A while ago, I learned that libertarians consider sex offender lists to be invasions of privacy. To a certain extent, I think I agree, and I’ll return to that in a moment. First, I’d like to consider why I would disagree. As a woman, I am statistically more likely to be a victim of some … More Is a Sex Offender List an Invasion of Privacy?
My family is very concerned that my boyfriend is abusing me. Their reasoning is mainly that I don’t keep as close contact with family anymore, I’m supporting him financially, and I met him before I’d stopped believing Catholicism so it must be his fault. Of course, I don’t keep as close contact as I used to … More On Abuse and Christianity
I stumbled upon this article of 10 ways you are being unfaithful to your spouse — and you don’t even know it, and it is so terrible based on the headings alone that I was compelled to respond. First, though, check out this phrasing from the intro: “Unfaithfulness usually creeps in through the back door”.

If you have been told that vaccines cause autism, you are being lied to. Even if they did, since when is autism a fate worse than death?

Nothing in official Catholic teaching forbids Catholics from accepting that cats and dogs and turtles all evolved from fish. Indeed, nothing in Church teaching forbids Catholics from believing that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors. What is forbidden … More Catholicism and Evolution
One of the things I do when I find an article I think I could write a blog post about is leave that tab open on my computer. This habit helps me to remember to write about that thing, but unfortunately, I have so many tabs open and so little time I can devote to … More Matt Walsh on Sex and Transgenderism
I’ve posted before about my views on abortion, and responded to an argument against the act. All month, I’ve been trying to tackle a much harder section of the topic: late term abortions. While I think Matt Walsh is full of shit, I really sympathize with his views on this subject. I do think late … More Third Trimester Abortion
Because I would apparently rather hold baby mice than blog, I have two links about white privilege today rather than something original or at least about the topic of the blog as a whole. To be fair, the mice babies are much cuter than my faceless readers. The first is by a white female in a … More Racism
