I'm not implying that PA types are always wrong. As I noted in the post, "[It] risks pathologizing compliant defiance in the face of authority, whether it be work-to-rule actions, the Occupy Movement, or (sadly) a potentially abusive home or work environment." I realize that PA can be useful tool in some contexts.

This article implies that the person who is being passive-aggressive is always in the wrong which is completely bogus.

No, no, you all stay under your bridges, thanks.

Religion needs to be banned from government and this wouldn't even be an issue. Republicans bring their religious ideologies into government and then tell Republican women they are doing Gods will by letting men control women's bodies. It is a travesty and needs to be stopped.

This is huge. Really. It's an acknowledgement of the modern world. For all his flaws, this is the first pope we have that seems to have advanced beyond the fifteenth century. Bravo.

fuckers

Batey's attorney said he was "very inebriated" that night and that he "had a blackout,"

I love my Klean Kanteen. Stainless steel with a leak-proof sport nozzle. Takes a beating and easy to clean, and the benefits of stainless over plastic are numerous.

There's a number of factors, but sadly being "rejected" seems to be the biggest reason from what I've noticed. And by "rejected" I mean a woman utilizing her personal agency to not date/kiss/sleep with men who she doesn't want, and men such as this asshole creep refusing to think that there's a problem in their…

Serious question: how is this even legal? How is it legal to threaten people on line? I know that there isn't a specific person being threatened, but there need to be some laws against this kind of disgusting behavior.

This is like someone breaking into an art gallery and then, when ordinary people can't go to the gallery for 2 months because it's being repaired, claiming they just did it "to show that the owners should invest in some better security".

Expectations set to 'low'. I'm entirely on board!

I feel like Russell needs to sit down and have a long conversation with someone about white privilege. And I mean he needs to listen. He insists that his own privilege shouldn't be part of dialogue about his push for change. He needs to realize that is absolutely is and should be. And that's OK, you know? It's OK to…

Russell Brand's heart is in the right place, but every time he speaks, he reminds me off that one, ultra-left Facebook friend who's not nearly as smart or privilege-conscious as he thinks he is, frequently posting Snopes-debunked articles, and demanding that we "wake up, sheeple!"

I've had many of these conversations over the past several months. And I've been trying to sharpen my perspective on this problem, the problem of the "how do I help," question. I offer these comments with compassion and great respect for your commitment to children and families:

Just help. Just do what your…

Did the woman provide written consent for the man to ejaculate in the first place?

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. I work with kids in the family court system, either through abuse/neglect or juvenile delinquency/incorrigability. I want to fight for these kids, the majority of whom are POC. How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?…

That is a good start but what I would love is for her to shadow me when I'm answering hospital calls for people who are suspected to have been sexually assaulted. Listen as I discuss with them their options. Should they do a kit? Should they report the kit anonymously? What about preventative meds? Plan B? Sit with me…

Wow. Someone needs to go on the view and specifically go over Whoopi's rape apology list and take her to task on each one.

Lenny Kravitz is a sexy, sexy man, and this has only made him sexier in my eyes.
