Yours is a popular belief. I’d encourage you to unpack it. The devaluation is not a necessary consequence of her action, other people have to actively choose to use her previous uncertainty as evidence against the existence of bisexuality. Put the onus of change on those people, not her, because when you really think…

What if I told you I was infantry in the Iraq war and lost plenty of friends fighting for your freedom?

Highlighting the menace of stiletto heels will always be a matter of greater public concern than the Spencer tiara.

I think you’re seriously over-estimating the number of sincerely repentant child abusers (and Hitlers!).

I see no need to question her grief, or take up the mantle of jurist in a family dispute.

It’s not defending Trump, it’s challenging patriarchal notions that are so deeply embedded in the culture that people on the left can rumor-monger/make jokes for weeks about this with no apparent recognition of the fact that she doesn’t owe us public appearances. She isn’t missing. She just isn’t performing for us.…

Bill encouraging Trump to run, followed by Hillary losing to Trump, is the most Clinton thing ever. The second-most Clinton thing ever was itemizing the donation of Bill’s used underwear to charity.

I realise that this is a site mainly read by Americans who are not familiar with the various human rights fields

It’s weird, as it’s become easier for Republicans to win state-wide elections in Missouri, the quality of candidates has gone down. I’m not talking policies, just basic political competence.

I think that infinitive wants to be free!

Did you consider splitting this infinitive?

Cops are reliably bad at mental health interventions. We’re trying to reduce the number of mentally distressed people they injure/kill on mental health checks before we expand that particular portfolio.
