Oh, ok. Hadn’t really noticed. Sounded weird to me, like it was someone I was supposed to know. Thanks for clarifying

Ha! You’re so formal! Hope you don’t use “Mr.” for him all the time ;-)

Who’s Mr. Smuttens? Sorry, didn’t fully read the article

I’m as liberal as they come, and I have been accused of homophobia and “slut shaming” on the reg. Hard to try to be critical outside of the accepted narratives without being flamed

Huh. I must not be Jewish

Ok, and I believe the particular way women’s contracts often go out of bounds, subjugating and comprising in ways based on gender, makes sex work stand out. And because the anatomy involved are the genitalia, this has a different meaning - on so many different levels and not in some precious pearl Christian ideal,…

It’s ok. I’m not going to judge you, or “flame” you. I am not going to “troll” you here. You are safe.

I would argue that it’s BECAUSE of the intimate nature of the coercions that set it apart from other industries. Tears in the vagina versus a grease burn IS the difference. And I don’t understand how you can be so nonchalant at how porn abuses of power are directed totally at women. While other industries might have…

No. Not a popular opinion here. Actually, I agree that porn is the problem as well, but only because porn as it is now is all about objectifying women. If a woman’s subjugation weren’t all porn was nowadays, I’d be as pro-porn as the rest of the jezzies. Of course, they’ll give some malarkey about female directors at…

Yeah, that was a stupid statement. For years the narrative was NEVER believe a woman who accused a man of... well... ANYTHING. Nonetheless, not quite sure how swinging totally in the polar opposite position really helps anything either

That makes even less sense than my colleague. The “evidence” used to prove a link between autism and vaccines has been shown to be a result of faulty procedure and “p-hacking”, i.e. Taking a small sample and then repeating the experiment until the desired results kinda come out, or at least to publish an article. All…

That is so disingenuous I don’t even know where to start. It’s like calling the Democratic Party the party of slavery. Not exactly incorrect, but horribly horribly inaccurate when given baldly like that without context

Thank you... now if we could only do a recount for all those unconstitutional voter ID that passed with *just* enough time to prevent voters in this election (especially N.Carolina), but not enough time to get overturned in court

No, you’re missing the point. This is GOOD not because we’re trying to WIN but because the elections in these states were SHADY AS FUCK and they NEED to be called out for it. Don’t give up, don’t back down. Even the Feds think this election was fucked with

Not true. Malfeasance needs to be called out and called attention to. While I am not expecting to get away from a Trump presidency (puke, gag, diarrhea for two weeks), we need to make sure EVERYONE knows that THIS is how elections are stolen. This was how the 2000 election was stolen, how the 2004 election was…

Not disagreement me with you. But point remains - their actions were HIGHLY circumspect and would’ve been cause for redress in any other nation (hello? Not allowing the international election officials in? The SAME people involved as in 2000?). Trying to discredit truth-out for providing the same facts with albeit a…

Well, even before hacking has been ruled out, we KNOW a lot of these battle ground states passed laws disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters *just* in time for the election, but not enough time to be challenged in court. Scum!

Was actually gonna link to the MoJo one. Did you read it? Because it raises more questions than it answers

Not tales of, DEFINITELY hacked. Nobody ever pursued it. Like you said: best interests of the nation.

I re-watched Rachel Maddow’s brilliant take down of the anti-abortion argument.
