Unfortunately, what they actually meant was just that he has revealed himself to be unfit for the presidency, not that he’s actually done anything that legally bars him from the position.
Also, I’d just like to remind everyone of the amendment to Godwin’s Law stating that it doesn’t apply when the comparisons to Hitler are actually legit.
Remember a while ago I talked about the “bitchin’ metal hurdy-gurdy solo” that Nicolas Boulerice did at a Le Vent du Nord show in Victoria? And I talked to him after the show and found out that he had in fact been in a metal band before going onto Quebecois trad music?
Let me talk to you about books. Specifically, one book. This book. This book deals with debunking “Neurosexism,” which is a very fancy term for all of that evolutionary psychology bullshit that people spill about those “brain differences” between boys and girls. This book debunks such myths as:
Boys are better at math than girls
Women make crappy lawyers/business CEOs/etc, as their brains are not cut out for aggression.
Men make crappy counselors/primary school teachers/primary parents/etc, as their brains are not cut out for empathy.
MEN ARE BUILT FOR GOING OUT AND HUNTING WHILE WOMEN ARE BUILT FOR STAYING HOME AND BABYMAKING IT’S NOT SEXISM IT’S JUST BIOLOGY
And many other such myths.
Neurosexism and gender perceptions in multiple races (as this is not a singularly white experience, just as the western world isn’t a singularly white experience)
Sex discrimination in the workplace, and how women are (or, more often, are not) allowed to behave
How science is used (badly) to support many of these claims
Experiences of trans* people, both through interviews and empirical studies.
Furthermore, this book covers topics such as: AND FINALLY – It is all brilliantly researched, cited, compiled – and it’s easy to read! Cordelia Fine actually manages to be funny while writing this, which I think is important, because it makes all of this information infinitely accessible.
Here’s a PDF for those that cannot afford it/are frightened to buy it.
I spent much of the day feeling pretty f’kin low, because our car which is probably worth about 3-3.5k now it’s cleaned and shiny is not selling. Apparently Xmas is a terrible time of year to sell a car. Of course, the reason we’re trying to sell at Xmas is because our solicitors and the other solicitors were so painfully slow.
But after an e-bay auction with one solitary bid from a f’kin idiot who wanted to, but couldn’t retract his bid. Apart from that. No one.
So non-paying bidder aside we’ve had multiple people offer then not follow up with actually turning up.
Which is very, very stressful. And upsetting, because I’d kinda counted that money into the pot of ‘money we’ll have at some point’.
Also, I spent the entire afternoon washing tools in Jeyes Fluid in the hopes that customs will not be pissed at us for bringing diseases in. Everything should be dead now.
To make matters worse, that number is a severe undercount because it only represents those officers whose license was revoked, and not all states took that action.
AND, on top of that, 9 states and the District Columbia said they either did not punish officers for misconduct or decline to provide any information.
