I know somebody who is planning to take women's studies and is obsessed with "rape culture" and the like
You know how people have been saying that rape is about power, not sex? That is SUCH a lie, but because it sounds good, people have bought into it, and the whole "power dynamic between the sexes" narrative. Easier to do that than to acknowledge that some people think with the wrong head. How do you deal with that? Castration? So it's far easier for everyone to say it's about power instead...
The very definition of "rape culture" is fluid, and so non-specific, with most examples having nothing to do with rape, that it's ridiculous. Women being more afraid to walk alone at night than men is not an example of "rape culture."
The claim that "Publicly defending celebrities accused of rape just because they’re celebrities and ignoring or denouncing what the victim has to say" is not rape culture, because our culture rejects this. Just ask how many people are condemning Bill Cosby. Celebrity means nothing.
How about "Politicians distinguishing “legitimate rape” and stating that rape is “something that God intended to happen,” among other horrendous claims." The vast majority of our culture totally rejects that. Totally. We think people like Ted Cruz are idiots.
And then there's "The victimization of hospital patients, especially people with mental health issues and the elderly, by the very people who are there to protect them." Most of this is financial gain or physical violence - not rape. And that's what hidden cameras placed by relatives are showing.
"Supporting athletes who are charged with rape and calling their victims career-destroyers." Most people don't do this, so no, it's not part of any "rape culture."
Rape is not a culture - it's an act by an individual to have non-consensual sex with another individual. This include children, who are not capable of giving legitimate consent. It happens a lot, and the stats that say 1 out of 4 are, if anything, too low. But that doesn't make it part of our culture - if it were, we would see it as normal, not condemning it for the crime and tragedy that it is.
That's because feminism is dying. 1st wave is long dead, second wave is dead, 3rd wave is dying and 4th wave isn't getting any traction. It's now seen as more important to actually address the problems rather than engage in the blame game.
Can't believe the final sentence of the abstract is not a giveaway: "thereby leading to more just and equitable... human-ice interactions." Wha??
What, you would deprive those all-so-special ice queens of their ice dildos? You know, to relieve the soreness of the sores of stds that they say women are more susceptible to when the glaciers melt? Based off of one report of one study by someone else of one glacier melting.
Far better to give them a carved ice monolith with the words "correlation is not causation" inscribed on it...
What they're asking and what they're getting are not nearly the same thing. It's not unusual to set up several accounts, each selling the same comic (or other good) at different inflated prices, to make the lowest one look like a steal
Golden age comics, and some silver age comics, are worth money. The problem is that when comic book collecting became big, people started buying them and stuffing them in mylar sleeves with acid-free backing boards, hoping to make money off them. The fact that there are so many comics stored like this drives down the price of one even in mint condition. Plus the gimmicky press runs (I remember watching collectors going oooh and aaaah trying to collect one Detective comic book that had a press run for each of 6 different colored covers - same story inside. They were selling for $15 each a week after release. Today, you'd be lucky to get that. BTW, a month later they were selling for $40 a copy, and people still bought them to "complete the series" That period was a real tulip mania.
I went to high school with Gerry Ross, and a decade or so later I ended up building several stores for him in Montreal, one in LaSalle, and stores in Moncton, Kansas City, and New Jersey, as well as the move to the (then) new warehouse. Got a real good look at how the comic book business works, and trust me, it's all hype. And pretty cut-throat. One time Gerry paid a competitor $15k to drop out of bidding for a collection that he ended up paying $78k because there was no other bidder, then told US customs the guy was smuggling $15k back into the US from a drug deal. You'd have to ask the fool which hurt more - the forfeiture of the money or the cavity probes. It's a really ugly business, and let's face it - there isn't an overwhelming supply of Nicolas Cages wanting to buy Action #1.
And the grading of comics and assigning prices to them is a scam. Has been since the original guide was published, and always will be.
This is what happens when you start off with one faulty deduction.
"Jaclyn found a report that noted how women are more vulnerable to glacier changes and hazards than are men," said Carey, associate dean of the Clark Honors College and a professor of history and environmental studies. "I had never researched these gendered vulnerabilities."
That report linked flooding from a glacial lake with an increase of sexually transmitted infections in women. "I was fascinated by how two seemingly disparate issues could be so intimately linked through glacial ice," Rushing said. "I wanted to know more about the relationship between women and ice, so we pursued the topic from climate-change vulnerability to knowledge."
Unless you're having sex with the wildlife, you get sexually transmitted diseases from, you know, sex with other humans. It's more likely to be a correlation between not being able to adequately dry off inner garbs while moving from flood areas, or staying in those areas, leading to more yeast infections which increases susceptibility to STDs.
People commonly believe that having sex will cause women to develop a yeast infection, but this is not the case. Women that are not having sex can still develop a yeast infection. In most cases a yeast infection occurs when the immune system is weak. Those that are overworked or tired can have a higher risk for developing a yeast infection. If you have just recovered from being ill or using antibiotics may also be susceptible to developing a yeast infection. Those that do not eat a proper diet, suffer from diabetes or are pregnant can also have an increased risk
A yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted disease in spite of the symptoms being relatively similar. However, if you have been scratching the vagina due to the itchiness associated with yeast infections you may have left small cuts on the skin that increase your risk of developing an STD.
Also, one report about flooding and stds around one lake does not good science make.
I made it quite clear that if EITHER doesn't want to have kids, it is each individuals responsibility to take the necessary precautions. Only a fool would assume that the other person is telling the truth when they said they had a vasectomy or were on the pill. Get a clue.
