The title made me think the piece was going to be snarky...something about the way it was written. When I read the article itself, it did not read snarky at all and seemed more thoughtful, especially while criticizing the brownface (which was warranted).

I gotta be honest, "our Republican women" is just as grating to me as "our Republican females" for some reason...might be the possessive that is bothersome.

We did a yellow sapphire, but the ring is solid gold. We bought it for 800 and I think I could get just about that if I resold, but mostly because the gold holds it's value so well. It's cool, art deco. I wear it for fancy occasions...mostly just wear my wedding band.

More BS out of Rep. Elmers. Let's not forget that Elmers is the one who was telling all the male GOPers that they need to make sure to talk down at a women's level. That most women agree with Republicans on all issues, but you know, because the Republican male members (pun intended) use charts, graphs and real…

Yeah I hear you. For me it looked like a parasite at week 8.

I heard that you have to do a blood test in West Virginia prior to getting married, but I think that might be a myth? It's a state by state thing. Testing for incest, HIV, stuff like that.

So, clearly there's another solution here: we just give the 20+ week fetus anesthesia while we abort it.

There are so many questions with how this would even be put into effect. Paternity questions, how would you prove rape within the duration of the pregnancy (to be able for the abortion to occur), the fact that the patient's medical records are private due to HIPAA so how would this even be enforced if the affidavit is…

Please do so and then put those samplers on Etsy. I will buy one for each floor of my house to display.

Yeah, and I was offended when the Duggars got on a bus and drove to Virginia to campaign for Ken Cuccinelli, AKA the Ayatollah of Virginia, during the gubernatorial elections...this is what they do. They're a political machine. You just want to scream, "get out of my town!".

My guess is that she was pressured to resign.

Siano's letter makes me just want to get on a plane and protest the shit out of this thing.

Yeah that is terrible!

I'd be curious to see how the Millennials do with this study. There's been a lot of emphasis on trends in egalitarian partnerships. Millennials (men and women) also tend to work less (through choice or otherwise). This is of course anecdotal, but all of my friends have egalitarian households with chores and…

Good point!

I understand what you're saying. Society should provide consequences for positions that we determine to be morally repugnant, not the law. That's a reasonable point. Sometimes I think that the laws are ahead of where society should be, and sometimes they're not. For example I think the civil rights legal movements…

Living in that big ass mer palace

Yeah, I hear you.

I believe you meant afowl.

I guess though, the employer would not know that the employee raped you unless they witnessed it. Otherwise they'd be hearing one (or two different) sides. Should they fire the employee without concrete proof? What if you lied? That would then be for the police to investigate, right? I get uncomfortable with colleges…
