Seems to me it’s like fighting any kind of extremist ideology. You show that there are alternatives.

While I have plenty to be concerned about with white liberal male politicians, this is the area where the influx of white female politicians concerns me. While they may be happy to support better health care for everyone, they’re also the first to support de facto school segregation policies because when they think…

Hell yes, especially since he knows he’s going up the types of folks that throw political fundraisers. These aren’t powerless parents, it would be so much easier to back off and appease them.

As someone that was fortunate to get bused to the better part of town to attend magnet school, yeah, there’s a difference. And that caused the same tensions, because you’re bringing kids from another part of town to attend a school with limited clots. But as in this case, the school system knew the alternative was…

Sure, many couples are different and generalizations don’t apply to everyone. But there are cultural and learned patterns around sex, including gendered expectations that unfortunately complicate something that’s supposed to be mutually enjoyable.
