I guess we know what Republican men don't do ...

And contrary to the notion that pornography fuels misogyny, men who viewed porn tended to hold more egalitarian views about women than did non-porn-using men. Frequent porn users view powerful women, working women and women who have had abortions more favorably than do other men, a study published in August in the Journal of Sex Research found.

[url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2015/10/13/jennifer-lawrence-has-a-point-famous-quotes-the-way-a-woman-would-have-to-say-them-during-a-meeting/]Famous quotes, the way a woman would have to say them during a meeting.[/quote]

“Woman in a Meeting” is a language of its own.

It should not be, but it is. You will think that you have stated the case simply and effectively, and everyone else will wonder why you were so Terrifyingly Angry. Instead, you have to translate. You start with your thought, then you figure out how to say it as though you were offering a groveling apology for an unspecified error. (In fact, as Sloane Crosley pointed out in an essay earlier this year, the time you are most likely to say “I’m sorry” is the time when you feel that you, personally, have just been grievously wronged. Not vice versa.)

To illustrate this difficulty, I have taken the liberty of translating some famous sentences into the phrases a woman would have to use to say them during a meeting not to be perceived as angry, threatening or (gasp!) bitchy.

“Give me liberty, or give me death.”
Woman in a Meeting: “Dave, if I could, I could just — I just really feel like if we had liberty it would be terrific, and the alternative would just be awful, you know? That’s just how it strikes me. I don’t know.”

“I have a dream today!”
Woman in a Meeting: “I’m sorry, I just had this idea — it’s probably crazy, but — look, just as long as we’re throwing things out here — I had sort of an idea or vision about maybe the future?”

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”
Woman in a Meeting: “I’m sorry, Mikhail, if I could? Didn’t mean to cut you off there. Can we agree that this wall maybe isn’t quite doing what it should be doing? Just looking at everything everyone’s been saying, it seems like we could consider removing it. Possibly. I don’t know, what does the room feel?”

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
Woman in a Meeting: “I have to say — I’m sorry — I have to say this. I don’t think we should be as scared of non-fear things as maybe we are? If that makes sense? Sorry, I feel like I’m rambling.”

“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.”
Woman in a Meeting: “I’m not an expert, Dave, but I feel like maybe you could accomplish more by maybe shifting your focus from asking things from the government and instead looking at things that we can all do ourselves? Just a thought. Just a thought. Take it for what it’s worth.”

“Let my people go.”
Woman in a Meeting: “Pharaoh, listen, I totally hear where you’re coming from on this. I totally do. And I don’t want to butt in if you’ve come to a decision here, but, just, I have to say, would you consider that an argument for maybe releasing these people could conceivably have merit? Or is that already off the table?”

“I came. I saw. I conquered.”
Woman in a Meeting: “I don’t want to toot my own horn here at all but I definitely have been to those places and was just honored to be a part of it as our team did such a wonderful job of conquering them.”

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
Woman in a Meeting: “I’m sorry, it really feels to me like we’re all equal, you know? I just feel really strongly on this.”

“I have not yet begun to fight.”
Woman in a Meeting: “Dave, I’m not going to fight you on this.”

“I will be heard.”
Woman in a Meeting: “Sorry to interrupt. No, go on, Dave. Finish what you had to say.”


I've been feeling like this a lot lately at my new job. I swear when I start talking about fixing the IT environment, I have to apologize for speaking up, and I get so many dirty looks like I'm crazy for, I don't know... actually knowing what I'm talking about.

The mind has a biologically defined job to perform. That definition does not recognize race, creed, color, weight, or religion, etc. It is simply a biological fact.

Like every life support system which abstracts from the environment, it is required to make a product which maintains and promotes life.

The mind is wholly linguistic by function. Teach it to do its own work is all one can do. One cannot change the fact that someone is a mental midget. Currently mankind is proto-linguistic, which means mankind is factually not yet sapient.

http://www.reuters.com/article/usa-islamic-state-sexslaves-idUSKBN0UC0DZ20151229
Islamic State theologians have issued an extremely detailed ruling on when "owners" of women enslaved by the extremist group can have sex with them, in an apparent bid to curb what they called violations in the treatment of captured females.

