During the Pelicot trial, men who raped an unconscious drugged woman tried to claim it wasn’t rape because her husband gave them permission.
Women are not the property of their husbands.
Marriage does not equal consent for life.
Stop defending rapists.
A Republican realizes that politics actually affects him
I've talked to literally thousands of Republicans who have no idea that the government has played a MASSIVE ROLE in:
- The truck they drive (why is every pickup enormous? Is it really true that ALL truck buyers prefer huge trucks? Why can't you buy a small, cheap one?)
- The education they received (how did you receive a public education? Why are student loans so expensive?)
- The food they eat (why do you rarely get sick eating out?
- The house they live in (why can't you build an ADU? why do you have to maintain your front yard? Why can't you have a courtyard?)
- The clean air & water they have access to
- The mortgage on their house (why does a 30-year fixed mortgage exist here and almost nowhere else?)
- Their health insurance they get through their job (why is it tied to your employer at all?)
- The electricity on their rural property (who ran power lines out there when no private company would?)
- And many more: Not crashing on airplanes (FAA), their 401(k), predictable weather (NWS), GPS on their phone (DoD)
But no, they insist they're rugged men who did it "without anybody's help"
I hate summer because why have I eaten three cheeseburgers this week and it’s only thursday. and I actually turned down an opportunity to eat a fourth cheeseburger. before this week I haven’t had a cheeseburger in months. really makes you think
If you are a quiet, even tempered, single, monogamy-inclined, independently wealthy music engineer named Diego over the age of 38 who is gay, stocky with a large butt, a low to voraciously high sex drive, fluency in spanish and italian, and looking to marry a bald drag queen named Katya i have found a suitable engagement ring if you would like to propose marriage. Deal breakers include: we cannot live in the same house, religious okay but no astrology, no hard drugs, no “fun drunks”. I am able to bring many wonderful things to the table (all subject to change without notice) and I will be ready to seriously date in approximately 18 months. My red flags include low to no relationship experience, unpredictable mood swings, substance abuse disorder, being bald, and wearing wigs for both business and pleasure. My green flags include an imitable joie de vivre, great teeth and my primary love language is physical touch followed by quality time (Tuesday, Friday and Saturday only please—absence makes the heart grow fonder) There is no chance in hell for children but pets are negotiable. Thank you. ♥️
MASSIVE PROTEST IN ROME TODAY
Protestors in Rome carried a massive symbolic shroud, inscribed with the names of more than 21,000 Palestinian children killed by Israel.
The progressive position is that we should enable people to have the children they want, when they want, and that regardless of what happens with birth rates we need to figure out a system of caring for children and the elderly that doesn’t collapse without enough unpaid women
