So in other words, boys will be boys. I hope you raise your sons better than that.

Truth, regarding the sausage issue.

I suppose my view comes from the idea that if we give in to absolute nihilism, then there’s no point in continuing.

I’ve had my own problems in life (including a far deeper love of beer than I should have had for a few years), but the world itself is a beautiful thing, and I’m not…

Richmonder here. Who are you talking about?

OMG yes!!

I often find myself wondering what someone’s life looks like that this is how they spend their time.

mother. fuck. you. mother. fuck. your. whole. damn. team.

Yeah, but Dwaye is consistently a misogynistic shitbird here, who spends time here for reasons only Freud could puzzle out.

Nah. Word is the Academy specifically told him his presence wasn’t wanted, and this is how they’re handling it. (AKA: “I wasn’t fired, I quit”)

Coming from a strictly anecdotal point of view, I didn’t know shit about managing my finances until I actually had an opportunity to take a course which was essentially being offered for free. Now, we all know that poverty is due to a number of things—not just a lack of financial literacy—but I wouldn’t just assume…

But... anonymous! How can we know these aren’t people with grudges who just want to bring studios down with their false lying lies about being paid pennies! And it’s not like being paid pennies is anywhere near as bad as not being hired, you know. Geez.

So what... I’m supposed to put up with systemic misogyny, harassment, discrimination, sexual assault, etc, and I’m supposed to do it using only some impossibly inoffensive words and a polite smile on my face, while solving all of men’s fucking issues, too?

For once, just for once, I’d like to see men actually deal…

Insanity implies mental illness. This just sounds stupid.

Gotta think she’d be better off in a hospital or at home with a midwife, but if she wants to give birth birth right on the Senate floor, who am I to stop her?

The thing that annoys me the most about the “But why didn’t you just” argument is that by insisting there was an action and you just didn’t perform it, it completely holds victims responsible for their own rapes. So, the strong ones who don’t freeze don’t get raped, the silly weak ones who forgot to go for the balls…

Whenever someone says the words “spread their/her legs” —you can pretty much assume everything they say next is going to be pure garbage.

Germaine Greer was Camille Paglia before Camille Paglia. I read the Female Eunuch and was really impressed by a lot of it, but was taken aback even then by her dismissive attitude toward women abused by their husbands, boasting about how she had lived with two men with convictions for violent behavior and not been…

What he said:

Totally agree that it is probably just part of the machine, but it raises two really important points: (1) Lots of victims try and push this stuff out of their head so that it isn’t all-consuming, but abuse has odd ways of popping up in your daily life when you least expect it: like when you get a reminder in the mail…

This is so moving, heartbreaking, enraging. I am almost 60. I came of age during what was supposedly the height of “women’s lib”. I believed, as many others did, that things would be so much different, easier, better, for our daughters. Clearly they are not.

A couple of things to unpack here. I believe that the 35% voter turn out in Alabama was because REPUBLICANS did not turn out for Roy Moore. The voter turnout from African Americans was through the roof and rivaled presidential elections. So taking that as an example of “liberal apathy” is not accurate.
