I’m an AEMT, and I reeeally prefer working with other lady medics when dealing with angry or combative patients. Women are better at dealing with/de-escalating/calming volatile situations down than most men. I think a lot of it comes from how women are enculturated and expected to be the ‘peacekeepers’ of not only…

I once worked with someone who, when called out by his supervisor on a threatening statement made in a one-on-one situation, said, “I would never say that because then I would lose my job.” He made the threatening statement to someone I had always known to be honest. She was so upset by the interaction that she wrote…

Meanwhile here in Australia, two female conservative party staffers have gone public because when they reported their cases of sexual assault to senior party figures, they were given the brush off. They were given lip service, it was suggested they should take it as a compliment, and then later when one of the accused…

Jameela Jamil and Piers Morgan got in some kind of argument over Meghan Markle.

Obviously, the NYPD can’t focus its attention on minor crimes like repeated sexual assault and attempted rape by its own when there are purveyors of loose cigarettes prowling the streets un-strangled.

An NYPD spokesperson told the New York Post that there is “no tolerance for sexual harassment in the NYPD,”

Exactly. Because to our brains, no matter how horrific it may be to realize it, your baby can be glitched over just like milk or keys.

Men = Everyone

I really do suggest you read the WaPo article. People like Harrison don’t prioritize work over their children. They aren’t negligent parents. They literally fall victim to a brain glitch where they think they’ve dropped the kids at daycare. When you drop your kids at daycare, do you think about them every minute like…

Having your child die a gruesome death from a horrible mistake seems like punishment enough.

She’s a woman. Whatever slight advantage she may have is natural. It’s not different than Micheal Phelps freakishly long arms and 130% natural lung capacity that may or may not be related to Marfan Syndrome. You will never be able to convince me that this targeted attack on her isn’t racially motivated because…

Better than the stuffed animal: Take off your left shoe and toss it back there.

Exactly. I’m many years removed from having kids this small, but I wasn’t when that WaPo article came out, and it was heartbreaking not because I couldn’t imagine it happening to me, but because I absolutely could see just how it might.

Right, but the whole point of the article is that they did not leave their children to die in a hot car because they were “busy at work.” I’m surprised that’s all you got out of Gene Weingarten’s work on this subject.

I think that WaPo article should be required reading for everyone.

You must be very new here. As the old saying goes, lurk more.
