Remember: spousal arguments are never really about what you’re arguing about. People nearby would have heard them fussing at each other about a joint selfie, but the _real_ argument was about whether or not she wanted to be killed just then. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > Remember: spousal arguments are never really about what you’re arguing about. In all seriousness, I think the selfie argument was just the trigger for something that had been brewing for a long time, and given the location he saw an opportunity. But either way, definitely evil. And I don’t know what it is about his face, but I see him and think, yeah that’s a guy that would bash his wife’s head in with a rock over something petty. ---

I agree. I was making a serious point using a humorous lead. That guy wanted her dead for a long time. Cliffs seem to awaken the sudden “Wow, here’s a way to make it look like a tragic accident” thought in a lot of douchy douchebags. That thought is a lot wronger than most of them realize. Next thing they know, they’ve failed in the attempt and now they’re the ones on the hook for attempted murder. Sux to be you Mr. Douchy McDoucheface. ---

A very tall woman who works at Walmart was assaulted in the bathroom by a man who rushed in and falsely accused her of being a man in drag. Walmart responded by firing her for not reporting the assault fast enough. > **[6'4 cis woman says Walmart fired her after customer 'accused' her of being trans](https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/03/27/cis-woman-fired-after-customer-accused-her-of-being-trans-says-it-felt-like-a-stab-in-the-back/)** > > A cisgender woman who says she was fired from Walmart after a customer “accused” her of being trans says the situation is “heartbreaking”. ---

Being fired from Walmart ought to be a badge of pride that results in instant job offers from better employers. Ought. YRMV. Your reality may vary. ---

That it seems to be ok for some random dude to storm the women’s bathroom based on penile dementia is what I find particularly troubling about that story. ---

It rings true to me. “You told an hourly manager instead of a salaried manager, so we’re terming you for failing to report a security risk” is exactly the kind of boneheaded CYA move a company like Walmart would come up with to avoid actually addressing the fact that the trans bathroom panic has actually caused the behavior it ostensibly seeks to prevent, I.e. cis men entering women’s restrooms and assaulting cis women. ---