Same as the rest of your post is also garbage and lies.
Obviously it's not "more than enough to combat wildfires in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere - the presence of higher levels of CO2 during forest fires doesn't make them self-extinguishing even today, with a lower concentration of 02. Fires return CO2 to the atmosphere, keeping CO2 levels higher than they otherwise would be, same as burning any other carbon does.
ASHRAE and OSHA standards: 1000 ppm
general drowsiness: 1000 - 2500 ppm
adverse health effects expected: 2500 - 5000 ppm
2500 ppm is less than 10x today's CO2 content.
sea-level air has a partial pressure of oxygen of 0.21 bar (21 kPa) and the lower limit for toxicity is more than 0.3 bar (30 kPa)
With a 35% O2 concentration, that's 35 kpa, which is above the lower limit of toxicity.
I never said that, asshole. I said that if a man doesn't want kids, he has to take precautions, same as the woman. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Never said anyone couldn't sleep with anyone else, except kids and people who don't want to sleep with them. However, your attitude that it's the woman who should bear all the responsibility is misogynistic. That you don;t see it just means that you're an asshole.
Too bad we can't survive in an atmosphere of 35% oxygen and 6 to 10 times more CO2. So the distant past is irrelevant - we live in a different environment. Change it too much, we will suffer the same fate as the dinosaurs.
Fuck you, troll. I also said that women have control of their body and their choices. Grow up (oops - too late). The courts will say it's both your responsibilities, so both of you pay, and that's how it should be.
And yes, if she didn't want this to happen, she could have told you to go screw yourself instead of sleeping with you. Or just demonstrated better taste in men.
It's las vegas. Everyone there believes they can beat the odds. Come on, try the suchi. What are the odds you'll get sick? Are you chicken, Colonel Sanders?
Bullshit. You are responsible.for your sperm. If you don't want kids, it is only your responsibility because it your body. Same with women, it is their body, their choices, if she doesn't
Why should someone else be responsible for your fertility? Also, if you can't control yourself, go fap yourself looking at porn. Problem solved. Or get ready to pay child support for the next couple of decades. Your decision. A woman isn't just a bucket for your cum. You sound like a horny teenager. Grow up, because right now you don't need to worry about birth control - your personality is more than sufficient.
A bit rich coming from a typical SJW who hides in the flock of outraged people who aren't even concerned by the legal matter.
Really? That's the best you can do? You can't defend your fascist position, so now you accuse me of being an SJW? You don't know who or what you'r talking about.
Much of the world is watching this case, because of the incredible "argument from fear" that is, again, being raised to circumvent the constitution and people's rights. The FBI and NY police have already admitted they lied when they said it was "just one phone" - that they had over 1,000 phones they wanted to crack. Americans are looking more like scared chickensh*ts every day. "Terrorists terrorists think of the children and screw your civil rights!"
There are plenty of good honest people who pay extra so that they don't have to pass through an American airport because of your useless security theatre and the arbitrary nature and total screw-up of the no-fly list.
Sandefur’s son, Larry Daniel Kaufman, was among the 14 people killed at the Inland Regional Center on Dec. 2 as a husband and wife sprayed an office holiday party with gunfire during a terror attack.
On Thursday, Sandefur weighed in on the dispute between technology companies and law enforcement. In a letter released by an attorney representing several relatives of victims, Sandefur wrote that Apple should help FBI agents trying to access encrypted data on an iPhone 5c belonging to one of the San Bernardino shooters, Syed Rizwan Farook.
But of course you're "more right" than them since you have no personal interest whatsoever in this case, you're just clamouring for the principle of the matter, which is obviously always the right answer.
Because someone wants something doesn't mean they have a legal right to get it. So, you're still a fascist willing to override legal rights.
And yes, as someone with no personal interest whatsoever in this case (not even my country) I can afford to stand up for the "principle of the matter." And what's so bad about standing up for the principle of the matter? At least I HAVE principles, and I believe they're worth standing up for, unlike you, where it's all about "expediency" or "convienience" or "mob rule" rather than the rule of law - in other words, fascist bullsh*t. If you don't stand up for your principles, you don't have principles.
A mother whose son was killed in the San Bernardino, California, shooting last year is siding with Apple in its battle to protect consumer’s privacy rights by refusing the FBI’s demands for new software to break into the iPhone of her son’s killer.
Carole Adams, the mother of Robert Adams — a 40-year-old environmental health specialist who was shot dead by Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife in December - told the New York Post Thursday that the constitutional right to privacy “is what makes America great to begin with.”
She stood by Apple’s decision to fight a federal court order to create software that would allow federal authorities to access the shooter’s password-blocked iPhone. The software would allow authorities to retrieve personal banking passwords, photos and other information.
If you hate the constitution and the rule of law so much, why aren't you living in some place that hasn't got either?
1) Chinese laws are different from American laws.
2) No proof whatsoever that Apple has built such software for the Chinese
3) All the evidence to date indicates you are still a fascist right-wing troll.
Looky looky - right wing troll who thinks that the court appeal process should be bypassed because safety is more important than the constitution, so we can do whatever we want even when there is zero evidence of a threat in the phone, as opposed to the 2 phones the killers destroyed. Yep - put on your jack boots, fascist.

This is the real original one, courtesy of George Barris. Everything before was just drawings.
And the US doesn't have serious problems? China is expecting growth of "only" 6.7% this year. Most of the world would kill to have that much growth.
Why would they want to risk liability for accidents and deaths? After all, if they licensed the design, how are they not partially liable?
