Calling an unconscious woman “an opportunity” is one of the most dehumanizing things I’ve ever read. 

Also is a pretty clear indicator that he shouldn’t become a doctor. 

Quotes from the defense attorney like the ones pulled above are the reason why I could never be a judge. My facial expressions when someone tried to pull that on me would give away my complete and total lack of impartiality.

argued that his client fell victim to temptation

Sometimes also the control. This is still an inherently sexist country - and law is a tool; it can be an instrument of justice or of oppression — and look how many lives they got to ruin.

This is some pathetic victim blaming.

I feel like the underrepresentation of women in sexual abuse statistics is, itself, a manifestation of sexism. Women can’t be perceived as sexual abusers in a patriarchal system because sex with them is seen as a commodity to be obtained—if you’re male and you don’t want sex with a woman, that’s seen as a defect to be…

So - here’s a quick story (my own): I was raped 29 years ago. I was 24, living on my own for the first time (I’d just broken up with an emotionally abusive b/f) and this guy shoved his way into my home and raped me. For many reasons (I was young, I was traumatized, I moved and didn’t go anywhere near that city for…

well, that and money laundering/fraud - there’s a reason the same division of Deutsche Bank that kept throwing hundreds of millions in loans at default king Trump also had significant business w/ Epstein.  Of course, DB corrected this and closed all of their Epstein accounts all the way back in *checks notes* May 2019.

Those balloon tanks were part of the “deception unit” - successfully designed to mislead the Nazis. The plan was devised and shepherded through the pentagon to approval and implementation by none other than Douglas Fairbanks Jr! Brains, charm and looks. Hero in Hollywood, hero for real...

The fuck is happening here?

Yes, I always said Ariel is an anthropologist! She has always wanted to go study the land and the human stuff, Eric is just a catalyst. She finally sees some humans up close, they’re having a fun looking party and don’t seem to be monsters at all, then she actually gets to rescue a pretty one, so being a teen she…

Perhaps you meant to say “I am sure the officer has gotten many alarms he presumed were false in his career...”

Except that women who don’t report their abusers to the police are then subsequently punished if they try to get a protection order or custody of their kids. Because they are clearly lying since they never called the police.

A cop not taking domestic violence seriously? I'm stunned. Next thing you'll tell me is that male cops commit acts of DV at a significantly higher rate than the population as a whole.

“Similarly, Faustin says her training sessions can sometimes turn into therapy sessions”

I can one up you- my dad passed away last month only days after being diagnosed with brain cancer. We had had our issues over the years but we had been talking a lot, and my husband and I dropped everything in order to be with him the last couple of weeks of his life. Last week, I received a copy of his will and he…

They are F-ing everywhere. The Mods on my archeology group have to do daily reminders of the guidelines. You know what I got instead of Birthday wishes from my Mom today? A pro-trump chain email. Jesus wept. 

If you’d listened to oral arguments this wasn’t a surprising outcome.  Kav was furious and Alito was clearly exasperated.
