*Longform piece from an actual touches-grass real world activist about the uselessness of Extremely Online Leftists*

I feel like you could’ve written this article without holding the US up as being that much further ahead than Europe in holding abusers accountable.

Well, silver lining to this gaffe: your response is wholesome and affirming. Thanks for the positive internet interaction. Those are rare, so I feel much obliged. 😊

Kinja can be a cruel mistress. Chin up - we’ve all been there.

MTS could be a daughter or a sister. What difference does that make?

i’m not sure where they live or the laws there, but in Canada if you move out they can claim you abandoned the marital property. i know people still living together 3 years into a really nasty divorce due to this problem. it is really dangerous considering under normal circumstances emotions are running high, but i…

trump, lanez, manson...what a day

One day before the ruling, Peterson begged Herriford not to “ruin his life” during a court hearing: “Please don’t ruin my life. I could be your son. I could be your brother.”

Do you know how many women in jail who did far less than what Holmes did would like to be let out due to being new mothers? Do you know how many of them get New York Times profiles?

Holmes and Elon both look like reptile aliens wearing badly fitted latex masks in order to pass as hoo-mans, and they behave like such.
