@jenawithonen: Maybe. But my friend is definitely kind and compassionate and my dog likes her. The fact that my dog likes her basically means she's an A+ for treating him—he doesn't like most people, and has had a traumatic life that leads him to get scared very easily and thus get aggressive. He's never aggressive…

@Curt Cole: Ah, proof positive that Jezebel isn't actually a feminist website: occasionally a moderator outs himself as being a misogynist!

"I mean, how often do you hear the term used to describe, say, washed-out old ladies, or even lesbians? It's usually some young, hot, sexy type who wields her power over him."

@bunnygloves: Yeah too bad the word "bitch" has a meaning ascribed to it that is misogynous and insulting to women (unless it's being used to specifically reclaim it). For example, when a dude calls me a "fucking bitch" he is not only insulting me, but insulting women in general.

@jenawithonen: I understand that. By my question remains—why are medical emergencies less serious than a death in the family? I mean, you said that there are exceptions made for deaths. So why not medical emergencies? It seems like a weird and nonsensical rule.

@whereismyrobot: Oooh feminist vets should put together a list of dude vets who treat women like shit (like the poster above who said that a male vet told her she's "just' get pregnant and quit). That way I could know that I'm taking my vets to good people!

@dearabigail: "I have heard that in the admissions interview it is not uncommon for the panel to ask what you would do if you, or your significant other, became pregnant during vet school."

@curiousdruid: Your entire comment is built upon ridiculous assumptions. And you know what assumption make you. (An ass.)

@jenawithonen: "barring say, a death in the fam"? Why is it that a death in the fam doesn't automatically get you an F, but a legitimate medical issue will? If someone broke their leg and needed surgery to get pins and so on, and thus missed 5 classes, would they immediately be failed? If it's so important to fail…

@She Ra(ygun): Princess of Power!: For the record, I didn't call you an asshole—I said the tone of your comment made you sound like one.

@She Ra(ygun): Princess of Power!: "if you are on food stamps you are required to get a certain amount of fresh produce"

@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: Did you see the statistics about rape and jail time? Something like 6% of rapists serve time in jail. That is not taking it seriously. If the government and the people took rape seriously then a quarter of US women wouldn't be rape victims. Rape would not be one of the foundational…

@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: 1. The link you provided said nothing that I don't agree with. I question the zeal with which he's been hunted, and I question why all men accused of rape aren't treated similarly.

@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: I think rape is serious; the US government doesn't and neither do most people.

@ZiggyStarPuff: "But I can't speak to whether or not someone is right for posting his bail, and just because Moore chooses to believe Assange does not automatically make him a rape apologist."

@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: But this wasn't an article about the "issues surrounding the Assange" case. This was about Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann dismissing rape charges as "hooey," and promulgating false information that will discredit his alleged victims. It has nothing to do with wikileaks, except…

@RayBradbury's_ElephantMonastery: "pushing a rape charge is probably the best way to get public opinion against Public Enemy No. 1"

@Rollercoasters: If you're under the impression that anyone around here holds politicians who kill people—or do anything less obviously evil but still fucked up—in high regard, you are sorely mistaken.

@memphreblues: IN EUROPE WOMEN LIKE IT LIKE THAT.

@AtomiClash humanitarian mizanthrope: How nuanced and thoughtful of you. Clearly your opinion won't make any difference to the national narrative or his trial or his accusers or his defenders. It's far too logical.
