The thing that really hurts looking back at 2016 is that bad-ass Democratic convention and realizing it wasn’t enough.

I hate him for a multitude of reasons. Should I make a list?

This post made my day. Way to mayor, Mayor Khan!

I propose we shoot him into space, preferable in the direction of the sun. Dumping him on an island only creates the risk of extreme right rescue attempts.

Your reading comprehension is crystal clear. It’s some bullshit.

Also abbreviating a word is basically spelling it out for people to say in their heads. It’s denying the word exists while saying it both at the same time - effectively doing the same with the pain people feel about it. The sentence “government official used the word “nigger”?!?” is perfectly acceptable. It points the…

This. I was in the realm of getting few channels growing up, thus his show was... on. It was extra gross to have him be the “sexy” womanizer guy. I mean HELLO? Cedric the Entertainer always brings that sexual heat.

So this is beyond disgusting, but how many of us are surprised? ‘person complicit is the poisoning of an entire municipality of black people, hates black people.’? Ugh.

“Funderdome?” Seriously?

Normalizing begging for money will be important to the future of Americans.

Yeah, but their stupid religion requires them to have as many spawn as possible to build an army of religious zealots to take over the fucking world.

Mon dieu! if that ain’t a punchable face.

Steve Harvey gives me the creeps.

Steve Harvey is getting another tv hosting gig? Why has his super racist “Do you like Asian Men?” episode not having a bigger effect on his career?

I maintain that having more than seven children is eco-terrorism. 20 is fucking disgraceful. Do you know how dangerously over-populated earth is? What makes them think they have a right to be so irresponsible with their basic-ass genetic material and then make it everyone else’s responsibility to support them???

Oh my gaaaaawd what I would give to get rid of this ugly inbred crunchy curled family!!!

Looking back on it, I see your point. The most likely option is that he purposefully chose the “worse than” language to polarize the case. He is appealing to the MRA types that he hopes are in the jury.

I always think these distinctions are interesting. I’ve trained myself to use the term survivor (as you suggest) as a kind of testament to the power of healing and the agency of women. However, I was caught off guard a few months ago when I heard a close friend describe herself as a victim of rape. I asked why she…

And rape isn’t even that bad anyway, it’s basically the biggest compliment you can get, so why don’t you just lie back and enjoy it. I mean your body will shut down any pregnancy from a real rape, so you don’t even need to worry about that! (cobbled from the worst real life quotes of republicans).

Well of course that’s worse because it destroys a man, where actual sexual assault typically destroys a woman and I think we all know whose life is more valuable here.
