It’s also perfectly valid to not be sexually attracted to a person and believe they’re entitled to fundamental human rights.

This. The same people trying to make this BS argument on the validity of transwomen’s femininity are also known for pointing out that a woman’s value isn’t based on her fuckability. The Irony.

allegedly after a student complained that they were targeted by the note.

You’d think it would be obvious that, if anyone “felt bullied” by warnings of a rapist, it would be because he’s the fucking rapist.

An armed woman illegally enters a neighbor’s home, unannounced and uninvited. Upon entering, the unarmed resident of the home stands and asks this intruder what the intruder is doing there. The intruder then, apparently fearing for her life, draws her gun and with no warning, shoots (to kill! Her admission!!) and…

I think a lot of career people who spend a fair chunk of their time apart have a similar arrangement. I’m nowhere near this industry, but am in a big money, high powered corporate industry and it’s pretty much the thing for the CEOs and executives who are married to other high powered, busy people. 

That was my first thought. If I were that driver I’d be kicking myself for not waiting and missing meeting... LIZZOOOooooOMG!!! I get the hangry rage about missed food, late food, or just WRONG food with delivery apps. I’ve gotten reaaal bitchy with app customer service because I’m just HANGRY at that point.  I feel…

Wypipo seem to insist on someone, anyone regardless of who actually did whatever to them, must pay for hurting their feelings, etc but are super quick to claim that they ought not pay for benefitting from something they clearly benefit from because you know, they personally didn’t do anything wrong.

White America likes nothing more than wallowing in its own tragedies, and feeling victimized, because it gives them some much needed identity. While at the same time, they regularly dismiss the tragedies and atrocities they’ve been visiting on other groups of people, like Mexican immigrant children, or all millions of…

What does that even mean?! Intent is not the issue. Racists don’t “intend” to see black people as less than human, they just do. People who harass others believe they have a right to do so because they and their actions are somehow in a sacred context that overrides all others.

In my opinion, what you describe as being acceptable is streaking or flashing, but what Kavenaugh did goes further, he forced women to touch his penis when he exposed himself. I think most people can walk away from streaking or flashing un-traumatized, but from being forced to touch? I think that goes way too far and…

This guy is a walking SVU episode.

“Harmless Fun”?

The Times has become like a senile elderly relative who used to be really smart. They just seem out of it the past few years. They get to some stories days after they appear in WaPo and the whole paper just seems stale and tired.

“Come on, we were just having a little fun,” said every privileged white male through the ages.

NYT has some great investigative journalists and a lot of other great professionals, but their access journalists and their editors and social media people are, well, misguided is a nice way to describe it.

Do they somehow believe Trump won’t attack Biden’s age or known instant recollection issues? Not that Trump is grounded in reality at all, but he most definitely WILL go for the low blow whenever he speaks. Castro’s remark was a kindergarten level slight compared to what’s coming.

[Rudy’s] splurges—$7,131 on fountain pens and another $12,012 on cigars.

Rudy Giuliani, a man known for his messy divorces

Castro asked Biden if he had forgotten what he said two minutes ago because he had just contradicted himself.  Everyone else drew the conclusion that he forgot because he’s old.  Because it’s god-damned obvious when a dude goes on a rant about record players in 2019 that his old ass is probably forgetting things.

Listen.
