically hurting any effort to counter Trump’s platform.

Are federal employees protected by the 1st while at work? I know of a handful of ways agencies constrain federal employees, like prohibiting political endorsements or even participating in political rallies while in uniform.

I think talking about the need for conversation on how to move forward with these behaviors while emphasizing the importance of sidelining it until the future is fine. This is a critical moment in American history and it doesn’t need to be tamped down with such talk yet. Victims have been shamed, silenced and harmed…

I tend to think “contact theory” is true in this regard. The more time we spend with people the less they become ideas to contemplate and the more they become humans we can understand. But as you have pointed out, our communities were intentionally and unintentionally designed to be s segregated. I live in area where…

So how do we as children of these white parents influence this implicit bias? Asking sincerely and rhetorically.

Every deescalation training I have done focuses on the person in power, not the person being led. In this case it was clear the former officer had no control over his own reaction to the situation which is a worse case scenario. He should have never graduated from whatever program that trained him in these tactical…

The way this country still stigmatizes mental health problems is gross. PTSD is a life altering condition, I know, and I can only imagine the scale of that distress from working on the scene of that massacre. These first responder departments need to be funded to honor the sacrifice these workers make and the ranks…

Ugh, why don’t these officers have more deescalation training? That situation is so preventable.

Is there a term for cognitive dissonance at the national level?

The tax bill has been challenged and ridiculed on every front by left-leaning media outlets. The coverage of Moore and Franken hasn’t been mutually exclusive with that coverage. Jezebel has run multiple stories about the tax plan and there is almost universal resistance from democrats on the hill.

That’s a rich take. Identity politics has existed in this nation for decades without “killing the nation”; its just gained a new awakening as a pejorative by those who misconstrue its content and intent.

Only those void of any ethical center could turn an issue as universal and monstrous as sexual predation into something as narrowly partisan as Roy Moore’s election.

Glad justice is served but it’s an indictment of society that it takes this much evidence to prosecute sexual predators.

I can’t wait for the DNC to dump the likes of your garbage politics as its reborn. Principles aren’t pawns to be sacrificed in a political game of chess.
