These are kids; telling a trusted adult is not a “wasted step”, and it also allows her some accommodation from the school, so she doesn’t have to ride the same bus with him or whatnot. Give the girl a break- she did nothing wrong. No one can ever be a victim perfectly enough to meet everyone’s standards.

What can be done to combat this kind of thinking? I have immediate family members that just flatly refuse to grapple with facts-- when they’re confronted with them, they just say, “I don’t believe that”. It feels like democracy hangs on us figuring out a way to bring these people back into the realm of reality, but I…

I stopped watching CNN the day after the election. I have been waaaaaay less annoyed in general.

I know how she feels. I’ve taken a leave of absence from cable news, and I’ve had actual, measurable and manifest health benefits (mental and physical) from it. It’s a beautiful thing. Sorry, Chris, Rachel and the rest, but you weren’t good for me.

Hipster old millennial dads ew right?

Stupid hat? Check.

That’s not true, she said he never called her at all and they never spoke about the song. He read her the entire line and she said she thought it was funny and great and thanked him for calling her about it to check if she would be OK with it. Then she lied and said she was shocked by it. That’s what people don’t like.

It’s kinda splitting hairs but Taylor ok’d the might have sex line and that’s all the phone call shows,she’s always said the part she objects to is the made that bitch famous part so the phone call didn’t prove any sort of lying

I would guess that she’s calling him sexist for suggesting that she lacks discipline and that she is acting in an emotional/erratic/vindictive/spiteful manner because she believes she was passed over. It’s a fairly straightforward accusation. I refuse to actually watch video of this show for any amount of money, so I…

It’s ridiculous for a group of men to declare whether something is sexist, but no more ridiculous than her claim of sexism here. Besides these fucking people’s bloated self importance and lack of self awareness, there’s nothing to see here.

You guys, the dad is the Wookiee.

The weirdest thing about it is like...you KNOW Logan would drop main chick in a heartbeat for her. Like why even be a side chick when you don’t have to be? Clearly he will do ANYTHING for you. Lock that ish down already!! I just don’t get it. And he’s not the sweetest or whatever but I mean he has abs, and flies…

You can also often make donations to your local public defenders office.

Treating women’s bodies as a commodity to be consumed is an unacceptable and pernicious trend that needs to be called out.

This person fucking said they are okay with abortion so fucking STOP fucking putting arguments into their mouth. You can’t just fucking completely dismiss a person when they have fucking told you over and over that they are pro-choice. You’re an asshole. Notice how you’re the ONLY person in this thread who thinks what…

I’ve told this story here at Jez but I will repeat it again. And I’m calling my former rep in PA and telling them and anyone who will listen the same story over and over again until they vote this 20 week ban down when it comes up again.

At our 20 week ultrasound we found out our son had a condition where he…

I think at this point what we are all saying, is that you are embarrassing yourself and you need to take a seat until you are better informed.

I’m not talking about the bible. I am talking about science. I am absolutely pro-choice. And you are sadly uninformed about life science. An embryo is in fact a living thing. It’s cells duplicate and it grows.

Because for more than half the gestational period a fetus is (for lack of a nicer way of putting it) parasitic. And by definition a parasite is an organism that lives in another organism and is dependent on their host for survival. Obviously an unborn fetus and a tapeworm are far from the same thing, but an unviable…

I know what you are trying to say, but...
