Careful, now. The last time there was an article about how women, and by extension girls, do more work around the house there was a cavalcade of men insisting, Well, ACTUALLY! men, and by extension boys, are contributing in the same way and equal amounts at home.

A firefighters’ union here in Florida has gotten the county to back down from firing them. There are still consequences for them not getting vaccinated which they’re whining about.

What you have to remember is AOC was never supposed to be a conventional politican. That wasn’t her brand. So some decisions that might seem unusual or ill-advised for an ordinary politician are actually perfectly appropriate for AOC.

Could I compromise my values in pursuit of fame and fortune? Probably.

Is it girl power to make other women’s lives worse?

Sorry user ginnyweasley, you’re trapped in the greys because Kinja and Jezebel have given up. I still wanted to respond to the part of your comment I could read. If you reply to the article, I can see your comment and I’ll ungrey you.

“I never thought she was perfect but rather almost as good as you could expect progressive politicians to be in a flawed system”

X-mas Isn’t Cancelled, Just You is a certifiable bop that could have year round utility. Is it cribbing from All I Want For Christmas? A bit, but that’s the point. Single people need more Christmas anthems and this gives it to them.

You can take the example of Savita Halappanavar in Ireland as to how this could go (read at your own risk).*

That’s at least what I’m saying: the police footage isn’t the primary driver of the interest on this case since it only came out a few days into the investigation because the interest was already there.

I agree that a primary driver of a lot of news is things that trend or go viral. I don’t know what the scope of that chatter was online before it hit national news but I’m under the impression that the couple had a relatively small following so I’m not under the impression that it was group of followers yelling about…

I respectfully disagree that the body-cam video drove interest.

Rightfully, criticism has been aimed at the fact that the media wouldn’t be covering this to such an extent if Gabby wasn’t a pretty white girl.

So I’m not trying to argue cause of death but if I were his defense (assuming that he’s found and charged with her murder and there’s a trial) I’d be thinking about explaining his actions.

It’s his affluenza-white-male-privilege at work.

The US system is cruel. With my conditions, as well, I don’t know how bad it would have to be for me financially before I would consider going without my regular checkups and medicines. But that’s a choice millions of Americans have to make every day.

If you have painful periods, fight, and I mean FIGHT until you get answers.

Yeah, I see. There’s always the risk of a man of any status trying to assert his parental rights when he has been uninvolved and the courts will just let him get 50% custody.

For me, I don’t want to be a single parent by choice by adopting on my own or via anonymous donation but I would make that choice if I had to (having a crappy husband).

And my sympathies to you regarding your bad upbringing. As a lot of people have discussed here, we bring with us a lot of bad habits and emotional baggage to our relationships that we need to work on.
