We have elections in March next year and I am scared. Even the Socialist Party supported this bullshit law and I just joined them, which I did because the Greens fucked up even more. :’(

It’s interesting that you believe so strongly in agency and yet you think that the words in my comment alone have the power to take away your agency.

Untill he punched the wrong person in the face. All of a sudden his entire behavior became unacceptable and was up for discussion. Before that it was quietly accepted by mainstream media.

We women don’t have as much agency as we think we do and we still need to pay the bills. The alternative is either homeless, starvation or both. I sure as hell can’t afford to stand on principle most of the time. Often my only option to keep my head above water in this patriarchy is to keep my mouth shut and do my…

I couldn’t agree more. I don’t care if being critical of the whole phenomenon of porn makes me a “sex-hating prude.” It is beyond ridiculous that we expect women to see porn as “empowering.”

Should we expect workers at Walmart to experience their exploitation as “empowering?” Yet, the violence that many women in porn…

Why should his victims stand on principle? Men control the porn industry like they control every industry on this goddamn planet. They get to say who works in this industry and who doesn’t, see Jeremy Clarkson. It was only after he attacked one of the hands they fed him that he got fired, after years of terrible shit…

She suffered for it, so it’s only fair she’d get at least some money from it so next time she might actually have the option of avoiding pricks like him.

It is a horror-themed “amusement” park we can’t leave for the next four years.

That’s nice if you book your own tickets, but I travel for work and it states in my contract that my employer will book me on the cheapest flight available. So that will mean no luggage (I will now have to cover those costs myself) and it seems now no longer any carry on either and I travel for four months at the…

I hear more and more people who try to avoid flying at any cost, they’d rather take the train or drive. I can’t blame them. If you can afford it, it’s more comfortable than flying.

I have the same thing. Part of the reason I am looking for a different job is that I have really started to hate flying. My employer also demands I take the cheapest flights, which means more stopovers as well as longer travel times. It’s not just the airlines either, the airports are starting to resemble hell-holes…

Well, since this story is actually about ethics in game journalism, why are the Gamergaters so quiet? This would be a perfect opportunity for them to redeem themselves.

This argument is way older than you are. Women’s lives and they right to some goddamn dignity have always taken a backseat to everything else (read: men’s concerns). A friend of mine said at the beginning of this year she could only support Bernie and not Hillary because and I quote “There are more important things…

I doubt it. Most voters are low information voters and will believe anything that their favorite “news” channels put in front of them.

With such easy access to the internet it is hardly any effort to verify truth of all statements made by any of the candidates. Factchecking websites where running on over-time. Though…

If the facts mattered people would have been more enthusiastic about Clinton than about Sanders.

If the facts mattered, Clinton would have won.

So, here’s my question: How would you do all that hopping around on the floor without pissing off the people in the room beneath yours, especially when you stay in a shitty hotel? Is there a way to muffle the sound?

In the first comment you didn’t use quotation marks and since rape in relationships is still alarmingly prevalent I assumed that was what you were referring to.

It’s also kind of creepy. It’s like they are saying “ You won’t get a perscription without letting us penetrate you.” It’s skirting the edge of coersion.

That’s weird. I’ve never had a pelvic exam before getting BC pills. Over here it is considered unnecessary.
