So the guy perpetrates the violence and then blames the woman for not preventing it? (Checks all of human history.) YUP! CHECKS OUT!

Bad grade in Developmental Psych?

The very first thing I said while playing Skyrim for the first time was ‘Oh my god! General Tulius is a CYLON!!!’.

If you’re about to be executed, stall for as long as humanly possible, because you never know when a dragon is going to show up.

The Prestige TV Show Hot Take Economy is extremely bad and dumb, but so is arguing that the way that we talk about and depict our world in fiction is irrelevant and not worth talking about in general. Granted that many people do it in a way that is stupid and wearying - that doesn’t invalidate the broader principle…

There are generally three routes that people take when you answer a question like that. Fortunately, he did not take the third route: naked aggression. He did take the other two: desperate negotiation and arguing that her preferences showed that there was something wrong with her.

This story kicked me in the gut. My mother was an alcoholic, and I struggled with opiate addiction for years. Addiction isn’t a lifestyle you choose. Sobriety isn’t easy, nor is it a wagon to which you strap yourself. Functional addicts are the most at risk because, until they crash and burn, no one has any idea of…

i choose to believe it’s actually the “triple lindy WEST”, where you get to stare at our lady of perpetual babeness three times:

There sure is. And you can bet he won’t be paying for her tuition anymore.

It has a couple meanings. It can mean, “I’m a Coug!” as in, I attended WSU. It’s also the name of a campus bar, “the coug” so that’s what I was meaning in my comment. It’s also a euphamism for fucking up; as in , “yup, they Coug’d it.”

Well, that was certainly incoherent.

What you meant is that this particular woman choosing to have this particular abortion is not worthy of judgment, and that you reserve the right to judge other women for having other abortions, so I think “fuck off you fucking fuck” might have been more appropriate.

You are basically asking her to title this “I was legitmately raped.” You want the headline to assure the reader that this was an acceptable abortion, not one of those bad abortions by bad people. Your judgement is one of the problems we are having around abortion.

What exactly do you think the headline should be changed to? “Woman who recently had an abortion at 32 weeks is not a slutty slut so it’s ok”?

She understood exactly what you meant. This woman you’re not judging, but other women who get late term abortions are. But this is a typical late term abortion.

the VAST majority of late-term abortions are for exactly these reasons. you were horrified by your own ignorant assumptions, and that’s on you.

Yeesh. That’s a completely factual headline that you’ve chosen to see as loaded and misleading.

This feeds the incredibly damaging narrative of “Good abortions vs. Bad abortions.” The whole point is that women should be allowed to access health care without having to prove they deserve it. The headlines isn’t click bait but it raises an interesting question : who are you to decide her decision oy to remain…
