I hate when people argue that what actually happened doesn't matter because something that didn't actually happen might inspire a different response.
Such drama.
Actually, if you follow this story on NZ news and especially read the online comments sections on TV3 you will see an overwhelming amount of slut-shaming, victim-blaming and "boys will be boys" bullshit going on. Add to this what John Key, the leader of the country, said about this whole thing ("boys will be boys,"…
My mother's the same age you are - a bit older, actually, as she was getting out of college in the 80s.
If we ever needed a better example that "rape isn't about sex, it's about power" - this can be Exhibit A.
Well, unfortunately, this does not surprise me. Many people think that attitudes towards sexual assault victims are backward in the US. But having spent a considerable part of my life in New Zealand and Australia, my opinion is that things could be much worse.
The first rule of rape club is, you're a terrible fucking human being for being in rape club.

Ha! It is every bit my right and so is bothering you now that I know you are prejudice against other people's sexual preferences. How does it feel to be so close minded?
no it was totally out of left field and made no sense. I don't even know why she said it, if she wasn't going to address it and clearly isn't actually sorry.
I don't get the "people were hurt" part. Am I dense? Did I not read something that explains it (I skimmed it)?
Seriously, the whole time I was reading this I was like, "you let James Deen fuck you on camera for free? Sucker!"
Cons: This could have been an interesting article that ended up boring as fuck.
I wonder if you knew that women can consent to be slapped and choked because they think it's kinky and hot?
You also skipped the part in your description where you obviously cared enough to come write a comment calling Deen a douche. There's nothing wrong with caring, but writing a comment about how much you didn't…
Is "I'm all sex positive and all, but..." the new "I'm not a racist, but..."? Cause if not, you just made it happen.
I hope she is better at porn or stand-up, 'cause at writing, not-so-much.
I think you're supposed to follow her on Twitter.
The Controversial Indian Jew sounds like McSweeney's short story I want to read.
