The sort of shitty dude that makes women feel that the only thing that matters is the appeal of the sacks of flesh on their chests probably gets used to women apologizing for them not meeting some specific expectation.

But I can also acknowledge that just because there is a rape scene in a book it does not therefore mean the author is condoning it.

Other locations were considered. But Israel is the historical homeland of the Jewish people (to be clear, this is not to say anything about modern borders or ethnic majority) so that location was decided on.

The thing we invented the term “genocide” in order to describe.

What’s the point that you’re imagining you’re making here, genius?

when does potential life become life?

Linda Blair, at least for the story, is a talented and horrifying McGuffin that helps the priest finish his arc.

See how easy it is to condemn things that are horrible?

Now that I think a little more deeply about it, I guess it’s not surprising at all that today’s fashion-victims don’t even know quality (or lack thereof) when they see it..... Because the materials used in so many modern clothes are ALSO utter shite.

But this description of a woman “wring[ing] every last drop from my body” as if his penis is a dirty dishtowel is really something to behold.

This is what I said:

would Israel have a right to exist

Oh, you’ve condemned Israeli apartheid, then? My bad. I only saw you wagging a finger at a black woman for not living up to standards you don’t appear to live up to yourself.

Go ahead and cite a “right to exist” for any country in international law. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

They were waving a rainbow flag with the Star of David on it, not “a rainbow Israeli flag.” That’s a significant difference.

It’s what I like to call “Proprietary Racism.” I have the right to be racist because of history. It’s despicable and morally bankrupt.

I don’t buy the “it’s complicated” line.

I was just thinking this same thing.

Louis spun it as though he always got permission, but that’s not actually what his victims say.

the argument against Louis CK was never about “a lack of consent,” but about a “power imbalance.”
