“FSU plays a prominent part in the film in a one-sided segment accusing Tallahassee police and the University of ignoring sexual assault allegations against former quarterback Jameis Winston to protect the athletic program,” Thrasher continued.

Wasn’t the Cochrane review concerned with the NHS in the UK? Because Midwives in the UK work in hospital or at birth centers and are like Nurse Practionors in training and licensing, I believe. The quality of midwife in America is sketchy and variable at best.

Is anyone going to mention that FSU’s president turned down an offer to appear on a televised panel discussing campus rape following the broadcast of the film and compared it to the Rolling Stone article? It’s not just a Jameis Winston problem — the whole university from top to bottom is absolutely in denial.

Well, they tried calling it “un-godly” or the “curse of eve” but that wasn’t effective in shaming women out of using painkillers.

Honest question for legal Jezzies. Although I, personally, believe that Winston is a vile piece of shit, does he have a case here? I believe the victim, and I KNOW that FSU and local police did a spectacularly terrible job of “investigating,” but he wasn’t charged with a crime. Does this constitute libel or…

I’m late to this conversation, but I’ll try to find time this weekend to write something on flavors of socialism. The term is so bastardized that even socialists (and, y’know, check my handle) can’t agree on who is and who ain’t. Does socialism require permanent revolution? Can there be one-nation socialism? I’ll draw…

I had one of these guys:

There are some good arguments for woman-focused campaigns (increased ease for the too-busy moms/women with intense jobs or for older women (my mom and aunts) who maybe that aren’t super technologically savvy), and he goes with “girls don’t know what to listen to when they’re talking about boys”? All I do is sit around…

drake can stop whining about good girls because he could literally afford millions of them.

Finally, a conspiracy I can believe in!

That makes me happy. Ah, Marx! He’s either my third or fifth favorite economist, depending on how I’m feeling. Sometimes you have to show some of them a little more love. At times, even unearned love, at which most of them would be scandalized. Like pearl grasping and smelling-salts fetching level scandalized. But I…

You are technically correct. I meant, more generally, structures in which the subject of the action presents himself as object of the action.

Their cult leader (who has been accused of sexual harassment) likes hair on women a certain way. So they all have crunchy perms.

He insists on it because he was a devout socialist as a younger man, and can’t back away from it without looking bad. The only way is to own it and redefine it for an American audience.

It’s because they aren’t upset that Josh abused his sisters or cheated on his wife. They are upset that a reporter discovered that those things happened and made them public. They weren’t upset when it was their secret.

I don’t want to watch any fucking Duggar shows until they air a special called, “We totally fucked up and are sorry we subjected you to the horrors of this family, here’s a show about how to treat abuse victims appropriately, love TLC.”

Oooh, the famous “what happened” instead of “what my husband did.” The passive voice is a staple of this genre.
