What “causes” violence against women is men choosing to be violent/abusive/controlling/coercive with women. It’s “caused” by men seeing women as their personal property to do with as they please. It’s “caused” by a society that’s not only indifferent to the issue, but empowers abusers to carry on. Our laws are deeply…

The Jezebel author might have just written that.

My guess is that it’s less puritanism and more laziness. They’re likely going to have the puzzles randomly generated from the word list with no/minimal oversight by an actual person - so they want to not risk it grabbing something ‘offensive’ as the word of the day.

Billie Eilish is not a teenage girl. She’s an adult.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard yet....It’s not like anyone else is seeing what you’re guessing! The only person to be offended would be yourself!

Do I take this roundup as a referendum on the Olympics, at least on a site level? As a non-watcher myself, I don’t know otherwise how interested people are.

Poor left wing extremists  using sexual orientation as a weapon as if it was bad. How homophobic to use it as a weapon

You make a good fascist.

“Police and political leaders seem powerless to do anything about the protesters (or maybe they’re just supporters)...”

You’re complaining that women were trying to wear something too loose??

Agreed. The poking should lead to whatever “discipline” they pretend to have in Congress. I think the masking ship has sailed. I wear mine but I don’t really care anymore if others don’t wear theirs. I just keep my distance. Are you free to ask people to wear their mask? Yes. Are you prepared to be on the receiving…
