Oh, gross. I didn't know about that. "Didn't know her age" initially, then found out, then had sex again anyways, then wrote a song about it that the RHCP played for decades.
Any "separate the art from the artist" argument falls apart when the pedo artist's art is about the crime.
Yeah, I like to eat them occasionally. I recently bought a little snack pack of them to eat on a plane trip. I ended up not eating them bc the lady next to me politely asked me not to due to her sensitivity to the smell and already growing motion sickness.
So curious about the olive-dislikers in this thread:
The main drag didn't grow with the population, so traffic to get across the city is 10x worse.
A gay bar shut down for normal, boring business reasons and not because it was hate-crimed like the gay bar that closed when I was a child.
An attempt was made to make a pedestrian-friendly Entertainment District downtown. They forgot to make any changes to actually encourage and protect pedestrians though. Lots of cute little shops and restaurants packed in an area no one wants to walk through.
Fiber! And laid by the city so no one company can claim it to form a new monopoly. We have not one but competing fiber providers!
The football team is still massively popular, despite the golden years being 20+ years ago. So the change is maybe increased desperation intertwined with the neverending optimism that a new golden area is just a season or two out.
Treat other women / talk about other women like you want her to be treated / talked about by men.
Respecting and partnering with your spouse teaches your daughter a model of respectful partner she can look for as an adult.
Seeing how you treat other women, friends, strangers, service workers, teaches her how she should expect to be treated by men.
Seeing how you treat other boys and men also teaches her a model to set her expectations around. If you treat boys and men similar to how you treat girls and women, she sees that and grows up knowing she deserves equal respect. If you treat boys/men differently, specially, with more respect, your daughter will grow up and expect to be treated as secondary by other men.
If you see men mistreating women, you don't have to confront them necessarily, but make sure your daughter knows what they are doing is not ok. Sometimes the world isn't fair, but it's still wrong and we want to be people who make the world a better place.
The company I work for installed a gender-neutral bathroom, but in a weird location, down a long hall no one really has any reason to go down other than to get to this bathroom. There were initially grumblings from certain men on the shop floor about "wokeness". Then they discovered that the privacy offered by this gender-neutral bathroom was available to them too. Now it is the go-to spot for dudes to take the foulest of dumps discreetly.
Everyone deserves a quiet bathroom and a shit so thorough it drains all tension from one's body. I'm sure this is what MLK really had in mind when he talked about his dream.
