Not fighting with you, but with all due respect, I can think in at least one scenario where that “mother” should totally have ever kept that kid: she gets the help she needs - and its an obligation of the State to provide! -, hopefuly recovers, and go on becoming a good mother. You call it “insanity”, I call it…

I sincerely hope 20-something years from now this little girl, now a full grown woman, has an eureka moment and say to this guy “You were a police officer, a figure of authority with the task of serve and protect. You had my mom right in front of you, in desperate need of help. And your answer to that human being,…

It’s the Robert Pickton case, all over again. People tried to raise the alarm and get the police to take it seriously that women were going missing from the DTES in Vancouver, but the police ignored it because sex workers are second-class citizens, to them. Also, that many of the women were indigenous and had…

Rose McGowan was on The View today and said one of the most powerful things about rape victims in the most powerful way I’ve heard it voiced “The only perfect rape victim is a dead one and that’s a fact.” One of the reasons no one believed me or gave a shit because I wasn’t “acting” like a rape victim “should” act.…

Cory was an addict, this is NO FUCKING WAY comparable to a pedophile who actively consumed loads of child porn and tried to share this shit with other adults.

yeah all the “cory and mark will be together in heaven now” bullshit makes me want to hurl. these are very different men and they are in very different places right now, if the afterlife is real.

Good riddance. I don’t care if he didn’t actively molest or abuse a child, he’s still complicit in the production of child pornography and the abuse that entails.

That’s a false dichotomy. There’s more than two options, because the responsibility here is not on those reporting, but the civic authority. Having law enforcement exhort people to with a pithy slogan and the like is fucking pointless if they have no ability or intention to act responsibly, or make choices about how…

And people wonder why BLM protested police presence at the Pride parade, and why Pride Toronto banned cops from marching in uniform.

Same old. Same old. Old guy in a dress is in charge of women’s health.

I’m so fucking angry. Look how hard women have to fight just to survive. And while they do this, men will stand on the sidelines calling them sluts and pretending as if they are the moral ones. They really pretend they are good guys because they classify a clump of cells as more deserving of life than a living,…

Inviting a high-profile misogynist to take the stage on campus is not an “exchange”. A lecture is the exact opposite of an exchange. It is just that - a lecture. One person talks, everyone else listens. When Milo Yannopolis was invited to speak, the students rightfully protested that he harassed and intimidated Leslie…

“if one demands an echo chamber during this phase of their life, how will they function later?”

Your statement demonstrates a clear misunderstanding of the use and construct of “safe spaces” and then goes on to give the very reason why they exist (hint: to give people space to process their experiences with trained and/or like-minded and/or like-experienced individuals who can facilitate that processing).

I don’t know who came up with it first, but you can blame Francis Schaeffer, Sr. for bringing the evangelicals on board.

I’ve never really wanted kids, but I can only imagine how painful it must be for a woman (and her partner) to discover that her much-wanted pregnancy is not going to result in a healthy baby and that the best decision for her and what she hoped would some day be her baby is to end the pregnancy. I wish all pregnancies…

He’s a famous, wealthy, cishet white man. He’s the epitome of privilege. When you’re like him, there isn’t anything in the world that you think can’t be improved by you injecting your opinion.

Because he’s an entitled asshole and doesn’t realize most people have had his number ever since his bonkers divorce from Kim Basinger and his outrageous rant at his daughter. Otherwise, he’d have the good sense to zip it.
