Right?? We all know next time, he won’t stop at “almost” dead.

There’s no great way to know if you’ve strangled someone to death, or if they’ll regain consciousness. He’s not a murderer solely because of the resourcefulness of the nerves governing her diaphragm. Functionally, there’s no reason to think he’s any less murderous than if she had died, especially since he showed no…

I was scrolling through, hoping someone else caught this. “he needed her to believe she was going to die so that he could be sexually fulfilled” is A THOUSAND PERCENT some serial killer shit. There’s no way this guy doesn’t escalate to actual murder very soon.  

And that reflection will lead him to....don’t leave them alive. Can we please start up some kind of campaign to remove this judge and and DA and get this guy retried based on them (is that still double jeopardy)? 

Guys getting slapped on the wrist for rape is horrifying. This is beyond that. I am not a FBI profiler or anything, but isn’t he basically at stage 1 of becoming a serial killer?

Yes, she was.

jfc I feel so bad for the victim in this. Not only was she assaulted, humiliated, and made to believe she was going to die but then the legal system basically goes ‘lol it’s no biggie he seems like a good guy’.

SO WEIRD! I’ve ALSO taken the last year to work on myself and become a better person, parent and partner. It’s mostly involved a plant-based diet to get my cholesterol numbers down and reading a lot of books on parenting because my 8-year-old’s mood swings confound my husband and I at times. I actually haven’t had to…

Imagine being in your 50s and behaving like you’re still in 8th grade. That’s some creepy shit.

It’s astonishing in how many ways patriarchal society lets women and children down; boys are moulded into monsters and their violent behaviour is normalised, while girls are made responsible for policing both themselves and their male peers, continuing into an adulthood where men cannot possibly conceives that a woman…

This bodes well for the kind of clarity we can expect if he gets to write the majority opinion on rulings.

to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago

No one was hornier than I was in high school and like Kavanaugh I went to an all male prep school.

This “these accusations could happen to any man” business almost makes me wistful for the old days of #NotAllMen.

i’ll let you know when it happens...

Some works of film or literature are so obviously exceptional that they are called “instant classics”; we need a similar term to apply to pissing contest entries.

there actually is more to this, and its actually way worse, though really, mostly for me, and its related to the timeline.

at a previous job, god, i cannot believe i’m saying this, a coworker asked me to help clean up her home computer because it had run out of space and she had no idea how that could be. since i knew she had a son, i had an inkling of what might be taking up all that space. and while i fully expected to find many large…
