Honestly, as a transwoman, I’m okay with this. While yeah, we could totally take some pressure off for girls to be one way, boys to be another, etc, assigning gender at birth is overwhelmingly accurate. 997/1000 AMABs turn out to be boys. 997/1000 AFABs turn out to be girls.
I care more about we focus on the idea that…

As someone who works in the criminal justice/court SPECIFICALLY with sex offenders, this is not out of the normal or nothing to be disgusted/horrified by.

There is no point other than “Find any excuse to shit on the guy”.

The GOP role model, everyone:

phone cases?

It’s awesome that she’s doing this, but it’s not a cell phone case (?)

Different ladder. The first one was a stepladder but the one Charles pinwheels into is a 60-foot extension ladder.

I mean, Catholic lady up there spent her morning at Mass praying and look where it got her.

When you woke up this morning, did you think of yourself as someone who would call the teenaged survivor of a mass shooting a liar on the internet, or are you surprised to learn that about yourself?

This story is as baffling as it is horrifying. This woman, by her own admission, chose to cruelly kill her pet. But she claims someone else suggested that she do it, and she feels really bad about it, so she’s certain she’s the real victim here.

As an older Final Fantasy player with two children and a job that has me working from 9 until whenever in the evening, with other games to play for work outside of work, 30-40 hours is a big ask.

Calm down, you’re being hysterical.

Your feelings are legitimate and appropriate reactions to something of this nature.

“I kind of want to come up with a little bit of a code of conduct...”

The rape apologists were definitely out en masse in the comment section.

This. It blows my mind. I’m a guy. I do the same thing. No one had to teach me. I don’t have to set boundaries on my dates. I’ve never had to ask a girl on a date if I can kiss her. If we’re not flirting, I’m not even going to try. If we are and I feel like I want to make a move, I try and kiss her. Clearly, if she…

However, if at any time my actions create a scenario a woman might find threatening: just tell me. I’m not bright nor do I have any common sense. I can’t pick up cues, whether it is someone showing even the slightest iota of interest or full-blown disgust at me.

The conversation might need to less about labeling him a predator or a sexual harasser, and more about how we, as women, need to stop trying to be so concerned with people’s feelings and just leave a situation that makes us uncomfortable.

Do you know who does stuff like this? Who ignores communication from their partner, going ahead with whatever they want to do sexually, while always making sure to stay on the legal side of things? PREDATORS. It is not the men who care deeply about making sure their partners want to be there and are comfortable but…

“to suggest that sticking your fingers down a woman’s throat on the first hookup is unexpected - please get out more.”
