Bullshit. Women were coders long before men. Only when it became a job worthy of a higher salary did it suddenly become a job best suited for men. Men made sure women knew they were not welcome and marketed everything computer and tech to fathers and sons. In some other countries, women make up half the college…

Yeah, fuck this and fuck the justice system. This girl’s verdict was handed down on the same day Jeronimo Yanez walked on a manslaughter charge for killing Philando Castile. Apparently you can do time for texting a kid on the other side of town to kill himself, but not for shooting a Black man POINT BLANK in the chest…

Thank you for pointing this out! Strangulation is the appropriate term, and avoiding its use obscures the danger it represents. Non-fatal strangulation is a major risk factor for homicide in domestic violence episodes. Women who are non-fatally strangled by a partner are SEVEN TIMES more likely to be murdered by that…

Strangulation is also a leading indicator of “person who will escalate to killing intimate partner.”

A reminder and personal pet peeve: choking is when something obstructs your airway from inside your throat; strangulation is when the obstruction is external. Strangulation sounds scarier which is why I think people tend to say choke but this is horrific and should be described accurately.

“So yes, incidents where white women are shot and killed by police inspire localized outrage and a lawsuit on occasion. But the level of media interest in Damond’s death is rare. The international outrage directed squarely at American policing and gun culture has resonated across borders, only amplifying the spectacle…

He could have voted no by staying home. He’s coming back to vote yes.

Bullshit sweetheart. What normal, well meaning adult refers to a child as *alluring?* Especially in the same sentence that they’ve called her prepubescent? I bet you’re one of those people who didn’t find anything wrong with what Trump when he told a 10 year old that he’d be dating her in 10 years.

What a fucknut. No David, it’s not out of bounds to discuss the attractiveness of an actor in a review (unless the actor in question is 11 years old like Watson was, you sick fuck). But it is out of line to carry on about it for the entire fucking review, all the while making extra creepy statements like how Israeli…

In the 50's, 60s, and 70s, it was pretty openly joked about: Slipping a woman “Spanish Fly” so she wouldn’t be able to resist your advances. While there’s no such thing as Spanish Fly, getting a woman drunk or drugged in order to have sex with them wasn’t perceived as something bad, you were clever to work your way…

Let’s contexualize:

No... no, Brian, actual rape is still worse. You semievolved simian.

And rape isn’t even that bad anyway, it’s basically the biggest compliment you can get, so why don’t you just lie back and enjoy it. I mean your body will shut down any pregnancy from a real rape, so you don’t even need to worry about that! (cobbled from the worst real life quotes of republicans).

My wife and I were unpacking in the first house we lived in together. She wanted to cut up the cardboard boxes, so naturally I handed her my trusty box cutter, because I had no idea. Between trigger objects, trigger words, the fear when she was alone, the fear she felt when our daughter left the house for any…

“The only thing that is worse than that is the false accusation of sexual assault,” he told jurors, later adding “It can destroy a man. It can destroy his life. It can destroy his future ... I get a chance with your help to protect a man from the destruction of the rest of his life.”

Well of course that’s worse because it destroys a man, where actual sexual assault typically destroys a woman and I think we all know whose life is more valuable here.

“The only thing that is worse than that [sexual assault] is the false accusation of sexual assault”

“I’ve made it clear since Day 1 that this was not intended to be anything other than to give parents an opportunity to obtain a certificate when they lose a child,” Cortes said to the AP.

It’s a legal maneuver to call the fetus/embryo a child and give weight to anti-abortion

Except that people from places like New Zealand talk like that all the time. And they certainly aren’t trying to be purposefully obnoxious by speaking with their natural accents. I am not necessarily the biggest fan of upspeak, but I can’t imagine that most people are doing it on purpose to bother anyone. That just…
