Argh, I always misspell "therefore". Is there no way to edit?

Weird, the interview I read quoted him saying he would keep him in Montana.
They can't be sterilized because it causes severe damage to the internal organs of the giraffe. It is therefor against EAZA regulations.
There is practically no controversy in Denmark. We have animal lovers, but we are also a small nation with a history of farming and whose main exports are dairy, pork, and fur. While our animal lovers are very much against the fur industry (because it is unethical, wasteful and disgusting) and consumption and…
He said that he personally would have taken the giraffe, which would be unethical as well as moronic. I don't know how the man would justify having a lone giraffe grazing the plains of Montana. Giraffes aren't solitary animals. Selling wild animals to private owners is 100 times worse than killing them, even if we are…
What I'm against is people making shit up and trusting made up how to's instead of actual statistics and survivor experiences.
Yeah, that's what you said before. What are the risk factors and what is it people should be learning to do differently?
Fine, I'll play. What exactly is it you think women need to learn?
I'm sorry but "shock" isn't an opinion or thing that you can disagree with; it's a scientific fact. As for the fact that your rhetoric is damaging: that is something to which I can personally testify.
I don't care whether you are sorry or whether you are victim blaming. I care that the things you are saying are ignorant and harmful. When it comes to being attacked, there is nothing that a woman "should" or "should not" do except, hopefully, survive.
As a victim of rape, and one who did not fight back despite having practiced self defense with my older brother and having taken martial arts classes, I am actually physically shaking from reading some of your comments. My rapist was a friend of a friend who offered to accompany me outside for a cigarette and raped…
Actually, the "Don't be that guy" campaign decreased the number of rape reports in Vancouver by 10% in 2011. The campaign was inspired by a UK report which found that 48% of the canvassed men 18-25 didn't think it was rape if a woman was too drunk to know it was happening, so that category was the target audience…
I would love that link! Thanks. :-)
Several people have expressed sympathy and concern, saying that it sounds like he could have social anxiety. As for the rest, I think his complaint may be calling the sincerity of his statements into doubt.
No, an individual man isn't responsible for the gendered power imbalance. BUT: let's say that I decide to be an engineer, but I don't show up for work because I fear that I will be bullied because of my gender. I don't get to keep my job. I don't get paid, and I don't get to file a complaint with HR. If, on the other…
Thanks :-)
I just love his implicit argument: "You can attract men to your gender studies course by not making them be around women. Coooooootiiiiiieeeees"
I have a question: your childhood experience wasn't that of a boy, but it wasn't that of a cisgirl, either. (Because a cisgirl wouldn't be punished for acting her gender excepting regular old sexism). So what I'm wondering is, do you prefer to be called a trans woman out of respect for the aspects of your life that…
Oops, I accidentally answered someone named "yolo". My bad.
Degenerate? The woman was trying to report a rape! In what world does that qualify her as a degenerate?
