Exactly what Adultosaur just said. It is because of people like you that rape goes unpunished. I was sexually assaulted by a priest. I came back to church after it because I told myself that since I did not say no (because I was a teenager and in fucking shock!!!) he did not know that I did not want it and it was my…

are YOU joking? maybe she's internalized all the shit she's been taught, that maybe she was asking for it, that she owed it to him, that maybe it was just some rough sex. that rape only happens in a dark alley by a scaaaaary black man, not by a youtube celebrity who she was on some kind of date with.

no, you have some common fucking sense, you ignorant asshole. do you know how many women suffer through rape and, because it wasn't violent stranger rape, assume what happened wasn't, in fact, rape? as a defense mechanism for what just happened to them.

Here's the thing about that: Sharia in most of the Ottoman empire was a common law system, which was far more flexible than the "Sharia" these groups perpetuate. The British colonials did not like the common law version of sharia, because it was nuanced and thus kind of difficult for them to wrap their heads around,…

That scene in the Internet cafe is terrifying.

I'd love to read an alternate history of the Middle East if the colonial imperialist expansion had never happened. So much of the fate of this area seems to have been set in 1918. What if Britain and France had not randomly drawn lines in the sand, creating countries out of disparate ethnic/cultural groups? What if…

Something something eugenics were practiced here long before and long after Hitler something?

Except his bf is cool with it, which makes all the difference.

This is a completely understandable response for me! I get VERY upset about the destruction of historical artifacts in action and adventure movies, for example. So much so that it distracts from my enjoyment of the action.

He does! After seeing the movie he still came to my friend's party the same night and watched me tell jokes.

But it was more gross because she was impolite and inconsiderate. You can't go around a hospital spilling blood everywhere. That is unsanitary and not good for the other patients.

You're exactly right. Almost everything we buy comes with a side of exploitation. And nothing ever changes because none of us are actually willing to sacrifice our livelihoods of relative comfort.

When my daughter was four she asked what her "front butt" was called. And I told her that it was her labia. And she said, "LABIA?!!? THAT'S a STUPID name! I'm gunna call it HOT LAVA instead." After I died from trying to choke back the laughter, I reminded her we don't say stupid.

I have never commented on a jez article so this is weird and scary to me. But I had to bc I have an idea: whenever you need to educate your daughter on something that you (sadly, rightly) believe will be reported to CPS, go to her doctor first. Not to get them to explain it for you, but to get them to say, "Yes, it…

You are not speaking as a scientist. You're speaking as a North American.

Probably goes back to the aftermath of the Civil War, when slaves went from being property to burdens and threats in the eyes of white people. Any black person was considered a problem, only the word of a white person could change the status to "one of the good ones", thus sparing them the harsh treatment the ordinary…

Jezebel posted photos of a woman being raped and linked to leaked photos of Brett Favres' penis. They never apologized for that and didn't return any of the money. The rape pictures are probably worse than what Reddit did in my opinion.

I forgot about that one. Jezebel actually posted pictures of a woman being raped. After being roundly criticized for victimizing the poor woman a second time they pixelated the images, but at least looking at it now I don't see any apology from them and I'm sure they didn't return or donate any of the ad money they…

I was at the site soon after they posted and never saw a link. I did just look back at the post and Isha did provide a link. But to be fair....it was removed in less than 5 minutes of publication and it only took 2 people to mention the hypocrisy. It shouldn't have been done in the first place but by no means is it…

Did Gawker Media return the pageview money for that Hulk Hogan sex tape? Or the video of a rape victim?
