It wasn't until 1993 that marital rape was recognized as a crime in US; before then if a wife showed up ripped and bleeding it was just rough sex or "he got carried away."

New in PN: Scenes from a personality cult "The ads are unambiguously illegal — & that’s the point. Again & again, this regime has broken the law not just to accomplish some immediate goal, but as a dominance display to say to everyone: Donald Trump does whatever he wants, & nobody can stop him."

Trump’s taxpayer-funded agitprop is clearly illegal — and that’s the point.

Medicalizing the state murder of citizens was a terrible move that has desensitized most people to exactly what the death penalty is.

For one, it's not an accurate predictor of actual athletic advantage - a Y chromosome doesn't actually mean anything. And, perhaps more importantly, numerous female athletes were revealed to be intersex, causing them to have identity crises.
