It’s domestic housework so I’d say....

Even if we did, it’d still be a reasonable assessment of power.  If you can only get 47% of the vote on a given issue, you essentially have no power.  But if you can take 47% of the revenue from a business, that’s enough to shutter most places.

Turning to Yelp to act based on a business entity’s perceived politics also shows we believe we hold more power as consumers than citizens.

It might look cleaner but the crime rates are much worse in Indianapolis. And while it’s dirty people are willing to pay to live there just because there’s somewhat more interesting stuff to do on a daily basis in a large cosmopolitan city and better paying jobs. Indy has a much smaller population but tons of…

yes.

As for the shirt, I bought it for Radwood.

Yep, I definitely broke the law riding without a helmet and occasionally on the sidewalk. 99% of my time on the Bird was done in the bike lane, but as with bikes, occasionally you have to deviate from the path to survive in the city.

This pic was taken when we got to Friend #2's place, and there is a sidewalk skirting…

There’s laws against these being on the sidewalk? Scooters require helmets?

I feel the opposite and I’m probably going to have a different group of people come at me. But I’m so fucking sick of men that I’ve stopped liking drag queens because there’s an element of it that is men performing a man’s idea of what a woman is. And I’m just over men’s opinions of women.

I’m not sure they do leave their male privilege behind - at the end of the night they can take off their womanface and go home. And unless they’re naturally flamboyant or femme when they’re out of character, they can travel home a lot more safely than the women in the audience. I’ve never understood how feminist blogs…

This is a great writeup. Definitely avoids the condescension of too many American writers who pen pieces along the lines of “They’re bad. We’re good.” Pretty much nixes that altogether by explaining how the U.S. is partially responsible for the rise of this government and and continues to enable worst atrocities.

You think that’s bad? Try being the one responsible for designing exhaust ports.

Holy crap. So awesome.

I also think that fundamentally the capitalist system as practiced in America, with its hyperfocus on maximizing results at all costs, operates in concert with cultural stereotypes in a way that is detrimental to women. We teach boys to fight and women to compromise, and the capitalism we practice in this country…

Actually, we need to separate “work-life balance” from parenthood, or motherhood, so that it applies to everyone. Nobody should be working 60 hours every week, regardless of parental status. We need to make it clear that parents aren’t asking for special treatment when they want to leave the office at 5. Everyone…
