It reminds me of the Steubenville rape case where the media couldn’t help but lament about those poor sweet boys whose lives were now taken away from them...because they were convicted sexual predators.

I live in Chicago. We have professional dog walking services for average people. I would imagine it’s somewhat common in places where professionals have pets but work during the day and want to make sure their dogs get adequate exercise/don’t mess up their carpet. I’ve used them on occasion when I need to, and if…

Yep. Even with our super trained, Canine Good Citizen, extra certified therapy dogs, we’re super careful about dogs getting close to each other and we document every single “incident” even if it wasn’t really a thing, if only to keep a record in case someone comes knocking with a lawyer. I don’t know why you’d want to…

Right? I think they can hit somewhere around 40 MPH in three or four strides. They’re amazing and also so not the dog you want to risk losing. Luckily they tire out super fast too.

Steer are different than bulls in this regard because the money is in the breeding potential. For reference, the world record price was set just a couple years ago when someone bid over $600,000 for a bull in Idaho. Average bulls are much closer to $7,500+ range, but if he was spending the money to clone it, the bull…

Good bulls can be super expensive though, and a non-aggressive bull is like a 1 in a million thing for some breeds. It might’ve been just as cost effective to clone it with how pricy some lines get.

Ironically, the woman may have to sue BECAUSE of the healthcare system. The cost may be such that her insurance basically requires her to do it, otherwise they won’t cover anything.

Not a dog walker, but I volunteer for a dog rescue group and a canine therapy/certification group. Stuff happens, but it is always your responsibility to keep dogs at a safe distance and under control, especially if you know they get excitable easily and double that if they’re bigger.

It is when people believe there’s a grey area to sexual assault. Plenty of harassment is excused away like this because it’s just “how boys are.” Think of the whole “women can’t be put in combat roles because what if men can’t control themselves and women can’t stop themselves from tempting them” line of thinking.

Remember: Rape culture doesn’t exist! People who claim they were sexually assaulted are just looking for money! Guys who were sexually assaulted are all closeted homos anyway! Rape survivors are broken people! And so on and so on.

Between my 8th grade and senior years at a private school, two different male teachers preyed on female students, both of whom had just turned 16 (and one of whom wasn’t even 16 when it started). When the school found out, they “strongly encouraged the girls to find another school,” aka kicked them out without putting…

It’s amazing how many are saying, “Well women were too busy jumping in with Hilary to go to Sanders’ campaign, so this is what they get.” Yes, because I as a professional will absolutely risk my reputation and livelihood on any woman who walks in the room. If only they’d been thinking clearly from the start! Silly…

This is the glass ceiling in action, unfortunately. If there are women who are talented/experienced enough to command a higher salary in the middle ranks, for example, why are they not worthy of promotion? If there are women who are just as influential in his campaign as their male counterparts, why are they not…

If all of the talented, capable women chose not to support your campaign at any point - because let’s remember, these are job hires and not slaves so they can bounce whenever they way - then don’t you think that say something more about your campaign and hiring process than it does about women? Believe it or not, our…

Different strategies. The Republicans have a much higher job turn over rate, and they focus state to state. Dems are focusing on the country as a whole, if only because they’re both likely to stay in longer, if not till the end.

Please pause for a second and think about what you’re saying.

I think they pay more, but your job security is terrible.

I go by a gender neutral nickname. It’s always pretty telling when people call and ask to speak to “my boss” or something equally stupid.

So they’re important and influential, but that’s not enough to pay them the same as their equally important male counterparts then?

What you’re failing to take into account is the hiring gap. This is the literal definition of the glass ceiling. If Marco Rubio and John “Every time I talk to a woman I say something stupid” Kasich can find qualified women, it cannot be impossible. He may pay women more on average, but if he’s unwilling to promote…
