Here’s my worst fear: if teachers are expected to shoot the intruder, it’s going to be one of my students.
I will quit my teaching job before I allow someone to arm me. Period.
I have an evil sense of humor. I have been known to laugh at jokes connected with sensitive topics. But they’re not based on “Ha ha ha this guy is stalking his ex, whom he has brutalized in the past, and physically attacking anyone whom she chooses to be with because obviously she’s still his property, what a laugh…
I think that one of the main reasons these jokes are considered acceptable is the way it was framed by the media - as a Barnes vs. Fisher battle . Two rich men acting like High Schoolers over a girl is funny. However, that framing eliminates Gloria from the story. By doing so, it eliminates the real terror that must…
Police and prosecutors bend over backwards to make sure rape victims who report their rapes are punished for it, and rapists are allowed to rape with impunity. That’s not just how the system works; it’s how the system is designed to work.
Yes, but she’s called herself a PARENT and she clearly didn’t push a child out of her vagina. Sanctimommies rage over this sort of thing.
Newland literally lead the victim to believe that the victim was having sex with a completely different person (who didn’t even exist). How the hell is that so difficult for people to follow?
Bitch, my eyes are rolled back so far, I can hardly see to reply. You posted a reaction GIF which conveyed nothing but snark, not any sort of point. Next time, if you have a point to make, just fucking type it out, rather than making us all guess.
I’ve seen plenty of broke-ass dudes with girlfriends/wives and so have you.
For real. People have “no fat chicks” stickers on their cars for Christ sake.
Bitch, please.
As much as this article laments that short dudes are discriminated against in the dating scene, I can only believe that they have it better than most. I imagine when she mentioned “short man”, most readers would think of a young, physically-fit, white short dude. Because the available heuristic is still the most…
This sadly applies to a lot of aspects of third wave feminism. You said it in your comment - we don’t make choices in a vacuum. So many feminists (especially on this site) will argue until they’re blue in the face trying to validate their choices as having nothing to do with the patriarchy, but it would be easier to…
Great post.
It reminds me of the whole taking your husband’s name when you get married thing. As every Jezebel article on the subject illustrates, many if not most female readers either took their husband’s name or plan to, which is perfectly understandable. But way, way too many of them angrily insist that they did so completely…
—For a man to openly reject a woman because he found her fat would be not only accepted but expected and probably applauded.
—For a man to openly reject a woman because he found her fat would be social suicide.—
Hey, can’t people just be attracted to whatever they like, they argue. Is it really discrimination to prefer a man who is tall, dark, or handsome to a man who is short, pale, and just OK-looking? Alternately, is it really so wrong to want a woman with blonde hair and big tits versus one with brown hair and smaller…
I don’t think most people want to face up to the fact of how much their ideas of beauty and what’s appealing is influenced by society’s ideals and what they’ve been exposed to. They’d rather throw up their hands and claim what they like is inherent, rather than examine their biases and broaden their horizons. While…
