Lord. When "the straw that broke the camel's back" involves [equating sexual objectification with a clear pattern of behavior], you're dealing with one [woman who's views are valid].

Yeah, there'll always be dude-bros who learned to code because they wanted to be dude-bros forever. Like literally code, go to the gym, and hate women their entire lives. A small step above the basement-dwelling jobless dude-bro.

Fair enough. I will say that it's not like this was the first in a pattern of behavior. This seems like it was the last straw. If Horvath thought that she was being treated badly because of her gender (which from the story given, she had every right to think) then I can see how seeing a scene like this could have been…

I think that's generally a good rule. I dated someone that, while we worked in the same company, we probably saw each other twice a week? Different departments, and our jobs were such that we rarely left our desks. It worked out pretty well.

*Sigh* In the context of everything else that happened to her up to that point, I can see how seeing women treated like pieces of meat would be A BIT upsetting. But only just a little bit, because being upset to the point of crying is unprofessional.

I don't think that attire is the issue. I worked in a place where the only rule was don't come to work naked. The environment was still pretty professional. We also had ping pong tables. Not saying that attire can't contribute to a poor working environment, but the correlation isn't universal.

If that's true, then I feel sorry for those children. Adoption is amazing, being raised in a cult and forced to marry from a fixed pool of gross people is not.

I'm not taking issue with you at all. Hell, I agree with you.

I guess what I mean is that they can't marry outside of the church. If no one new (read: young and verile/fertile) joins the church, there'll be no one left to breed with. I don't have anything to back this up other than anecdotes from other blog posts, but I don't think there are too many young folk looking to join…

I hope he dies in agony and burns in hell. I hope, will his evil family is trying to mourn that someone pickets his funeral, disrespects their grieving, and turns in his funeral into a circus side show so that they have no privacy and no piece. Even if all that comes to pass, it is more than any of these soulless…

Doubtful that'll happen soon. There are a lot of them. That said, there's so few members of the church (about 40 last I read) and so many of them are related that it's gonna be hard to make new Phelps' in a few years. That is, unless they somehow justify inbreeding as their god's will. Not entirely out of the…

Yep, exactly. All a protest of this man's funeral would do is validate their stupidity. Doing it to send a message to them assumes that they'll actually receive said message. These heinous, awful, willfully ignorant boils on the collective ass of humanity wouldn't listen if god himself told them that what they are…

I'm not your boo. I don't know you, you don't know me. Don't act like you do.

Yeah, as much as I want to scream "VACCINATE YOUR FUCKING KIDS YOU EMBICILE" at every anti-vaxxer out there, there's privilege in them words. It's important to realize that these people think they are protecting the health and welfare of their kids, which is a noble thing to be sure. I think we need to be angry at…

I wanted to laugh, but you're not wrong. At all.

I'm with you. There are a few things that one does not fuck around with. Children not being vaccinated against deadly diseases because of two prominent idiots believing the work of a thoroughly discredited hack is definitely one of them.

Children can't choose their parents, but those parents should be responsible enough to understand that not endangering the health of your own child and of other children because you can't be arsed to get your kid fucking vaccinated against deadly diseases makes you fucking horrible people.

I don't think that you understand basic communication. Most people don't hear the literal meaning of a word when they say or hear someone say it. Connations are a thing, and you should learn them.

Really, PC police? REALLY?

Um. There doesn't have to be reasoning behind judging a word to be code for something else. I'm a cisgendered African American male. If someone calls me a "thug", chances are it's because that person really wants to call me the n-word. All those people calling Richard Sherman a thug? It's coded language.
