The most outspoken? That seems like a stretch. They get better media coverage - for way less effort and money - than Planned Parenthood or NARAL or the ACLU ever will just because they have Satan in their name. That’s the gag, but they are far from the most-outspoken group on the subject.

I’ll take that bet.

All your points rely on both the driver and the passenger responding completely rationally. You suggest that ever person who might want to commit rape, and every person who is the victim of violence, is going to use common sense.

If Mitt Romney drops dead tomorrow we're in the clear!

And yet we let him and Cheney in afterwards, despite the whole war criminal thing.

Most pedophiles also insist that they interpreted some action of the child as consent, but to present that sort of claim, without questioning it, and then making a joke about it, would be absurdly offensive and irresponsible - if we were talking about a child.

I realize you are probably trying to be a trolling asshole, but you are fundamentally correct.

It is gross and sucky.

Nah. Canada is about the same level of badness as the States when it comes to this stuff. Slightly higher ratio of reported rapes to charges laid than many states, slightly more likely to result in a conviction, but nothing to be particularly proud of.

I always figured I was alone in just loving Nagrand in Outland because there hasn't been anyone there in like 4 years!

In fairness, we also don't have a lot models or messages that encourage men to connect to other people (especially women) in ways that aren't about power or sex. We rarely celebrate plutonic friendships between the sexes. We generally celebrate the 'will they or wont they' narrative and 'Oh okay. I guess they weren't…

This! My heart breaks for a lot of these guys. They are joining a cult-like movement, being taught deeply flawed 'science' and horribly mutilated theories about human cognition and evolutionary psychology, all of which appears to be effective for basically the same reason that not washing your underwear during the…

Thank you for pointing out that what they are in fact arguing is that Brittany Maynard deserves to suffer for eternity in hell.

Worth mentioning that his long-time PR agency, a boutique Toronto firm, dropped a day after Navigator started directing inquiring to them.

Yep. My first thought was "Dude, surely you could work the beauty bias a bit and get ahead?"

Amen. Vinson poised a negligible risk when she first left. The CDC gave her permission to move, and she trusted their authority and expertise on the subject. Perhaps she was wrong too do so, but shaming and blaming her for acting in accordance with the judgement of those with the authority and expertise on this…

Not so attractive as to be intimidating, but truly attractive.

Right! I read this at first and was thinking "Hey now. You are absolutely right that this can't be presented as a purely sentimental and romanticized time period of them white ladies living off the avails of slavery, but we need some space for drawing inspiration from and discussing historical arts an crafts even when…

Or, ya know, treat your partner like a fucking adult and tell them what is important to you. "Hey. I really want to do X and I want you there. X will mean wearing Y. I'll help ya figure it out. You game?"

I take a very similar approach with my big baby. Having him do tricks that break his focus from the other dog (before it gets too intense) are the best way to deal and I often visit dog parks - without actually going in - to have him practice being calm and attentive with other dogs around. He's not a rescue, but he…
