Oh my god he looks like a cherub.

YES. Her boyfriend was such a whiny shit. That she gives it all up for him ruins the movie for me.

If it helps, I have friends who went there and described it as being hell on their mental health. Some combination of the remote campus and the workload.

One key phrase here would be “counter hegemonic globalization”. I’m on the go or i’d provide more articles and links. Second the recommendation to read Seeing Like a State

it’s possible that she can handle basic tasks but couldn’t grasp what on earth her husband was doing and that it needed to be reported. Or she was getting help-from a family member or friend or her husband. Or she truly can’t handle caring for the child and the situation was a horrible accident waiting to happen. If…

When did I say, “give this woman a pass for possibly having a learning disorder”? What I did say was, the possibility of her being learning disabled makes it impossible to pass judgement on her in our position, and therefore such a matter should be left to a court, though I should have included that courts are often…

Yeppppppp! Do these people really think that disabled people normally don’t drive or have children? That’s the harm of movies like Me Before You- people never see how disabled people actually live. They only see them dying or locked away in a home, which is only one of the realities of how people work with having a…

What you just said about Crazy Eyes is a really good point- we like disabled people on TV, hate them in real life.

I won’t be persuaded to stop criticizing the crimimalization of the disabled and pushing back against ableism, yes. Thanks for the compliment! How’s the “not engaging” and “moving on” going?

this.

Ugh, I’m sure your husband had a rough time in that situation. The stuff you hear about from then is horrible. Although most of the commenters here seem to be pretty cool with bringing it all back.

Acknowledging that a learning disability may alter someone’s degree of legal culpability is not infantilizing them. To ignore it is to victimize them. Do you believe that a person who has trouble walking is infantilized by the use of a wheelchair or walker? When my doctor recommended ADD meds to me, was I being…

this is perfect

Did saying that make you feel superior?

Also: she was possibly questioned without a lawyer or other advocate present. If she's got a learning disorder, it's possible that she could've said a variety of things because she thought that they were what the FBI wanted to hear, or because the FBI presented to her a version of events that sounded generally right…

I'm speaking based on your actual comments, which I can still see. You have a right not to engage, but you don't have a right to tone-police others without being called out for it.

I’m not angry and if I was, that wouldn’t make my point less legitimate. Tone-policing isn’t gonna get you what you want here. You’re trying to delegitimize my point, not by engaging with it, but by implying that I’m too angry for what I say to matter and that you’re looking out for me by telling me to “move on”.…

Exactly. I can’t claim to know what disorders this woman may or may not have, but it’s so hard to see other people with different learning disorders use their presumed authority to drag this woman down.

You weren't cheeky, you were ableist. You have a real blind spot in this area and you would do well to examine it.

Would your middle school teachers do so also?
