All the mayo demons who talk about a second civil war need to pay attention because this is how that shit will play out.

“He was getting aggressive.”

let’s get these out of the way:
“Try that in a small town”
“They should have just complied”

What else?  

Reads the grays.

It will be a G.I. Joe/Transformers mashup.  Just you wait...

I know of people who have moved out of state, for this exact reason. Overzealous public officials.  They want their kids out of state as well.  Stupid TX government guys, what the heck are they doing?

This is good, if sure to be shortlived news. But the inevitable appeal will yet again put the lie to the GOP claim that they care about women’s health, and sadly this ruling will likely be overturned and that overturning sustained by the right wing state courts and federal district courts, and if it gets that far, the…

Yup. This. I can imagine being on tour, especially early-ish in Lizzo’s career of being a big star, everything was blurred lines. Like, there’s no chance Beyonce hangs out a clubs with her dancers after the show for this very reason. 

I tend to agree with you. Do I think many of the incidents happened? You bet. Do I think Lizzo doesn’t see them as harassment but as “interactions between friends”. Yep.

Because of the collaborative nature of a lot of art, people feel more relaxed than they do in an office setting, which means boundaries get loose.…

A lot of things that between friends who know and trust each other are just jokes and banter, can also be considered sexual harassment when they happen in a professional relationship. Which is why you don’t treat your employees as friends.

Take off and??

Yes, and there are also trans men who can and do become pregnant.

“I say unto ye, she must be burned at the stake!”

Fuck Off.

I’m not sure it’s helpful to list all the possible people who can be pregnant, because then it becomes so easy to exclude someone. After all, your choice of language excludes another very large group of pregnant people who very much need access to abortion but who are explicitly targeted right now: pregnant girls. The…

quite a missed opportunity with all of them in one place...

So, is this panel important or a bunch of nobodies signaling the only way a woman would want to have a child with them is if there were “no takes-backsies?”

While the condemning a woman part seems terribly on brand for these assholes, the whole thing seems to ascribe a lot more agency to the woman than they tend to do. Isn’t the real problem here the man who put his seed somewhere that wouldn’t, couldn’t or a least isn’t going to yield good fruit? Why are these guys…

“disregard for optics” is, I believe, the current GOP platform.

If they are ever able to get this kind of legislation through, then I bet their next step will be to legalize rape. But also, eliminate child support.
