🤦🏻‍♀️ “NY’s highest court on Thur overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 conviction on felony sex crime charges, a stunning reversal in the foundational case of the #MeToo era.

In 4-3 decision, NY Court of Appeals found trial judge who presided over Weinstein’s case made a crucial mistake, allowing prosecutors to call as witnesses a series of women who said Mr. Weinstein had assaulted them — but whose accusations were not part of the charges against him.”

Republicans' take on gender is "you can't force your beliefs on me! I get to define what gender is for myself!"

Then what is this?

HB111: The Alabama GOP forcing their beliefs of what "male" and "female" is on others

I guess you want to teach your children up what gender is before you force them to give birth then send them to work a double

    @GottaLaff this sounds an awful lot like she shutdown due to her past trauma, which means she didn’t clearly say yes either, making this problematic from a consent perspective.

    DavidNielsen ,
    @DavidNielsen@mastodon.social avatar

    @GottaLaff I hesitate to actively call it rape, since she, herself, denies this being the case and I believe she is the best judge of the situation, as well as her own limits, but if she had not explicitly made that statement, then I would have considered it as such by default.

    It pains me not to do so though, since Trump has been convicted of rape. It is in his nature and he is an imposing man, who can, and has in the past, easily exploited his position to satisfy his sexual urges.

    @GottaLaff @MarkBrigham indeed, however importantly for libel purposes, he can be referred to as a rapist without being successful sued. He is unlikely to face a criminal trial, due to the statute of limitation.

    However Biden could call him that in ads, social media posts, town halls and debates. As could anyone running against candidates endorsed by him… and they should, often.

    How long are you contagious with COVID-19?

    Here's what the science says:
    ➡️ Most people are infectious for ~10 days
    ➡️ ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset
    ➡️ Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever
    ➡️ Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness
    ➡️ Individuals can be infectious before the onset of symptoms
    ➡️ Asymptomatic cases represent around 20 to 40% of all infections

    How long are you contagious with COVID-19? Studies suggest: ➡️ Most people are infectious for ~10 days ➡️ ~80% of people test positive for 5 days after symptom onset ➡️ Only ~30% of people who test positive have a fever ➡️ Presence of symptoms is an unreliable indicator of infectiousness ➡️ Individuals can be infectious before the onset of symptoms ➡️ Asymptomatic cases represent around 20 to 40% of all infections
