Yes, there is a lot of information about there about rape culture, and no, I'm not asking her to unpack it. I know about it. I understand it. I'm asking for her not to set up neurobiology as a complicated thing we don't understand very well and then immediately come to the conclusion that the shitty people are somehow…

I'm not arguing that stuff at all — I think it's great when policy changes are made based on the best possible objective evidence available. I overwhelmingly support that and I think it'll make a world of difference.

Yes, that's exactly what I said, word-for-word, for your oddly specific example. You are really awesome at reading.

Oh, I don't disagree that it's a discussion worth having — it absolutely is. I understand what she's getting at, I'm just not particularly happy with making it sound as if shitty people with shitty attitudes aren't also affected by...well, a potentially shitty neurobiological setup. Which...I should clarify, this is…

Hey, look. I'm with you through most of this article and I agree that we need to examine why rape/sexual assault testimonies are viewed differently than others, buuuuuuuuuut...

In some cases, it can help make the point clearer when the oppressed group in question is not as well-known as being oppressed as another. For example, I recently wrote in to a radio station that is usually progressive about LGBT values after a host used a tranny joke. I told him that based on what he's said on his…

Bayesian logic, my friend. You don't ignore the priors. For example, OJ Simpson barely scraped through a trial where it was glaringly obvious to anyone with a pulse that he murdered his wife. He then goes on to write a book called "If I Did It". Now wait, how do we know this book is going to be a thinly-veiled…

Sorry to hear about your losses, grief can be a pretty heavy weight to carry around. I hope things get easier for you soon.

HOLD IT TOGETHER, OLOGIES. JUST HOLD. IT. TOGETHER.

CHECKMATE, ATHEISTS.

Yessss! All of this! All of this forever! Babies couldn't even pass a basic animal sentience test until a few months in, AFAIK. In early embryo stages, they are virtually indistinguishable from other vertebrate embryos. This magical fetus bullshit needs to go, for real.

The deep interest these shitgoblins take in the sex lives of everyone and everything around them is starting to border on satire.

Ugh, you're right! I looked it up, and you can't figure that out until about 18-20, and even then they're not 100% certain. WHAT IS THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN?

How can they possibly get 'purposeful' movement out of a sonogram? Purposeful movements require thoughtful intent and a 15-week fetus is not even conscious. And is having a hand between your legs now just rounded up to full-on masturbation or did the sonogram also capture the intricate and minuscule animations of…

Women still not having access to climb the ladder to a position of power in the business world in an age of supposed equality, amirite?! rimshot to the head

UM.

That's a good point. A combination of better mannequins, accurate sizing, and accurate pinning would nip this one pretty handily.

Did it not occur to you at any point in looking at these mannequins that the clothing put on them was too large? Not only would you need to pin the fabric to make it look right, but uh...I'm pretty sure going down a size would achieve the look being presented? As others have pointed out, it's not really as nefarious…

There aren't enough "grown-up tops" in the world to cover this man's existence.

Psh, I love your attitude! Own those babies and don't let anyone tell you any different. Also keep rocking the baby goat :D
