which holds women responsible for men’s behavior

Protestants.

Anyone even slightly familiar with France could have told you this, but it’s nice for science to be there.

If you want to be responsible for the fate of the country, you should probably try to be responsible for the actions of your direct employees on the job.

The only possible excuse I can think of is that Protestant clergy are weirdly touchy and most of the guy’s shit was being weirdly touchy, but you’d still need to be giving this guy cultish credence to take that excuse.

The Kennedy’s had a throwback idea of politics as a public service, so they make a good contrast to many contemporary politicians.

The extension is less than a month, meaning that there’ll be an immediate opportunity to retaliate if he reneges.

It should probably be noted that the deal also secured long-term funding for SCHIP, meaning that anyone who criticizes this deal officially wants sick children to die.

At least for Boston, it looks like the bid was more self-aggrandizement than incentives, insisting that the taxes are worth it because of how much better the city is than everywhere else. As far as I can tell, the biggest giveaways would be displaying a welcome message on the Prudential centre and hiring on more staff…

Eh, at least with Indians, the medical immigration was due to a particular economic situation that I believe has ended. Not that the detail is all that important in the discussion. I’m just given to tangents.

This is an even stronger trend in Eastern Europe, where Africans are stereotyped similarly to Asians in the US (particularly strongly-accented twenty-something Asians in college towns). This is because the Soviet Union marketed its medical schools aggressively to Africa (I think subsidizing the cost even more than for…

NPR did a story about the rape kits a few years back. Apparently, the police have the kits but decide they don’t need them because they already know who they’re going to arrest (cases where the issue is consent rather than who did it). They started changing their tune when a department tried an all-cases policy and…

I think she might be saying that people shouldn’t force women into the victim role in a rush to destroy some guy or organization, as you see the “shut up you’re a victim” thing every so often.

I want to say that was the Romanian childcare budget being overwhelmed by all the new orphans, although the Soviets were crazy enough that I can’t say they didn’t run that test somewhere.

That was official Societ policy for a while, as they had ideas on how to remake society and eliminate the family unit and a fuckton of war orphans to test them on. I wonder if anyone’s ever gone back to review all the findings.

One issue is that orphanages often serve as community child cares, and the administrators will often not quibble with the adopting couple’s selection to get their money. This is exacerbated by the real orphans often obviously being the most challenging children because malnutrition can cause developmental disorders.

What about Neo Yokio?

Eh, Nazi-themed porn was huge in Israel, especially for the generation directly following the shoah. Psychologists have build tenures around trying to unravel that particular trend.

For example, Israelis, particularly in the 1950's.

I saw furries and otherkin used as punching bagslines long before the idea of trans entering mainstream conversation (not including crossdressing, which is obviously its own thing), for what it’s worth. I’d be somewhat interested to see a somewhat formal study of the chronology.
