True, dialogue has become more course, particularly online, although most people treat each other pretty well in person in their day to day lives. However, the true danger here isn’t insults, but a guy who’s so damned thin skinned having control of nuclear weapons. Trump could be more of a threat to white Ukrainians…

Could Trump be any more insecure?

I think she’s probably a nice but strangely clueless woman who simply has this mirror image complex where she believes her daddy will treat everyone exactly the way he treated her, facts be damned.

Maternity leave is just fine, but it ignores the most important issue, which is overpopulation. Every single study and example from across the planet shows unequivocally that when couples have 0-2 children on average, poverty rates drop dramatically, crime goes down, and the middle class of the society becomes more…

This sounds like some sort of necrophiliac vampire fantasy. Strange!

“You can’t get milk from an almond,” said Chris Galen, a spokesman for the National Milk Producers Federation. “You have to add a lot of other ingredients to make it look like milk.”

You are echoing exactly what some of my friends and I were talking about the other night. We’re in Austin- a pretty liberal town- but substantially less so than Brookline or Bethesda or Manhattan- and most of us are for Hillary. However, we do have friends or acquaintances, nice people who are voting for Trump…

Yeah, ironically, the guys who grew up in South Boston are now really, really pissed off at the Irish tech yuppies who- 15+ years ago- moved from sophisticated neighborhoods in Dublin to Southie to renovate all those beautiful brownstones along Broadway.

That’s because for the most part, cultural appropriation is acceptance. A non Jew opens a bagel joint, or a place called, “New York Deli,” in Birmingham Alabama, or Jason Biggs (Italian) or Daniel Craig play Jewish guys- nothing offensive about these things. On the contrary, it’s a sign of acceptance into the…

You sound like the rapey one.

Okay, what you’ve described is unambiguously rape. Your ex wife beater sounds insane.

You’re acting like a rape facilitator, so fuck off.

Again, you’ve put this entire issue into an intelligent, rational and understandable perspective that the masses who are opposed to affirmative consent should probably read.

At this point, who really cares. Football’s just fine and should be treated as a bunch of guys tossing around a ball and running through a goal- nothing more, nothing less. Why tie it into flags, memorials, the military, 911, or anything else having to do with the US government? Just blow the whistle and play.

She probably believes that this was drunken sex without clear boundaries. There is conflicting testimony about whether the victim was unconscious or merely really, really drunk. Even the victim herself admits that she was awake sometimes and doesn’t remember other times.

Woody Allen never went to trial or gave any sort of legal testimony. Nate Parker did. There is proof that Nate Parker raped this woman. There is simply no proof that Woody Allen raped anyone.

My name is false and I’m using a burner account on some website no one I know will ever read. I’m also 52 years old and way beyond believing that one’s worth as a human has anything to do with how many women one has banged. I’m not bragging, but simply curious about how the feminist world views the more nuanced…

Please explain!

How?

Thanks for the response. It’s the most intelligent, nuanced and understanding reply I’ve gotten. Which is strange, because I really do feel that in all this discussion of “affirmative consent” there are millions of Americans who still have questions that the more radical advocates of AC don’t seem to want to take the…
