We’re at least earlier this year! It’s absurd that California, the most populous state, largely doesn’t have a say in POTUS elections, but we have much more of one this year.

“You try to dignify what you do, but it’s just misogyny. Age-old male violence against women.” —Stella Gibson (played by Gillian Anderson) to a serial killer in The Fall

I thought it was really well done.  It’s the first documentary I’ve seen that truly gives a voice to his victims, as well as the women who were instrumental in finally bringing him to justice.  

Another consideration: How good is that insurance anyway? I know many people who have employer-subsidized health insurance, and it absolutely sucks. In fact, I’d say MOST people I know who have tried to use their insurance for anything other than a Dr. appointment every once in a while believes their insurance to be…

“Sexual needs” is such a horrible, idiotic, misogynistic term that is exclusively applied to straight men. Even and especially straight men who are violent towards women, it turns out. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard an authority figure use that term in connection with women or LGBT people.

Where’s the sex? The word “sex” implies consent from both parties, and children are legally incapable of consenting to sex.

In an ideal world, paid parental leave would be mandatory for all new parents, either from birth or adoption. At least 4 months for both parents to bond with the new baby, physically recover (for the birth mother), and adjust to life with a new human being to take care of.

So what you’re saying is you have no guiding ideology whatsoever, you just like “certain candidates.” And all of those “certain candidates” happen to be white guys. If you were with Bernie in 2016 and you’re with Pete now, you seriously have no idea what the hell you want out of a political candidate other than “I…

Maybe this is a good place to brag on my wife (slightly OT):

If everyone who voted for Jill Stein in 2016 voted for Clinton instead in three crucial swing states, Hillary Clinton would be our President. And Trump won those states by less than 80,000 votes combined. That’s all it takes to change the outcome of an election in America. Less than 100,000 people, strategically…

Tulsi Gabbard is being groomed as Putin’s third party candidate if Warren gets the nomination. She’ll be the “moderate” choice for any Democrats and Independents who are scared shitless of progressive policy ideas because they’re pig ignorant. And the beauty of being pig ignorant is that you’re also too uniformed to…

And you just know Tulsi is going to run as a third party candidate in the general. You just know it. I can’t wait to hear her terrible justifications for doing exactly what a Russian mole would do, all the while trying to shed the image that she’s a Russian mole.

The Tale of the Fire Ghost!

This woman got a medal of valor...for killing someone who was potentially shoplifting at Walmart.

It’s not prejudicial at all. He was simply saying what the state would seek, in terms of punishment, if she’s convicted. The “if” in his statements makes it non-prejudicial.

This is why we need mandatory paid leave for BOTH PARENTS when a new child comes into the home, either through birth or adoption.

Not only did Mueller not find it, he didn’t look for it.

Ah, yes. When women are entitled to bodily autonomy is just some unknowable, hypothetical, academic, philosophical question to be pondered by men the world over as they battle for political power!

So which is it?

I didn’t used to be, but the last three years have really turned me into an ardent man-hating feminist lesbian. I mean, I was a feminist and a lesbian before, but the rest of it is a consequence of watching men over the last three years.
