FUD attack against Mueller

Believing women

mardi 12 décembre 2017 à 01:00

Right-wing fanatics are trying to sabotage public awareness of sexual harassment and rape by exaggerating and faking accusations.

They are also doing this by insisting that only Democrats should resign in response to such accusations, while Republicans ignore them.

The article explains that "believe women" does not mean women's accusations cannot be false or that we should rush to judgment of those accused. It means, rather, that we should take women's accusations seriously, not dismiss them out of hand as has so often been done.

I support that principle wholeheartedly.

A debate about hostile architecture: designing buildings and outdoor objects to prevent some uses of them.

I think the crucial questions are, which people is it hostile to? And is it justifiable to mistreat those people? The purported justification offered here seems to be, "We were obeying orders from the organization that paid for the project." This gives carte blanche to screwing homeless people if a local government or landowner decides to.

If you don't want homeless people to sleep in your doorway, how about making some other place for them to lie down, where it won't get in your way.
