Speaking for myself - I am less interested in men’s guilt and hand-wringing over past behaviors and more interested in what actions they’re going to take to address the problem. Meaning, the best things you can do are as follows:

I don’t know how you go back to someone you may have crossed the line with ten years ago. But for sure, focus on the future. Teach your sons to be aware of these kinds of things. Men don’t often know how threatening they can come across - you could be the biggest teddy bear, but just by virtue of your being 6 inches…

Your last suggestion is a given, as is your healthy self-reflection and perhaps a willingness to “spread the word.” Our society probably needs a reckoning with regards to restorative justice and community healing, which would allow us to be accountable to one another for the harms we cause and move forward…

You heard it here first everyone, Women, they’re basically children.

Jesus fuck dude, what were the stupendously offensive similes you passed on before floating this like? Did you consider using: like a monkey playing QB? Or like an Asian that’s bad at math? What the hell is wrong with you? It’s not even the first time SHE’s asked him a question like that, let alone any other woman.

So a child asking a question about football: funny. A working professional, who happens to be a woman, asking a question: just as funny!

So you’re saying a woman talking about sports is about the same as a child talking about sports? Newsflash: a lot of women out there actually know and understand sports, especially when those women are sportswriters.

That’s not a bad take, that is the worst take.

Now can you imagine if a democrat said “As mayor, what I would like to discourage is gun ownership. Guns are confrontational, they’re chaotic, they scare people. I believe there’s a better way to express yourselves.”

“I believe there’s a better way to express yourselves.” -

“As mayor, what I would like is for PoC and transgender persons to not exist. I am white and that means something, god damn it! Thank you, Vote for Kim!”

“As mayor, what I would like to discourage is assembly,” Barnette said.

Can we remind ourselves of the fact that every single thing that the Clinton campaign, real journalists, honest pundits, and everyday people warned that would happen with trump as president has in fact happened and continues to happen.

Obama had only 3 years or so of experience as a Senator when he won the Presidency and he didn’t have any experience as an Attorney General for a state. Why is it that when a woman runs for office, she has to have X many more years experience than any man who ran for that office?

Of course, that’s also what they said about Obama, that it was too soon. Harris is a terrific public speaker and a progressive, and she’s fierce and formidable. I think if she embraced an economic populist message along with the rest of her arsenal of progressive and fierce stances, with a long history of principled…

Lots of comments lately implying that “Trump’s going to get off, nothing’s happening, no one’s doing anything…”

It’s astounding! The moment where he asked Senator Harris to slow down.....

“I—why don’t you tell me? There are none Senator Wyden, there are none!” Sessions said, suddenly yelling. “I can tell you that for absolute certainty. This is a secret innuendo being leaked out there about me, and I don’t appreciate it, and I’ve tried to give my best and truthful answers to any committee I’ve appeared…

Well, maybe. Ireland’s fairly small so the travel costs are less, and popping over to the UK (where most go for abortions) may be comparable in cost and difficulty to crossing state lines for some states.
