While its absolutely true that systemic racism, homophobia and sexism create different standards of justice; the Toronto Police have been fucking up all sorts of cases lately regardless of privilege. The murder of Barry & Honey Sherman, one of the richest couples in Canada, was initially blown off as a suicide until…

Ehhhh, the signs were there, just like Louis CK. I watched Master of None and enjoyed it, but I found the stories of his interactions with women creepy. There was this sense of entitlement to these beautiful women, especially the one who is not even available. His relationship to women seemed aspirational rather than…

Did you have to wait til 2nd trimester?

Yeah! Why are all these trolls visible and we’re in the greys?

can you get the flu shot when you’re pregnant?

omg, i forgot about this song! thanks for the reminder :-)

He sounds like a narcissist.

Odd that it seems like she is treating this as one flaw of his personality and if this was fixed it would just work - but the way you describe it, this is the very core of his being. He sounds awful and will always be awful. Best to cut ties and move on (as you did).

That sounds like thyroid and/or iron deficiency and possibly B vitamin deficiencies. Are you a vegetarian?

I hate to break it to you, but more women will be in positions of power in the future, and will hire more women.

I’m trying to recall some dates I had 20 years ago when I went through a phase of drinking too much and I hardly remember anything. As another person commented - if the person is unconscious its definitely assault. However, some people black out when they drink without passing out - they still function but they don’t…

What interview?

There’s a really excellent podcast about child abuse and murder that really opened my eyes to how much crime could’ve been prevented if the police had taken children and women seriously. https://www.apmreports.org/in-the-dark

We seem democratic, but now you know its really a totalitarian state.

Oh I totally believe that happens in situations where women believe the stereotypes that men always want to have sex and just assume that a guy wants it. Especially if they’ve had relations before, or if alcohol is involved. The main difference is that women usually aren’t physically as big and strong, there’s less…

I’m looking back to my twenties, and if an attractive man ended up in my bed I would’ve assumed they wanted something, not just a place to sleep. But I don’t think I would’ve molested anyone while they were asleep.

Canada is great - Toronto & Montreal are especially tolerant and diverse. Montreal is more affordable, but Toronto has better economic opportunities. Pros: less gun violence due to stricter gun laws; strong social services; good schools; affordable universities; and free health care. However, Canada has the same…

I’ve heard bits and pieces over the years, but now after this I’m wondering if there are any fashion photographers who aren’t rapists. Are they like catholic priests; they get in for the special access to the vulnerable.

thank you thank you thank you. that’s what i’ve been saying for days - the rumour mill doesn’t protect you if you’re not in with the cool kids, and it didn’t protect the women who get assaulted. I’ve seen it in action too - and its not just concerned warning, its people snickering at these stories where the women is…

True about the pets. Pet charities make me so deeply angry. There’s so many better causes - actual people, even actual animals.
