One of my sons is named Luca, which Dad flipped about when I told him that was going to be the baby’s name; he’d only ever seen it in ‘The Godfather’, said we have no Italian background, didn’t like it at all. It didn’t matter, always win the name-fight.

I love the truly internet-ancient article in the Atlantic from like, 1982, about the historic scam that diamonds in the jewelry market are. 

Yes, but that’s very well known.

How does that compensate the women who’s careers he derailed, who have had their avenues of wage-earning cut from under them?

I really wish this was at the top of the thread, it really explains the damage he inflicted on these women professionally, when a lot of people are going to get hung up on the “gossip” angle.

Someone down thread pointed out that the slandering of these women’s sexual reputations and claims of spreading diseases, weaponized gossip intending to undermine the careers of these women he literally owes his career to, can constitute defamation, so tell me what constitutes an appropriate punishment?

So did you mount this rigorous defense of Bill Cosby based on the same misapprehensions?

Social approbation is completely appropriate in these situations, the law doesn’t lead, it follows culture. It lags behind our disgust, and we collectively drag it into the 21st century.

How does the CoS pay for your hard work spamming comment threads concerning members accused of sex crimes? Didn’t bitcoin just drop out?

Omg, thank you for the pointing this out! The homicide rate for trans people in the US is horrifying, literally no sub-group is murdered at the rate transwomen are, and this stale cockwad is spouting this “social media” bullshit!!

I call the larger class of women married professionally “accessories”.

That’s an entertaining story you’re telling yourself, but God-Emperor Obama doesn’t existin this reality.

It’s a pretty fucked up headspace, that’s for sure!

I laughed, but I think you may have made a mistake in not tagging your sarcasm.

Literally one of those are cotton totes, and it’s in the negative column.

I’m just curious as to people assuming the American Diet healthy for infants to segueway off breastfeeding at a year, when the rates of overweight toddlers are still a concerning thing.

Literally every woman in my family of 100+ cousins nurses, all of us beyond 2 years. I nursed baby-was-going-to-be-last until she was 3, and I’m currently nursing baby #4 at 16 months, and planning on continuing. We’re not most mothers, and neither are y’all.

Date as many women as possible until all of us have this power!!

The NIH recommendations are a baseline, not best practices.

Okay, A Dad, riddle me this: why do countries like Sweden, with a much higher percentage of working mothers, also have much higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding for the first year? Could cultural support lead to a greater number of mothers successfully nursing, or do Scandinavian moms just magically make more, hm?
