That’s a fair point. A little thing; she wasn’t arrested, she was issued with a summons to court. It is a minor distinction, but she was never handcuffed. Either way it shouldn’t have happened. I just checked and the charges were dropped a few days before she was due in court, which is good. Also she was charged with…

Yeah, I don’t mean to speak for the world on this one. Just the USA. I don’t doubt that other western countries also have a problem with erasing trans folks and POC from queer history. But I’m not well-informed on the specific events of the British gay civil rights movement.

Hah! I had a similar reaction. The “child studies” comment is so painfully obfuscating I gave up halfway. I just can’t with the “underpinnings,”the “universals of play,” the overuse of the passive voice and the pronouns game (the subject of the comment starts out as “she” but then switches to “you,” etc.). D+.

The response of the students to their meeting with school executives is embarrassing. They’re complaining about a lack of “empathy” from people that are acting professionally. These aren’t their therapists; it’s the goddamn DEAN OF THE SCHOOL..

Did anyone actually read the Yale professors response to the halloween costume letter?

Of course it’s weird. It’s the Graham Norton show. The joy of it is in the absurdity.

It’s hard to imagine someone like that having the ego to run for President. I can only imagine he was forced into it by a mean bully.

How about this one?

Seriously. Comparing marriage inequality to slavery and internment camps does not seem like a great way to argue in FAVOR of it.

“I am attempting to have it both ways by being vaguely disapproving while asking why we can’t all get along.”

Slaves did not lose their dignity because the government allowed them to be enslaved. My employees did not lose their dignity because I kept trying to show them my dick and putting my pubic hairs on their drinks. If we’re being honest with each other, I’m not sure what the word dignity means. What’s happening, again?…

is it just me, or does that snippet of Thomas’ dissent kind of read like he’s in favor of slavery and internment camps?

I’ve changed my panties like 13 times reading Scalia’s dissent

Clarence Thomas talking about dignity is pretty rich all things considered.

Call me drastic but isn’t the normal response to this situation to want to chop his dick off? Or at least Carrie Underwood style personal property destruction? I’m not saying you would/should act on those feelings but as someone that has been blindsided by a long distance cheater I can speak from experience that my…

the debate was had. you lost. by a score of roughly Sherman’s March to the Atlantic to nil. your flag commemorates hatred, treason, and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of americans in the name of preserving white supremacy. Dylann Roof waved it knowing that you and the entirety of South Carolina stood behind him…

Leicester? I hardly even know her!

“Please explain comedy to me.”

As I see it a lot of the victim feminists grabbed onto ideas about pervasive power structures in Foucauldian and other post-structuralist writings without also grabbing the more nuanced analytical and ethical dimensions of power relationships and ethics.
