I have serious concerns about the ethics of that interview, too. I’m not convinced he was with it enough to give consent. If I were the producer I wouldn’t have allowed him on camera.

I’ve noticed that America loves women (and girls) with potential, as long as that potential never turns into actually doing better than/challenging a man at anything.

Kamala Harris is the only Senator on the judiciary committee who’s an actual prosecutor. This seems to especially bother John McCain (who’s been sitting in and interrupting her despite NOT being a member of the committee).

It feels like this is the beginning of the 2020 presidential race, where people like Kamala Harris, if not Kamala Harris herself, will be running and we will once again be subjected to widespread sexism and misogyny (and if a candidate is a women of color, racism too) which then white men will gaslight us and deny it…

There’s a program in Florida that is making huge strides in cognitive behavioral therapy. Ultimately, those doctors realized that there is *no* punishment that will faze these individuals, but they are hugely motivated by pleasure. So they devised a points system for good behavior and then CONSISTENTLY rewarded the…

Yeah, it seems like most fancy private schools around DC have some religious affiliation. Sidwell Friends, where the Obamas and Chelsea Clinton went, is technically Quaker.

As someone who grew up going to an Episcopal church...is there some other definition of that particular congregation?

Let’s call 45's supporters “Christians,” not Christians. The quote marks make a world of difference. The actual Christians I know (I’m one of them) are busy building houses for homeless people, operating food banks, making sandwiches for people living in shelters, marching and talking to legislators for social…

Look up the United Church of Christ, for starters. There are definitely Christian churches that aren’t particularly shy about being pro-LGBT rights, pro-choice, pro-immigrant, and anti-basically-everything-Trump-stands for. “Local church not made up of assholes” just doesn’t tend to make the news the way angry,…

I mean, I guess yeah that certainly is a practical, media-savvy way of looking at things, that’s possible. I just feel like that helps normalize the whole ‘feminists hate men’ type narrative, by making a distinction between “this is a feminist story” and “this is a story applicable to all people”, as if the 2 things…

How about the one that is about rape/PTSD from sexual assault survivors? Are those relevant issues for women? Or that shows a frank and realistic look at sexuality; substance abuse; and many other topics that mainstream television are often too scared to depict, especially with regards to women?

It sounds like dissociative identity disorder, to a tee. She was abused as a child and would spend hours each day fantasizing that she was an African Princess. She took on a new personality to escape the abuse she was suffering and it carried over into adulthood. I do agree it is not white supremacy, at least not on…

impulsiveness plays a huge role in suicides and successful suicides. something extra seems to jive if that person is normally successful in their attempts at other things, it would follow their suicide would be successful also :/

When you think about it, it makes some sort of sense. Suicide often occurs because a person has lost all hope, in themselves, a future, everything. Those that have little, however, can still cling to hope that someday it will be better, even through the depression.

Those that have everything and still feel depressed? I…

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”— Leo Tolstoy

The 80's were rough for us. It was more common to feel that way back in the day than it would be today. :-/

Angela Merkel, leader of the free world, summed up Putin pretty succinctly: ‘I understand why he has to do this — to prove he’s a man,’ she told a group of reporters. ‘He’s afraid of his own weakness. Russia has nothing, no successful politics or economy. All they have is this.’

I honestly don’t know what the answer is- if he’s inciting violence, that’s not protected speech under the First Amendment and he can’t hide behind it. I just feel that more than anything he’s a famewhore who just likes attention- all of his appearances after the protests only focused on what fascists Berkeley…

As much as I know the fascism arguement likes to be carted around, I prefer to think of it as “This is what United States business looks like.”
