Her views matter less that her judicial nominees. One more left leaning jurist and it would be gone.

This is why we have to have a Democratic president. The death penalty is barbaric and we have to get rid of it once and for all.

Ironic that these guys don’t know how to spell the name of a woman from the Bible.

Thank you, Occula. Wow. I can’t believe I teared up when I read your comment, but I did.

I really hope you can find a space you feel safe. Sending you internet hugs.

It took a really long time, and learning to think of that 15 year old as, in someways, someone else. I eventually realized I would never blame a different 15 year old for doing that. It took a while longer to give that compassion to myself.

Wow. That book sounds fascinating/horrifying.

I’m so sorry. The idea of rapist picking people who won’t be believed is so depressing.

I’m really sorry your friends tried to make you feel bad for leaving. Their discomfort was their problem; and if they had taken a moment to unpack the situation they would have realized it.

I’ve been sexually assaulted twice, once in high school, once in college. Both times, absolutely nothing happened to my attackers—mostly because it seemed so much less traumatic for me to try to downplay what happened than it was for me to try to convince others something had.

agreed!

I’m 40 yo woman with no kids; I also haven’t entirely written off kids in my life. It blows my mind that people feel the need to tell me that either a. time is running out or b. I probably won’t be able to have my own kids. Especially my friends with kids who have a tendency to point to their imaginary watches in a…

I think she’s pointing out that “barren” is a pretty shaming word.

I recently told my husband that I heard this growing up in the south. He couldn’t believe it. It would have been the 80’s-90’s.

It’s weird to me that they aren’t mentioned at all. Maybe they don’t want to be on TV, which is totally understandable, but it’s like she doesn’t have any other kids.

Yeah, that’s what I was sort of wondering. Maybe this narrative serves as a sort of revenge for Bruce’s poor treatment on KUWTK? Now Caitlyn has the strength to stand up to Kris or something? BUt without that context, she (Caitlyn) just comes off as a bully to her family members, who seem fairly reasonable in their…

I’ve been watching “I Am Cait” and I feel like Cait vacillates between being genuinely curious and open minded and open about her transition and what it means to her and to the world and to the trans community, and being a total jerk to her family. I never watched KUWTK, so I don’t know if this is playing off of some…

Nope. Incidents of violent rape (which I believe means rape with accompanying non-rape physical assault) do not increase in states with Right to Carry. That is not the same as those incidents going down, nor does it mean anything about non-violent rape. I want to be accurate, just as much as you want to be a troll.

Here we go again:

Okay, I did. Here’s what I found.
