I’m embarrassed to admit that, in the moment, Trump’s comment really hurt. Hurt in that “brain shut off/dignity shut off” kind of pain. It’s the kind of comment that can suck the self esteem out of you if you aren’t expecting it.

Oh I feel for yr baby, learning so fast out of fight or flight situations.

Yeah and I love that word “choice” because breastfeeding doesn’t work well if:

“Allowing” yourself to be sexually assaulted by not bitching out the guy who could get you fired from your job AFTER HE ALREADY DID IT is not a defense. Not legally, not morally, not nothingly.

THE FACT THAT EVERYONE DOES IT IS THE SECOND MOST DISGUSTING PART OF THIS SCENARIO, NOT THE LEAST.

allusive to what?

Tell your friend that it is only a problem if he is interested in roofing work or the farming industry. Illegal Central American immigrants are not taking highly skilled or tech jobs, they are doing the jobs people here don’t want since we all don’t want to pay more for our produce.

Typically the people that go…

You’re applying a double standard to beating someone up. Both rape and beating someone up leave evidence. The difference is, when someone is beat up, everyone’s assumption is that they didn’t want to be beat up, and that they’re telling the truth.

maybe? You may know better than I do, but it my understanding that it isn’t wrongful termination for you (Royal you obviously) to be fired based on a reasonable amount of evidence that you committed a crime. Wrongful termination is pretty narrow to things like fired based on discrimination, whistle blowing, doing…

I believe private businesses - including universities - should have the right to exclude customers and fire employees who they feel are a danger to other customers and employees, even if a person has not legally been found guilty of a crime. If some creep was exposing himself to people in a coffee-shop bathroom, I’d…

Luckily for rape victims, you are wrong that at a university, they have to report to the police or just shut up about it.

I will never understand why every time this topic comes up, people act like victims can either report their rape to the cops or to their university, but not both. It is fine to suggest that victims should go to the cops, but the “and also they shouldn’t tell anyone on campus about the rapist in their midst and the…

“If your accused rapist isn’t immediately arrested on the basis of your accusation then it’s certainly possible he could be out in the world for you to run into while the case is being investigated.”

OK, so let’s say we do. Do you know how long it takes for a rape case to go to trial? Do you know how many actually even make it to a courtroom rather than getting dismissed for lack of evidence/police douche-baggery? Do you know what the conviction rates are?

I’m voting for her because despite disagreeing with a lot of what our country engages in, I do happen to love my country, and I think she would do a damn good job as president. I’m voting for her because she won’t single out people like my cousins, who have brown skin and are often confused for “Arabs” because their…

Are they saying that implicit bias doesn’t exist? Like, that’s a fact. There have been many studies? I have found this whole election to be confusing. I don’t understand the appeal of Trump. I genuinely don’t. Like, when he speaks all I can think is “what an asshole.” He reminds me of every insecure, arrogant bully…

I didn’t realize that there was a package of white privilege that Asians and white women should also be entitled to that includes shooting black people without consequence. This sacrifice language is problematic.

She shot him because she wasn’t “having cooperation” from him.

If a good cop is protecting a bad cop they are not a good cop. I hate this argument “they aren’t all bad” If you shelter someone you know is a racist killer, YOU ARE A BAD GUY, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT YOURSELF A RACIST KILLER. The thin blue line is a rope strangling this whole damn country.

...but they won’t because every time people get close to doing precisely that, they complain about how their fee fees are hurt, and aren’t going to protect us anymore. Since we can’t hold two thoughts in our head, we back off and let them kill again.