The ruling or fatwa has the force of law and appears to go beyond the Islamic State's previous known utterances on slavery, a leading Islamic State scholar said. It sheds new light on how the group is trying to reinterpret centuries-old teachings to justify the rape of women in the swaths of Syria and Iraq it controls.

Bill Cosby charged over 2004 sexual assault allegation


If he's found guilty hope they send him down and the "rule 45" gets jugged at the very least !!
But the courts have got to find him guilty first .

I don't know how the legal system in the States works but know how the British system does , he should just think himself lucky he had $1,000,000 for bail or he would be on remand and he would be "targeted" and even the screws turn a "blind eye" to what happens to people on a charge like that don't matter if you're guilty or not ( more famous = bigger target) . You are "marked" (and serves em right in my view they are the lowest of the low and don't deserve to live !!)

Mr. Cosby may have shot his lawyer in the foot. As he has now filed lawsuits against his accusers, they get to depose him and because he is the plaintiff he won't have a fifth amendment right against self incrimination. The criminal prosecutor is going to have a field day with all the material. Oh he could invoke, but then he looses his suit by default and essentially hands the accuser a victory in their suit.

As to who testifies in the criminal case, it will be the victim and everyone else mentioned in any of Mr. Cosby's sworn depositions. They won't allow a bigger fishing expedition just yet. Now if he also gets indicted in Los Angeles and he has been convicted in the first trial, then everyone will be testifying as there will be a "pattern" established.

Might have to put him in SHU at Pelican Bay to keep him alive.

'Presumption of Innocence' and 'Guilty Beyond a Reasonable Doubt'.

Are the Legal Standards. Which must be used by Jurors, in a Criminal Case.

It doesn't apply to Community Standards, nor Community Thinking.


Thanks Clyde think i knew that much about your legal system , ment like we have magistrate's courts for some crimes , but more serious or by if you want to plead innocent you the case is dealt with by the crown court . And from what I can work out in the American judicial system there's loads of backroom deals sorted out ( probably depends what solicitors / barrister you can afford )

One problem. The Rapist is 78 years old.

With all the Pre-Trial Hearings, Discovery, Depositions, the Trial itself, and Numerous Appeals, if The Rapist is Found Guilty.

He may Die of Old Age, prior to any Incarceration.


I 4t with you being a Retired policeman or someone who worked in law enforcement that would be "alleged rapist" since he hasn't been found guilty yet only charged from what the news says in the UK (BBC , ITN and Channel 4 all give the same story ).
Won't go to "deep" coz I think people who do this sort of thing shouldn't be locked away , they should be " put down " they are sick and the lowest of the low . But they deserve to be put on trial by their peers first

The word 'Alleged' is rarely used.

What?
Reading the news that word is probably the most common word.

You only need to come up with 10% to make bond.

Whatever Mr. Cosby is guilty of, I should hope death is not the way we treat these serial offenders. If he is guilty, he deserves to have justice served up to him, but death should not be it.

Which you don't get back. However if you come up with the full amount, you get it back. I'm rather sure he has a house worth at least that.

Yes!

Judge rules against Cosby, criminal trial will proceed

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — The criminal sexual-assault charges against Bill Cosby here will stand and will proceed to trial, a judge ruled Wednesday, after a two-day hearing

Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill had said he would rule earlier on Wednesday, but he decided after the lunch break he wanted to hear more testimony from Cosby's prosecutors, who are trying to persuade O'Neill not to toss the criminal charges against Cosby.

I'm sure with his $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ his mouthpieces will get an order to delay while they appeal which they hope will take longer than he has left before his one way ticket to a warm place.

Assange and UNWGAD even have the nerve to call his hiding in Equador's embassy for "arbitrarily detained" and should get compensation.
