The show is not about who is doinking who. The show is about: what would the world be like if we could truly experience unconditional love, radical acceptance and connection with even a small group of disparate people scattered across the planet? What qualities do I have that would be a strength for others, and what

Read people’s comments before replying. I clearly referred to “her own computer” twice. And, no, reading your partner’s emails is not, outside of a pattern of violent or threatening behaviour, “abuse.” It’s certainly not abuse when it’s a reaction to being choked. Again, abuse is not a catch-all term for all poor

Which, if you think about it, is kind of the point of the article. Interesting proof of concept, really.

Last week a bunch of pro forced birth dipshits showed up in a residential neighborhood I go through on the way to work to picket the house of the PP president. But she had moved and the dummies protesting just ended up frightening the young family who had bought the house. Dude tried to hand me some flier through the

The picture accompanying this article is of a center in the Bronx that is literally right across the street from the Planned Parenthood where I work. We don’t have a sign, and they intentionally use this signage to trick patients trying to get to PP, especially patients who may not be fluent in English.

Arlen Specter was our senator at the time, and I remember my parents angrily declaring that they were never voting for him again because of how he treated Anita Hill.

She was a picture-perfect witness at that panel. I mean perfect, like out of a damn movie. She did an incredible job and they shat all over her. It was shameful and demoralizing and I was just watching it at the time. I was furious. I will never, ever forgive those men.

This! So often liberals are accused of eating our own, but actually we just demand a certain level of accountability - which includes having people we admire admit when they stuff up, especially when they do it very, very badly, and explain what steps they’re taking so it never happens again.

The whole “I feel really badly that she didn’t feel like the process worked” non-apology is not enough in this day and age. Has he thoroughly examined his part in the hearing that led to the process not working for her, not just what she felt? I expect better from him.

You know, this is a whole ‘nother category of man I didn’t pay much attention to until lately. The dude who thinks he’s progressive and just really doesn’t fucking get it. Hey Joe? It didn’t work for Anita back then according to anyone, and you were part of why it didn’t.

Between this and saying HRC should have smiled more, I’m pretty over Biden.

Yeah, if he wasn’t all touchy feely around women. It’s like he never really understood what it was about.

HRC had an 88% approval rating, which was just unheard of.

Joe Biden has done a lot of good, but he’s also a white man in his seventies who has wielded a great deal of power and privilege his whole life.

.... And then they saw Clarence get away with it, Anita tossed into obscurity, and returned to routine levels of harassment and discrimination. How far have we come exactly in terms if closing the wage gap, number of fortune 500 female CEOs, etc etc. In these last 25 or 26 years..?

Or even more deliciously: while he’s still alive. Let him have to see his own history be overwritten by someone smarter and more progressive.

If Democrats are in power when Clarence Thomas dies or retires, they should ask her if she wants his Supreme Court seat. Her writings have been very pro-women as a law professor.

I know this shouldn’t matter because a victim should be believed regardless of his or her career or education level. But in reality people do care about those things. And she was a fucking law school professor by the time of these hearings! She got her JD from Yale. Not only would any man with that background be

I love Joe Biden as much as the next person, but I will always hold the Anita Hill proceedings against him. He wasn’t the only person involved in the process, but as the person in charge he gets the most of the blame for what happened because it was in his power to fix it.

Atonement doesn’t look like waiting almost 30 years for someone else to bring it up to address it, Joe.
