It doesn’t make it any better for this situation, but pedophilia is very specific to being attracted to children, not teenagers. There is a difference. I think most adult men would sleep with 15-16 year old girls if it were legal/socially acceptable. Pedophiles are only interested in children who have not gone…

I think the good he does in office outweighs whatever offenses he’s accused of. Call me hypocritical all you like. I care about not getting into war, killing the environment, fucking up public education, etc.. more than I care about a dude being obnoxious and inappropriate with a few women.

As a woman who has been harassed and lost professional opportunities due to speaking up, I agree with you. This environment reminds me of the satanic panic of the 1980's. It’s getting ridiculous.

Good one. First world comfort shouldn’t be criticized since it might hurt feelings.

Meanwhile, people walking on the street or living in the city are subjected to your noise and pollution because it’s easier and more comfortable to you. Nice.

Good apology, move on. We might have one or two male politicians left if we suddenly knew of every gross interaction they’ve had with women. Let’s save the outrage for really awful behavior so it means something.

Who is going to write the piece comparing those complicit in sexual harassment/assault by not speaking up and those complicit in damaging the earth/causing wars/poor folk exploitation by buying a lot of cheap shit?

Glad you are taking care of yourself and hope the meds are helping! It totally is a serious illness and you deserve concern/support from others and good medical treatment. I’m sorry you have to deal with the “well meaning people”; There are so many of us out here who can relate to you. You are not alone.

Has there ever been a legal definition for “unborn child”? Can I sue one for physical and emotional distress, loss of income, etc..?

A health hazard to the person who is not wearing shoes, then, not to anyone else. I can see the company having an issue with this, since the person could be injured, but shoed individuals aren’t going to suffer.

What’s the health hazard? I think it’s odd that someone wants to be barefoot in an office, but I can’t see how this affects the health of everyone else. Feet aren’t dirty, the floor is. Shoes get dirty from walking on the floor, too.

Alice Paul! Little girl lived up to her namesake.

Yes. ‘Was a fan of Mallory (and still think her speech at the Women’s March was outstanding) until she started quoting and praising Farrakhan.

He gets off on abusing/debasing women, not the freaky acts themselves, I suspect. This isn’t really “kink” in the traditional sense of the word.

It would be so great if the majority of us could stop excusing misogyny from Abrahamic religions. Ignoring the fucked upness of fundamentalism has got us the Trump administration. I wish people would stop sheltering these organizations from criticism. They harm people.

In addition to the other suggestions, I’d send a letter here: https://ffrf.org, since they specialize in this kind of thing.(Freedom From Religion Foundation)

I think process addictions are definitely “real”: gambling, sex, shopping, video games... but not applicable to this situation and agree that it’s used as excuse far too often.

These “conservatives” only concern is to amass wealth/power by stripping others of access to it. They do not give a shit about anything else. Non-whites, women, children, undocumented people are easy targets. They may also have the brains of a psychopath, so yes, it’s very likely their minds are structurally…

More babies: more to infect with christian virus. The things extreme christians believe are super scary. They need to brainwash as many people as possible so they can be rewarded after death. Children, especially vulnerable ones (poverty or abuse) are seen as easy targets.

If thoughts and prayers are so powerful, what do we need guns for?
