The only comfort I’m finding on that note is that Trump honestly seems too stupid to not implicate himself. All it would take is someone saying “I heard that you weren’t tremendous enough to pull off this collusion with Russia. Were you not the best?” And he would take credit for every last crime.

He’s routinely made the mistake of making enemies of people who are smarter, more diligent, and harder-working than he is. I see this going badly for him.

Thank you. When people leap to assume a diagnosis of mental illness, it only adds to the stigmatisation of mental illness. ‘Person X did A Bad Thing, therefore they must be mentally ill because mental illness is the leading cause of Doing Bad Things’. I don’t dispute that she could have mental health problems but it…

Jezebel commenters’ go-to response always seems to be mental illness. In may cases it seems appropriate, but come onnnnnnnnnn, people can do fucked up shit just because they’re terrible people. And not everybody with mental illness does awful things!

No it is not. The DSM is very specific about criteria that needs to be met. It takes far more than being socially unacceptable to have a mental illness. Otherwise every asshole, jerk, and bully would be mentally ill.

Yes, for the love of god. “Behavior I don’t understand” (and for that matter, violent behavior) is not the same as mental illness and actively diminishes the experience of people struggling with mental illnesses.

This is the longest “WAHHHHHHHHHH” I’ve ever read.

I think that you probably just did more to reinforce why people think 'snobby' wine people are insufferable, than you did to refute it.

I don't know. As a woman in my 50's I think her emphatic insistence that she is still a sexual being can be viewed as kind of revolutionary.

John the Baptist cried out in the wilderness and people went out to listen to him. This guy cried out in the middle of the town square and everyone left. I don't know about you, but I'd say that's a clear hint from God.

I think about religion the same way I think about astrology. As long as our laws aren't based on the zodiac, I don't give a flip. But, unfortunately, our Congress is filled with Christian maniacs who are anti-science, end-of-day-ers. I am concerned.

You're thinking of anarchists, hon. Anarchy doesn't do clubs. And nihilists, who don't believe in anything. Atheists believe in lots of stuff. And many atheists believe in presenting a united front, so that we have a voice against all the God-wad wackos out there.

There is nothing inherent to atheism that causes a person to eschew community organizations, though. I don't see why this is funny.

Maybe it's because one of the "clubs" teaches people that condoms are worse than AIDS, and the other doesn't?

You are *totally* missing the point of Atheism.

I wonder how many people believe that they have a poor moral compass.

There's a term for compassionate MRAs...we're called male feminists. We understand that these issues the MRA's claim to be concerned about are intrinsically tied to what feminism is trying to change. Devaluing women, as the vast majority of MRAs seem to do, devalues us as well.

Hint: they don't exist.

Those compassionate MRAs are being awfully silent then...

I think a huge way men can help (with minimal effort!) is by calling out other people (especially other guys) when they demonstrate misogynistic behavior/language. Countering the idea that being a man involves denigrating women, I think, makes a big difference. If enough guys do it, rather than brushing it off or…
