I find myself appreciating that they used several gender-neutral names and avoided using gendered pronouns in the outlined scenarios. It sort of steps away from the idea that "these are things that happen to women" and frames it as "this is behavior that can be performed by and happen to anyone."

You can't quite shake the privilege, but and I'm sorry if this sounds condescending it isn't meant to, you're not going to. You had an experience that most women have in their lives, but without the power or experience imbalance. And thats fine - you were absolutely right with your initial thoughts so I'm not offended…
Most things hit the internet is one fell swoop. As people discover "cool new things" they share them and they spread across the entire internet with hours or days. So when something good comes along, it hits all the major sites in the same time frame. So people submit it here, to Reddit, to Slashdot (if appropriate),…
I see what you're getting at and actually I think it's important for people to try to answer the question when it's asked because, frankly, the majority of the time, men don't ask. They don't really care why things are the way they are for women or why we tend to react to things like this, because they're not…
In 2009 in Brazil a man raped his 9 year old stepdaughter. She became pregnant with twins and needed an abortion to save her life.
Because a "count" isn't measured by the number of shots, but the instance. All ten or twelve shots, because they were all possessed at one time period of time that encompassed the same core of events, would be one count of MIP.
As a thinking person, I do hold it as my right to be able to dislike people for the choices they make.
Can we have a reasonable discussion about something Catholic-related without automatically retreating to highlighting the Church's failures in the child molestation scandal? The Church's leadership and infrastructure have major problems, yes, we know, thanks for the reminder! But there is so, so much more to this…
Yes, because organizations that move sexual predators beyond the reach of the law and grant them continued access to children should be ashamed. The people who support such organizations should be ashamed.
Dear the entire Catholic church,
Please do not ever open your fucking mouth ever fucking again on the topics of decency, dignity, or morality, until you stop sheltering child rapists and child torturers from the rule of secular law. You are a morally bankrupt institution. It doesn't matter how many hungry people you…
You revolt against these studies because we are all are inclined to think we are purely rational actors, nearing "brain in a vat"-level independence when in comes to decision-making. We weigh the evidence, make up our minds, and send signals to our body that will carry out those decisions. But this is false in a…
That's fair. It's how I feel about pretty much all particle physics. And light waves. And frankly, most things that happen in space.
No.
Not only that, if we assume parking spaces don't remain constant and if over all parking space remains constant, then the sum of the parking errors are going to disproportionately impact larger vehicles. In less convoluted language, maybe they're parked illegally because idiots who can't park correctly are taking up…
Patenting the Hitler scale would be a 1.4 on the Hitler scale.
The best suggestion I read for complaining about this, from this tumblr: send in your entry. Make it a drawing of Kate Kane and Maggie Sawyer's wedding day.
Please excuse me while I go change my sheets. Every three months sounds about right...
Uhhhhh.... Uhhhh... I can't remember the last time I washed my sheets.
I don't know, I think this is a little "chicken or egg". We assume there are no qualified women because they tell us there aren't, because they are predisposed to under-value the work of women. I think they have a responsibility to recognize that this is a problem and make a concerted effort to find women that belong…
