For one, I highly doubt a woman would be blamed for her own rape for not using a capped cup in a situation in which the capped cup would not have prevented the rape. In other words, no one will be blaming her for not using a capped cup if she was chloroformed or held at gunpoint. The idea that ANY precaution that is…

Holy shit, nail on the head.

Does anyone on this site actually go out to bars? Like do they sit here and think when people go to bars there are all these classrooms that serve alcohol and discuss the implication of the objectification of women in today's society or theories of rape culture?

How fucking out of touch are…

Touche. I've been afraid to say it until now but you're right. I am a huge proponent of rape culture. Rape isn't a real thing anyway because women should be having sex with any man who demands it. Forget should be, they all want it.

This old argument again? This is a good idea that could prevent someone's drink from getting spiked. The bar is tackling a specific problem that is part of a greater problem because it's what they can do. I wouldn't call it a "bandaid" solution I would call it a solution to one particular part of the problem. Do you…

Argh I'm so fucking sick of this idea that women shouldn't be taking responsibility for their own safety because in a perfect world they wouldn't have to. Living in a fantasy world won't keep you safe! Predators are out there, and they will continue to be out there. You can't just sit around waiting for society to…

You do realize most of the world thinks high school diplomas are pretty much just handed out in America, right? In other countries there's an actual fear of not getting a diploma or equivalent if you do poorly.

First of all, she was hitting and kicking him. She was trying to beat him up even if she didn't succeed.

Welcome to Jezebel, where no one misses an opportunity to shit on people of color.

I don't really buy into the whole "anecdotal evidence" argument. Either provide empirical data that the majority of men are sexist or your argument is crap.

Saying "most men" are sexist is different than saying "a lot of men". No one is pretending that everything is hunky dory. I just think it is important for everyone to be intellectually honest when discussing sexism. If women don't want to be stereotyped, generalized, labelled, and painted with broad strokes, doesn't…

That does sound fun, but I'm just talking about your standard-size lawn and push mower. I'd much rather be outside manicuring the yard once a week in the growing season than continually cleaning the kitchen, bathroom and doing laundry. I own my own home and do both, yard work is the best.

Sounds like a damned good idea. US Justice Department studies have shown that LGBT prisoners are at high risk of being raped by their straight male fellow inmates (and straight male staff). It makes sense to put them in a separate facility for their safety.

E vs meth! The great thing about e is that you usually get both.

I think the very idea of having "live music" and "hula hoops" in a place of work is dumb.

It sounds as if this person has been the victim of some totally inexcusable behavior, but I too feel uncomfortable with descriptions of her emotional state. It feels as if they are included to increase my empathy for her and amplify the outrage over this situation, when the only truly relevant considerations are the…

Jason collins is a terrible abomination and i am horrified of the effect he will have on our nations children.

I agree with you that he doesn't have the right to tell her not to move. I'm not addressing the legalities of her rights or his rights. The fact that he wanted her to have an abortion is irrelevant. The fact that he didn't want to maintain a relationship with her is irrelevant. The fact that he did not want to attend…

"T.J. Oshie does whatever he wants."

If this is true, PLEASE report it. I work for SSA and we are so woefully understaffed we can't keep track of everyone. If he is making that level of income he would NOT be entitled to that amount of Social Security. He might be taking actions to hide it. We see it a lot, but usually only catch people when someone…

Do the trains have to hit 88mph?
