I pointed it out because this lady has the assumption that women have a ton of agency, and that they should just grow up and not let this stuff happen to them. Mine-and Clio’s - counter point is that its too complicated to say that women have all the power to always fight back when this happens. Merkin implies that…

Dude you don’t have to choir preach at me, I know it’s not the same thing. I’m solidly in your camp on this.

So the birth control thing is an anti-sex thing. For some reason people keep assuming if you take away the “free pass” for sex, people will just stop having it. It’s so dumb.

Of course it isn’t the same thing. Don’t be ridiculous. If people were honestly concerned about the unborn, they would logically be pro-contraception. That the anti-choice people are also anti-contraception makes it clear that their real interest is in controlling women’s lives. Period.

Anyway, after the election of Donald to the presidency, I think it’s fair to say that it’s not actually possible to be too transparently opportunistic to be a viable candidate.

Good job, Daphne— you get an MRA Bingo on your very first try.

It’s so cliche at this point. A lot of leftists, as they call themselves, proclaim to care about income inequality and what have you but oftentimes it’s jusr white surpremacy under a different disguise. Write a column about breaking the banks and everyone acts so progressive but anything on women and/or POC gets shit…

A woman once yelled at me in a supermarket for my, “poor customer service attitude”. Except I didn’t work there; not just that department, but not for that company. Maybe don’t use your fellow grocery store shoppers as a point of your article, is what I’m saying.

She’s not going to fuck you, Daniel.

How did the NYT find so many completely useless human beings to write opinion pieces for them? It’s impressive.

I am so fucking sick of hearing about due process with regards to this, for two reasons. First, due process applies only to the government. None of these guys are getting prosecuted. So fuck off with that. Second, even BILL FUCKING COSBY still has defenders. You think these predators aren’t getting the benefit of the…

Ugh so here for that.

I loved the Last Jedi and I think this makes an INCREDIBLY important point, which is we need just an entire movie based in the bougie ass casino watching asshole alien malcontents do debauchery.

Nope. Huge Star Wars fan and this funny piece did nothing to upset that.

So you ate LifeSavers while watching lightsabers.

I don’t think unions are perfect, and yes, crap like that needs to be exposed for the bullshit it is (which we do NOT have to do at my job). But the current system of “corporate gets to say/do/decide whatever and you have no say or security, and you can be gone at a moment’s notice for anything” is far from ideal.

for sure...but its tough to educate the people. i see this similar to our trouble in finding good science communicators and why the best are not “professional scientists” like Bill Nye. sure, we’ll find the NDTs from time to time but because terminology is not well understood by the general public it is hard for those…

This was absolutely delightful.

The winner: Prince.

Not to mention how they turn their back on attempts to help them actually learn something that might give them a job in the future instead of waiting for a dead industry to resurrect itself.

I dunno. The number of dudes who think I want to fuck them just because we made eye contact as we passed each other on the street would suggest this is a more common phenomenon that you contemplate.....
