Except for the implied caveat that such strictures only really apply to women and queers
I, for one, wish the Republicans well as they move from “abortion is wrong” through “IVF is wrong” and straight to the jackpot of “sex for fun is wrong”

Heterosexual society does not want queerness to be a choice for everyone. It is a coercive, violent, conformist regime that will target your ability to live outside of heterosexual strictures no matter what rationale you provide.
That's not because of queers. It's because of patriarchy.

Some raised eyebrows in Good Morning Britain and This Morning today about my shorts. Yet I think it's important to show that uniform strictures when it's 32 degrees need to be relaxed. So I'm getting my knees out for the cause.

People will tell you it’s not bigotry per se, it’s about particular strictures and methods of conduct, etc., that’s bullshit too.
The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute.

I'm not saying something that people don't already know. But it's worth making the issue explicit. We have an elaborate jurisprudence of probable cause, rooted in explicit strictures in the constitution that places big limits on what police can do to you. Those limits may be honored in the breach...

this is also why, depending on what you actually want to do, you sometimes will find working on a listed building much easier than working in a conservation area. they do in fact have different theories and strictures.

and anakin's turn against the jedi flows downstream of that desire for mastery stemming from hurt and trauma. he begins to see the jedi — with their rules and strictures — as a kind of existential threat. (i also think anakin should be a total true believer in the republic and its promise of order)

Complaining about HR is also how capitalist would-be tyrants who resent the strictures of bureaucratic shareholder capitalism launder their class interests into something resembling populism. It's not about being pro-worker, it's about giving men like Elon Musk total control over their companies.
I do find it funny how many people basically mean “woman in position of power” when they complain about HR.
