This is horrifying. Makes me think of the Louis C.K. skit.
She’s wrong, but not as wrong as she sounds. When she says women radicalize, it’s because when they’re younger they don’t get the full brunt of sexism’s force. You get bonuses for being young, fuckable, available. Once your last fuckable day comes and goes? Good fucking luck holding on to anything: you’d better be…
One time there was a trending twitter hashtag that was like “political sitcoms” or something and I came up with “Gillibrand’s Island” and I just feel like the internet has never given me enough credit.
Oh for fuck’s sake. I thought women were supposed to be the vindictive, overly emotional ones who can’t hold positions of leadership because our hormones will get the best of us and one day we’ll read Cosmo, think we’re fat, and then we’ll nuke some shit.
This shit right here is why I’m voting for whoever the fuck gets the Democratic nomination. There is too much at stake for this hyperbole that Hillary is just another republican. Tell that to my uterus assholes.
“As for the concerns regarding mental toughness and possible romantic entanglements: fuck off, entitled gross dudes.”
As I was reading this article I turned to my coworker, exasperated, and ranted about the exact same thing. How about you guys just choose not to be assholes and cheat on your wives or sexually harass…
I can understand somewhat the initial concern about physical strength but this is negated by the mandatory requirements. Aka if she can meet the physical strength required, then she has every right to be there.
Welcome to the modern GOP. Their entire campaign theme at all levels is to endlessly whine about the media and the nature of the questions asked. They whined at Fox, they whined at CNN and now at CNBC. Here is something not mentioned by Reince - he negotiated the deal for the debate and approved the moderators. It is…
Do they really think that whining about the tone and content of questions makes them appear presidential? Or that questions like this will stop if they become president?
I work in a psych hospital. We’re one of the only facilities in the area that takes kids with severe aggression, so we get most of the roughest cases. I’ve been hit in the face and clawed. I have coworkers who’ve suffered concussions and broken noses. Not one of us ever lashed out violently after. If, as some people…
I did an internship that involved going to juvenile court, and I have to say, a lot of the kids were in foster care and almost none had their parents show up at all for their hearings. Instead of helping these kids deal with difficult situations, we basically just criminalize any acting out, and end up putting these…
Deescalation > Immediate disciplinary action.
I KNEW the victim-blaming would start! Who’s the principal there, Steven A. Smith? “The victim has to assume some responsibility to avoid her own assault.... we must make sure that we learn as much as we can about elements of provocation...”
I held off several days before I could watch the video. But if I’m to voice an opinion I had to watch.
It’s a start, but victim blaming pretty much negates what small good they might have done. I don’t care what this girl did to get arrested, that is not how you treat people.
as a teacher, i am glad to learn that the sro’s actions were not “proper procedure” at this school. teens can be infuriating to us adults at times, but it is the responsibility of every single adult in the school to model self control, peaceful conflict resolution, and respect for others at all times. it’s a burden…
