Actually if I left it alone, outside of my uterus, it actually won't turn into much of anything now will it?

“If an embryo is “not a person, what is it? Because if you left it alone, that’s the only thing it can become,” he said. “It can’t develop into a pony!”

she has a hemsworth brother right in front of her face and she settles for fucking coldplay.

Neither, apparently.

Yeah, this doesn’t seem like the reaction of even a person who is trying to win their children’s favor, let alone an honest-to-god actually good person. “Won’t see me? Maybe an indefinite incarceration will make you remember how good I was to you!” Nnnnnot likely, no.

But don’t you know? Children (like women!) exist as rewards for adult men who have “earned” their time and affection, and not as beings unto themselves with needs and desires and agency!

saying the father had “jumped through hoops” to have a relationship with his children.

The GOP narrative:

Hard to imagine a family comparable to the Bushes in terms of working so little and profiting so handsomely from those meager efforts.

Classic leech behavior! Mooching off their employers for “wages” so they can support their lifestyles. They become totally dependent on their paychecks. Makes ‘em lazy. If you ask me, entitlement is out of control in this country—people expecting compensation for their work instead of just appreciating the opportunity…

I don’t see a problem with this. I’m glad there are dads who want to be proactive and learn not only how to braid, but to do it well.

I’ll do a side-by-side comparison of work schedules with Jeb any day. We can put it all in an Excel spreadsheet with a column for hours involved, related commute, ability to work on said commute, and financial pay-off. I’ll even let him adjust it to allow for .77 on every dollar he makes.

I can already guarantee I work…

Being born into wealth never stopped him from claiming he worked hard for what he has.

I can french braid my hair without a mirror, inside out and outside in, up, down, around the crown.

Any religion that is solely run by men is rife with problems. They are pretty much interchangeable in their control of women, regardless of what god they believe in.

Seriously, this ‘modesty’ nonsense needs to stay in the 1800s where it belongs. Don’t like short skirts? Don’t fucking wear one. There! I just solved a major life problem for you!

Really? You like the visual you get when you say “snorrslida”?

And if I have to read ONE MORE article about how everyone suddenly hates vocal fry, I’ma get myself a machine gun. Everybody just fucking stop. There is nothing wrong with the way women talk and write. Gaaaaaahd.

She’s not wrong, but she’s putting all the burden on the speaker, who, at the moment of speech, is also burdened with the nervousness of being on the spot, or the duty to interrupt a conversation etc etc. How about asking the listeners to adjust their filters a little bit to be less triggered by these filler words?…

Hey, here’s a crazy idea: how about we stop fucking policing women’s language? Where are all the articles about all the words men use more than women (ETA: not directed at Tracy!)? Oh, there aren’t any because anything the majority of men say is automatically accepted as the standard.
