This is why I get really bugged when people comment about how my sons are going to get all the girls when they're older. Yes, they are pretty, and in my incredibly biased opinion, they're really good, polite, respectful, intelligent kids. But that doesn't mean jack. Being a good guy does not mean any girl will love…

I just want to say, from what I understand, the other guy in that recording is the one that recorded and shared this confession because he knew just how fucked that whole thing was. So while we're all losing faith in humanity, remember this young man! There's still hope.

I know, I know, I KNOW, I'm victim blaming here, but I don't give a flying fuck: what do you want to bet, based on what we know about the Boobers, that "Jaxon" (UGH WTF) did something to antagonize the dog into biting him?

Because that concept sort of frames the developmentally disabled as Sweet Adorable Pets and thus dehumanizes them, or because the idea of not ending a pregnancy that you know in advance will produce a severely disabled child seems both irrational and cruel?

What is sarcasm? How does it work?

So happy you understood all I meant to ask! :) Thanks for the info!

It's like a racial Victor Victoria.

It's a little murkier than that. The bodily harm line of cases arose in the context of consensual fist fights. The court said it's not assault to hit someone if you've both entered into a fist fight since there's an implied invitation for the person to hit you. But as is often the case, one party can take things too…

If there's a silver lining to all this ugliness, it's that there's a discussion taking place about consent in Canada, or at least it seems so in my circle, among those who I can't imagine having that conversation otherwise. My dad of all people said last night to me, "people who are kinky must be angry to have their,…

I just wanted to say that I am seriously obsessed with "Blank Space" right now.

Not to worry! There are plenty of old white people, particularly on Facebook, who have all the answers. One of them is my terrible uncle Bob, who also has a question: "What if there was a movie called DEAR BLACK PEOPLE?!?!? WHAT THEN?!?!" We've never discussed it, but I suspect he has similar concerns every February.

It just made it that tiny bit more depressing and exasperating to me. She rejected him with patriarchy-acceptable ego-saving language and he still killed her for it.

I completely agree. I hate that we're trained to say it- but I hate, even more, that that's the one thing that's most likely to work.

"I have a man, I can't talk to you"... Obviously, this is an awful story of misogyny however you cut it. But on top of all that, I still wish for a world where saying "I belong to another man" wasn't the first thing we were all trained to say to get rid of harassers. It's not like, if she were single and told him to…

If he isn't enrolled in a federally recognized tribe, he is also in violation of federal laws by possessing and wearing those hawk feathers.

they have to establish damages..."you screwed up" would be good enough to get their money back. But a healthy kid with a different skin tone is much harder to quantify damage...so they have to expand the damage as much as possible. Once a lawyer writes it up...it always sounds ridiculous.

I'd say her racism is hardly a proven fact here.

thanks mojie :)

I'm genuinely shocked by the spelling and grammar. The reasoning is shit, of course, but that is much better spelling than I expected from a Duggar.

Don't be fooled. Don't be fooled into thinking that she believes that the removal of embryos is as bad as killing a human being. What she really means is that the killing of Jews is as serious as killing a 5-week embryo. TRUST me. That's how much she cares about the killing of Jews, Roma and gay people. Very little.
