Being an ND requires medschool and is a very rigerous licensing proceedure. I know a lot of people who have had thier health turned around by naturopaths because they tend to focus on diet and lifstyle changes—so I think that this type of condescension is dangerous. Sure some naturopaths suck but some conventional…

Now just imagine the shit they’ve been getting away with all these years, especially in areas with a lot of minorities. Can you imagine what it was like for a black person in dealing with a cop in the South in the 1950’s if this is what it’s like now?

I don’t care if this girl had been smoking a joint and spit in the cops eye, there is absolutely no excuse for the physical and emotional abuse she was put through. We should all be ashamed. I know I am.

Near kids? This guy shouldn’t even be working, period. Unless it’s cleaning toilets inside a prison, because he’s on work duty. As a prisoner. This is the most vile thing I’ve seen in a while.

Holy shit, has this motherf*cker even been arrested yet? WHAT. THE. FUCK. I feel like I’m watching a documentary about a totalitarian state that existed 75 years ago. What the hell is going on?!!!!!

I get a good vibe from this guy. I picked Clinton in 1991 and Obama in 2004, and I accurately predicted exactly to what degree each would please and disappointment in turn. I think he’ll have the instincts to move to the left, but I think he’ll make some mistakes along the way, but none being disastrous.

I got dumped pretty spectacularly, once. My ex-boyfriend’s birthday was four days later. I agonized very briefly over whether I should call him, or send a card, or something, to wish him a happy birthday, but ultimately decided not to.

I’ve certainly fucked Chrises and Michaels but now I’m thinking I need to add a Kevin.

I understand the huge role the media plays in this, or if the parents themselves don’t believe in equality that is obviously going to affect their children, but “one or two parents” with “limited time” is a bullshit excuse. If that was the case, no kids would be raised with any sense of morals or what’s right in wrong…

Yeah, but the problem is biological: as teenagers, boys are horny as hell, teenagers are emotionally instable because of changes, kids are mean to each other and rejection is often badly handled on both sides (more on receiving end of course).

I think part of the problem is that we don’t to enough teaching kids that ‘No means no’ and then respecting them when they say ‘No’ to us (within reason of course.)

There was an article on Cracked that argued that society basically teaches guys this.

It’s like you have to look at the parents of the kids your own kids will hang out with. It’s messed up because I don’t want my kids living in an echo chamber, but when there are some really fucked up people outside it...

One or two parents, perhaps with limited time, perhaps not raised to believe in equality themselves, against a mass media culture, with huge money and refined over decades to establish particular images of what men and women need to be (and more importantly need to buy) to be included, valued, loved, and happy.

Yes. I have two sons. I have been preaching feminism to them for fifteen years. Presumably, the vast majority of misogynist men who feel entitled (to the point of violence) to female attention have a mother, grandmother, or other female presence in their lives. If there exists ANY mother who actively teaches her sons…

Yup. He regrets it because it negatively impacted him, not because he feels any actual remorse or realization.

Oh wow, another misogynist woman-hating teenager who wants to murder women en masse because he was rejected by a female. This shit is getting real old. People - stop raising your boys to think that they are *owed* a woman. We are people, we have agency, we are NOT prizes that one can “win” by being nice or because you…

I could not love the Satanic Temple more. The Satanists and the ACLU are the best patriots we have. (in that they uphold our freedoms like no one else)

I love that the satanists have been able to carry out such an epic level troll on the fundie right like this. I’m not religious at all but it gives me a certain level of joy.

“was required to sign a contract transferring the property of their souls to Satan. This, we felt, would filter out the extreme superstitious radicals, and it worked.”
