I’m most amazed by the shrew part. Like... Why? Why shrews? Did Shakespear know this fact when he made the title for Taming of the Shrew?

It’s gotten so bad that I almost don’t believe when someone tells me they were cheated on, because I know for a fact my cheater ex claims that he was the injured party (and also that I was crazy, natch). And that we “grew apart,” which was news to me after I found evidence of his cheating (interesting coincidence -…

I think it was on the last Pod Save America episode that they (w/ Anna Marie Cox) did a pretty deep dive into the parallels of trump’s sexual predation and his behavior and response to Comey. Fascinating and terrifying.

Not his superiors, but senior FBI leadership. He gave a perfectly good reason for why he didn’t go to Sessions, and there wasn’t a Senate confirmed Deputy AG. He literally did everything he could in that situation. It’s nuts what they’re saying.

I’ve heard that as well, though I don’t know how well the theory is regarded in the scientific community. But it wasn’t a chain email I heard it from but a book on human sexuality.

“We are better than this”.

Honestly, the exact parallels between the Comey thing and his lifelong pattern of sexual harassment makes it pretty clear that Trump is a serial predator. He corners Comey alone. Comey has “a bad feeling about his character.” He whispers in his ear about how much he’s looking forward to working with him. And when…

Well, the sexualization of breasts is subconscious in men and part of our evolution. It has long been believed that women evolved permanently enlarged breasts (all other apes only have enlarged breasts when nursing) when we (well, Homo Erectus) started walking upright. Before then and in other modern apes (and a ton…

Huh you learn something new every day.

i mean, it’s evolutionary biology, which is a best guess pretty much, so it’s as likely to be true as to be not true?

Yeah, that’s A Thing. It’s called “genital echo theory.” Some researchers think it’s the same reason full lips —especially with red lipstick— are considered sexually attractive.

I’m gonna need someone to photoshop a response like this from Comey. As in, “I met with my boss today and that fat, balding loser tried to tell me how to do my GD job #millertime #ihavebiggerhands”

As I said it could be made up it was just something I had heard of.

I’m with you, I try to hold that belief myself. It’s constantly reinforced by those I surround myself with, and dismantled by those I read about online. It’s a constant struggle.

He’s definitely the type that, when someone doesn’t go directly to the authorities and complain, says “why didn’t they do anything?” and when someone does go to the authorities, claims they’re “nuts “ and “looking for attention” and “showboating.”

“We are better than this.”

I did lol i’m still trying to remember where I heard it too because now I want to know if it bs or not.

Aghhh the catch 22

Fun fact(that may or may not be made up if it is I apologize) scientists think that we started showing clevage to imitate buttocks which show when a female is ready to mate in most primate species. Humans are also the only primate whose mammary glands can produce milk regardless of whether or not the female is…

It’s frightening just how many people shouldn’t have passed middle school biology. I have this argument with people all the time, and it’s always with dudes claiming their penis is analogous to boobs.
