If Republicans actually opposed child abuse, they'd be going after institutions like churches and the boy scouts. Their stance on organizations that actually abuse children shows you how they really feel about it.

“I don’t think it should be a struggle not to drink. We should help the victims of drunk drivers instead.”

Isn’t helping potential abusers before they start to abuse helping victims?

It seems to me that if one truly wished to end sexual abuse of minors then one would welcome Walker’s work. Pushing people with a destructive compulsion into the shadows and asking them to suppress it through sheer force of will, totally alone and without any support, seems so obviously doomed to failure. Perhaps if…

We already have incredibly harsh sentencing for stuff like child pornography, but guess what, people still do it. It’s pretty clear that treatment for this condition before a person acts on it is a net good for society. 

Transkids will finally be able to breathe a sigh of relief as the moral outrage maching moves onto its next target for panics.

Pacifiers were because of rave culture and drug related lockjaw. Hissing and scratching...don't know lol

I kind of think a lot of the reaction to the early-aughts fashion resurgence has less to do with the actual trends themselves and more to do with bad memories of the absolutely horrific body standards of the time. Like, I remember seeing an article about how to dress for your body type in a teen magazine, and it being…

He is the perfect argument that the notion that rapists are boogeymen waiting in alleys or bushes is so far from the truth. If you read that bullshit profile it screams of affluent white male privilege. He left Gettysburg College in the year after he raped her, apparently without graduating. Wonder how that came…

Exactly. They pick and choose all the time in the most hypocritical of ways. This is why I am not Catholic anymore and my kids go to public school. 

According to the Guttmacher Institute, 99% of Catholic women have been on some form of hormonal birth control at one point in their childbearing years.

Yeah I’m miffed there, the first trailer made it seem like she’d actually be with us for the adventure and this one starts off like “lol nope you really thought”

This is exciting. However, I hope the series brings back two elements:

Yeah, I was bummed about that. I was hoping they’d turn the tables and she would have to save link or at least giving the option to switch to her or something. It’s disappointing that they chose to go the safer (and more boring) route of just going with Link again.

Said it elsewhere, but will say it here:

Agree on the repair ... until I got the master sword all I used were bombs and garbage weapons while I hoard all the good stuff in my inventory/home.

Hopefully the weapons in BOTW2 are more durable. Or at least give the option to repair them.

I saw this play and was interested as it had won the Tony over my fav Come From Away...and was underwhelmed?

WHAT THE FUCK. This makes me so mad.

It’s sad, but not at all surprising. I’m a small business owner, and many of my suppliers are men. About a year ago I created the alias ‘Dick Berns’ to use in purchasing. Since then I’ve found that on average my orders ship 2 days faster and cost 6% less when the person on the other end of the transaction thinks that…
