She’s here legally and let him speak for himself. I’m the parent of an 18 year old girl and wouldn’t worry if she did the same.

The question is, why the fuck is Border Patrol listening to a guy like this? He is clearly in need of some kind of help, but they just take him at his word when he claims that he someone is in the country illegally.

I’m not sure what to think at this point—it seems like France didn’t act in 100% good faith at all times, but, it also seems as though the gravamen of Gossett’s grievances (that France got the entire idea from her own project and simply appropriated all of her research and writing) are wholly disputed by various…

It drives me crazy how a woman loudly protesting sexual assault/harassment is somehow seen as worse than the actual harassment itself. The victims are often condemned in harsher terms than the accused. But if you don’t make a scene, then the first thing people ask you after the fact is why you didn’t.

^This. The misogyny runs so deep they back a make-up artist over an actor/actress.

Here’s the deal...

Why would they “back the makeup artist over Lively”? Because MEN DON’T BELIEVE WOMEN TRULY EXPERIENCE THIS. They listened, and they wrote it off as her being a diva, or sensitive, or overly PC or just someone who overreacts to stuff. Because a lot of them do stuff like that themselves, so they think “it’s no big…

Sometimes I wonder how many actresses get called “Difficult to work with” or “Divas” after rebuking sexual advances.

Every time I see an equivocating response like that I can’t help but think the guy has his own bad history of sexual harassment or assault.

Nope, just sacrificial goat. An interview with journalist Jodi Kantor in Slate points out that victims only seemed willing to come forward because he seemed less powerful now; and even then, many of them were scared and concerned.

I’m surprised by all the comments saying that being a surgeon is a choice and no accommodation should be made for pregnant residents. The current residency practices for both surgical and medical specialities could benefit from change beyond accommodating pregnant physicians. For example, many neurosurgery programs…

The nurse made a point in a statement early on that seems lost in the narrative now. The so-called good cops, the ones hired by the hospital to protect staff and patients, didn’t help her. They acquiesced to another officer, even though he was clearly in the wrong. Cops don’t question other cops. They don’t police…

I will respond to you, because this shithead will probably dismiss me. Male nurses actually earn more money then women who are nurses, it is thing called glass escalator. So every man in a industry that it is full of women is going to earn more and be in leading positions. Fields that are full of males will be giving…

But we never assume that about men. We never think, “Oh, he can’t be a physician and a father.” What this is really about is the load of childcare is placed on mothers and we have little to no supports for women after childbirth and childcare. I wonder if other countries who have more supports struggle with the same…

For anyone who wants to do something to help with this election, visit postcards4va.com and sign up to write postcards to registered democrats to ask them to make sure to go vote. I’m currently doing it and it’s really hard to write positive cards instead of just attacking human-bible-gun hybrid Del. Marshall. He has…

13-term Republican incumbent Del. Robert G. Marshall.

Giving context/further explanation of something does not mean you’re justifying it. Settle down.

What’s not often mentioned in these stories is the reason he was trying to draw the blood: A police chase caused that fatal crash, and they were looking for ways to shift the blame to the victims. Every aspect to the story is so fucking terrible/unsurprising.

BINGO. It is so much less effort to just ignore ignore ignore, and carry on like business as usual. But to actually affect change? That requires turmoil, and upsetting the establishment and the dynamics in place, and building something else in their place. All of that takes WORK

I feel like he literally would have gotten a worse sentence if he was an 18 year old who got his underage girlfriend, who was in a consensual relationship with him, pregnant. Something about the fact that he actually kidnapped this girl probably made the judge like him more.
