Just a friendly reminder that we had 33 hearings into Benghazi and millions of dollars spent over several years which turned up nothing. Now they’re circling the wagons to protect foreign intervention into our election (which all intelligence agencies agree happened). Republican hypocrisy knows no bounds.

Wonderful, we have a Gestapo now. TBH, the few ICE agents I know joined specifically for the chance of doing this type of thing, so they are going to be very busy doing what they love.

Part of his whole shtick was because he thought black men were ‘corrupting’ white women. Which probably means some woman he liked chose a black man over him.

Maybe ‘complicit in racism’. (And of course they were complicit in sexism too by voting for Trump). I agree it’s not just about hateful motives, it’s about the impact of an action and what people were willing to ignore for their own gain.

What you’re doing is providing context for why people acted in a racist manner; it’s not a validation that they aren’t racist.

Being complicit in racism is still being racist. Voting for a candidate who spouts racist ideology is still racism, even if that’s not explicitly the reason you voted for them. Calling it

Obama signing executive orders: a constitutional crisis from a man that thinks he’s a king.

Anecdotally speaking, this sounds accurate. As a white (relatively older) millennial, my “people’s” political leanings are almost completely dictated by geography. My city dwelling and college friends are overwhelmingly liberal.

So it isn’t the gate agent, but the policy that’s blatantly sexist.

Leggings are the way, the truth, and the light.

Since the issue for United is the employee dress code for people flying on employee passes, I wouldn’t be mad if they’d made the dad change too. They have every right to require that people who work for them meet a certain level of formality when redeeming a benefit.

An unfortunate Barbie Camper fire would work. My sister had one of those and as I recall, it burns splendidly (she shouldn’t have put a mustache on Mrs. Beasley).

I’d pay extra to hire only female drivers for my Lyft / Uber needs (I cannot drive due to medical issues).

The way the tension lifts from my body when I get a woman taxi driver on the way home after work late at night is so tremendous and wonderful, the way the rape anxiety dissipates! It’s so freeing!

I’m still amazed that there aren’t more women-only services. Drivers, house cleaners, house painters, etc. I’d pay extra to hire only female drivers for my Lyft / Uber needs (I cannot drive due to medical issues).

Thanks. I can’t say it’s good he killed himself based on the profound pain it’s caused our family, he was obviously troubled in a variety of ways. Members of my family often say, which I guess is typical after suicide, that they didn’t see it coming and didn’t think he had any issues. It’s like I have this secret

Even with men I know who earnestly want to learn and be allies...in some ways they simply can’t get it. It permeates everything.

It took me many, many years to seek counseling after being raped and the therapist was even recommended by my female gyno. Sadly, the therapist was awful but instead of sending me into a deeper depression, it was humorous to me and allowed me to let go of so much of the pain and fear. Later, a friend asked me if

Thanks for writing this. I was assaulted by an acquaintance who mistook my basic friendliness as reason enough to break into my bedroom in the middle of the night. For a long time after, I was worried about being the kind of girl who “led boys on.” Everything I tried to be growing up as a shy child - kind, friendly,
