Another way: a panel advocating censorship and protesting censorship was cancelled due to censorship

How do the organizers not see this?

A panel about dealing with online harassment was shut down due to online harassment?

Is Gamergate still a thing? Can’t we just ignore it more til it goes away?

I mean, you can raise your child to know that women are people but in today’s society every other person outside of your home will remind him that in fact we are not. With their actions, with their laws, with their assumptions, with their words.

I’ve been eventually dumped or rejected or made to feel like shit in some capacity by almost every dude I’ve ever fucked or wanted to fuck and yet somehow I’ve managed to never mass murder

It’s a logic sort of on par with “Because in certain situations Banks will let you have money, robbing a bank is essentially just disagreeing on the repayment terms of a loan”.

Unfortunately, the way this case is being handled makes it look like sex trafficking is a workers are legitimate business human beings.

“I’m not one of those women who believe rape victims are at fault because they dressed too provocatively or misled some randy guy into thinking it was his lucky night.

There is nothing wrong , of course, with being fully informed about side effects. However, there is very limited ability to know those side effects you will personally experience ,“a priori”before you even try those pills . Besides, most of the side effects are treatable. Has anyone told you that giving birth is one…

Being pregnant is a lot more destructive to your body than missing some periods.

Choosing to not have your period doesn’t mean you body isn’t capable of getting pregnant, having babies, and breastfeeding. You can forego the period and still do all of those things. Whether a woman’s period is a 7 day blood bath or a 3 day drip, choosing to avoid it is perfectly fine and healthy. One need not think…

I don’t understand— are you saying birth control in general is bad for you, or just using it to skip your “period” (obviously you’re not having a true period when you’re on the pill, because, ideally, you aren’t ovulating)? As this article and the ones it links to state, using the pill continuously is not any less…

I dislike how “convenience” is being redefined to mean “other people’s problems that I don’t give a shit about.” Want pain meds for your injured back so you can make it through a day at your desk? You don’t need narcotics just for convenience - take some Advil and suck it up. But then, people never say that about back…

As someone w/endometriosis since I was 8, do you want to get ice cream and go make voodoo dolls of our reproductive organs?

Lol, “a cup and a pamprin”! Periods do not work that way for everyone. You know what I had to take? A prescription-only pain pill, 2-8 of them a day, for one and a half weeks, if I was lucky that “month.” Sometimes, my period would last two weeks, and I’m not just talking staining—I’m talking full-out, multiple…

I have been at war with my period since high school (regularly bled through a super tampon, backup maxi pad, my jeans, and the flannel shirt I had tied around my waist, thank you early 90’s, between first period and lunch), and cannot freaking wait until surgery or menopause makes it a thing of the past forever.

I have…

There is nothing “natural” about having a period every month. In pre-industrial societies, women were either pregnant or breastfeeding, which usually prevents menstruation for a number of months, for the majority of the time. I have gone years without periods through three pregnancies, 3 breastfeeding kids, and 3…
