I'm kind of surprised there are any incidents of sexual misconduct in the women's bathroom by trans women, it seems like a very specific and limited scenario to me.

It's very easy for numbers to be greater than zero. I can also imagine actual run-of-the-mill creeps going into restrooms and then telling the judge "uhhhh... [retrieving data, please wait...] I'm trans? That gets me off the hook right?" and that would probably get counted in the statistics, if there's more than zero cases on the books.

As has been previously pointed out, trans women being sexually assaulted if forced to use the men's room is far more common and likely result of these laws. Not that the people pushing for these laws actually give a poo poo. As with most of these kinds of morality laws it's about enforcing cultural norms even at the expense of protecting people.

there wolf posted:... Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars is where a lot of the wilder stories come from, especially about Julius Caesar ' clan, and Suetonius definitely had a bias towards the Senate and Republican rule in general so he had a bias towards making the Caesars look bug-loving insane... I think it speaks volumes about a culture that for propaganda purposes (pro or con) an author would choose to make up that Tiberius kept suckling infants in the swimming pool at his country villa to administer on-demand blow-jobs. Reading that and then watching the I CLAVDIVS version of Tiberius mope and whine to his mother than nobody likes him for 20 episodes... that's next level multimedia political cartooning (my first ever post. pardon me....)

Vincent Villano, the director of communications for the National Center for Transgender Equality, told Mic in an email that there isn't any firm data to corroborate these lawmakers' claims, and that NCTE has "not heard of a single instance of a transgender person harassing a non-transgender person in a public restroom. Those who claim otherwise have no evidence that this is true and use this notion to prey on the public's stereotypes and fears about transgender people."

achillesforever6 posted:Actually Christians were never fed to the lions during Nero's reign, in fact Nero was quite popular and has only been vilified by history because of rich Roman aristocrats loving hate people who are popular with the plebs. Nero was popular among the general public in the early part of his reign because he was obsessed with popularity and spent money in the Roman treasury lavishly and cut taxes. The aristocracy, thus, grew to loathe Nero partly because he was rapidly depleting the wealth and resources that Claudius had saved during his reign. They were aware that Rome didn't have infinite money and, as they had learned with Caligula, that eventually someone would need to pay the bill. Nero's reputation among the nobles wasn't helped by his terrible acting and gladiatorial career, his matricide, his fratricide, or that he repossessed prime real estate in the heart of Rome to build a massive palace for himself. There's been recent scholarship that's questioned how bad these policies were in the long-term by pointing out the potential value of public works projects for employment, but there's hardly a consensus on the matter. Nero probably did not throw the Christians to the lions, but he did use them as a convenient scapegoat after the Great Fire of Rome in 64 CE. Tacitus, who would have no reason to sympathize with the Christian minorities of Rome, reports that Nero had: quote:an immense multitude convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind. Mockery of every sort was added to their deaths. Covered with the skins of beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or were nailed to crosses, or were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired. Nero offered his gardens for the spectacle, and was exhibiting a show in the circus, while he mingled with the people in the dress of a charioteer or stood aloft on a car. Hence, even for criminals who deserved extreme and exemplary punishment, there arose a feeling of compassion; for it was not, as it seemed, for the public good, but to glut one man's cruelty, that they were being destroyed. There's a reason that the Antichrist in the Book of Revelation is commonly seen as a coded reference to Nero. QuoProQuid fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Nov 7, 2015 |

Well someone in our modern era did probably invent a story about the British prime minister loving a pig's head. And the entire child sex scandal which has true parts and exaggerations and accusations flying all over so it's hard to know what's going on... Ridiculous stories of sex and violence are what people remember regardless of whether they are true.

That was one of the weirdest moments in my life. I'm in Dallas for business, it's late at night, and I'm wandering around aimlessly looking for interesting things and all of a sudden poo poo starts looking familiar and, being in an intuitive sort of mood, I follow the feeling until I realize that oh gently caress. I'm standing within ten feet of that spot. I had no idea why I knew the area till it all hit me at once.
