But they’re walking around in public when other guys do it to other women. How do they not notice ever?

I’m not sure which Kinja site it was on, but not too long ago, when the topic of “Why don’t women come forward sooner?” came up re workplace harassment, somebody gave the basic explanation— fear of retaliation, a knowledge that the system won’t do anything to help you, & fear of not being believed— some male type…

Male privilege. It’s the same as when we talk about white privilege. They—men—don’t have any firsthand experience with the problem, therefore the problem doesn’t exist.

I think a lot of guys, average, ordinary nice guys, choose not to see it because then they would have to do something about it or admit they are not that nice. They would have to admit they have done something like it in the past.

Nope. Ex had law enforcement and press coming to him. Yeah, maybe an act against the ex-wife but she’s gonna come out of this OK. The one that should pay in the blackmailing hypocritical governor — unless of course you think that is acceptable behavior.

would require violating the privacy of both parties to the point of making normal teenage behaviors impossible.

Wait...what? Grown women should do something...but not grown men who raise children, also known as fathers? And girls should be taught something...but not boys?

Then, they love themselves because they respect their own abilities and they have zero time for bullshit.

So...men and boys must change nothing, then...? Surely the answer isn’t the one we’ve used for decades, i.e., “blame in on the mother.”

No. The problem is not that girls are normal young people who want relationships. That is normal for human beings. The problem isn’t that girls just need to work harder on their self esteem. The problem is THE BOYS. THE MEN. What our society is teaching them, as well as girls, about what boys and men are owed, what…

The meaningful way to accomplish this is to punish boys who coerce. No means no, take no for an answer, learn boundaries, respect other people’s boundaries.

Well, gosh. He couldn’t have just injured his wife. He could’ve also injured someone like a cop that would have actually gotten him sent to prison for life. I am at the end of my rope with DV cases. If men did what they did to their intimate female partners to strangers, they would face serious penalties- no question,…

I was so fucking horrified when he got the Nobel prize for literature.

I don’t understand how a gender swapped Overboard is supposed to work. Given that even in 2017 that most men don’t do their equal share of the housework and childrearing, what on earth is to be gained by convincing an amnesiac rich guy that he’s poor AND your husband? Taking on a fake husband seems like it would be…

Just reverse the genders and ask yourself how this story by a guy would be reviewed by jezebel

Ah yes I can see that happening in rural areas more so than metro ones. I’m located in a huge city and the midwives I know are exceptional and talented and serious about their profession. 80 may be slightly high but not by much. It’s very rare that I turn someone away for a home birth if that’s what they want. To each…

Midwife here. There are very few unlicensed midwives practicing. Why anyone would go to an unlicensed anything is beyond me. Licensed midwives are a perfectly safe bet for 80% of births and we are probably more experienced with normal birth than most doctors practicing. Most of my obgyn friends did not get schooled in…

Season 1 of Jessica Jones had its problems, and I liked The Punisher more than I expected, but I think Jessica Jones is the best of the Netflix Marvel characters, and I’m pumped for season 2. 

I had 2 abortions in 10 years, thanks to planned parenthood. And for the first time ever I won’t follow that up with my reasons as to why I had them. I needed them, desperately and I was shown respect, phenomenal emotional and physical support from the staff. I was able to leave with my dignity and my life, sadly that…
