My (pretty chill) mother did a bunch of hand-wringing when my sister moved in with her longtime boyfriend two years ago because “what will people think?”—as if anyone still cares about “living in sin.”

Can someone explain to me how getting married after after committing the sin somehow makes up for it? You make a mistake when you're 14 and then are saddled with a rapist for a husband for the rest of your life? Yes, that is what a loving god would want to happen. Makes sense.

For the second time this evening:

But it’s definitely women who are too emotional to hold public office, join the armed forces or make their own medical decisions. Right.

Actually they do. Statistically women live longer without a husband to take care of. Men live longer with a wife to take care of them.

One of the comedy Instagram accounts I follow, which is normally very funny, posted a video yesterday of a guy asking a girl out, she and her friends laughing at him, and then him beating the shit out of the girl and screaming that he’s going to fucking kill her. Not real, of course, but absolutely vile stuff. And…

I’m not surprised that there was a history of domestic violence in this case.

“...Paduano’s motivation for the slaying was that he ‘didn’t accept being abandoned to have to take full responsibility for his own pathetic life without murdering an innocent woman for being a scapegoat for his completely self-created personal failings.’”

There are a number of men who have the same problem.

What is it about the male ego that would prefer a life of showers with predatory men, to simply just.....I dunno...walking away from the situation?

Japan has several uninhabited/abandoned islands with different animal populations. Does anybody want to go with me? I can’t decide between one of the cat islands or the bunny island.

Maria Monteleone posits thatPaduano’s motivation for the slaying was that he “didn’t accept being abandoned”

Seems to me that most women and children lead healthier, happier lives if their lives are man-free, no?

“A nearby surveillance camera shows multiple cars passing by the scene as Di Pietrantonio screamed for help. Monteleone notes that had someone stopped, her life might have been saved.”

I love when women watch out for other women

“If you’re not a liberal when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative when you’re 40, you have no head.”

Oh, that’s not even the worst of it. At the beginning of the war, there were preliminary casualty estimates done that predicted very heavy losses among pilots. So there were a number of training programs set up so we’d have ready replacements. A lot of men would enlist in the Army and then get into those training…

“Though WASPs received strict military training, did drills and wore uniforms, they were considered a paramilitary, civilian organization at the time—in part due to a lobby of angry male pilots who felt they were being put out of their jobs by women.”
