Friends came out when I was in high school, and I didn’t know any better. I thought Ross and Rachel were cute. I thought Chandler’s rampant anxiety was attractive. I thought Joey’s stupidity was comedy.

This is show did not age well at all. Does no one realize this?

13-15 age range, I belie’ve.

Not only that, but we have to remember that, to many conservatives, being gay is just as bad as being a child molester. Some of them are misguided enough to believe they’re basically one and the same. If they believe this is acceptable for child molesters, gay people will be next, no question about it.

Counterpoint: Irreversible

He’s doing the ol’ “no one cares about male rape so I get to not be sensitive to female rape” switcheroo, more commonly known as the “if you mention one thing in an article, you have to mention ALL things or else you don’t care about them.”

My husband still complains about that episode.  I’m like “women get raped on 80% of the shows we watch!  Deal with it!”  At least they didn’t try to make it sexy.

No. This is just a kneejerk reaction by people who don’t understand sexual abuse and sexuality. The shots will make these men impotent and maybe decrease their sex drive, but you don’t need an erection to sexually abuse someone, and not all abuse is about getting off. Some sick bastards are sadists and if their…

This. People accept the Law & Order, woman held at gunpoint in the alley type of rape. It’s the multiple other forms of rape that people don’t want to accept. 

It was less than a lifetime ago that Alan Turing was chemically castrated for being gay. The punishment was cruel and unusual then (not to mention the fact that he was being punished for something positive, rather than something bad like being a pedophile), and it’s cruel and unusual now.

Is there any scientific support for this? Does this type of castration actually reduce the urge for sex and/or rape, or is it purely punitive? I gotta say, since it’s Alabama... I feel like it’s just punitive.

I think that’s a ridiculous assumption to make. There was a huge amount of outcry over the rape and gratuitous violence in GoT. It got the nickname Rape of Thrones, which it richly deserved.

So the male rapists still get parental rights though, yes?

but think about all church abused and molested children, they are fine with this right???

Dissertation level analysis about mindless bullshit is kind of my thing.

I’m surprised anyone bats an eye at those Prop 65 warnings, considering they are on literally EVERYTHING in CA. 

The amazing part of this story is that Trump’s EPA even bothered with this. Last year, they actually stripped the prohibition on asbestos in the US for the first time in >30 years. And guess which country is the only remaining source for asbestos mining... (Russia, natch).

I think it’s probably from talc being in the makeup. Talc and asbestos form together in nature.

In no iteration of our complex multiverse do they exist as “handmaids”- they’re the Serenas of this story!

He’s literally the only celebrity who’s fashion I care about. In a sea of chiffon plainness or yet ANOTHER metallic mermaid gown, Sir Billy always serves the fashion realness.
