OR, some people aren’t good at mating for life.

Seriously. I'm sure it's like a one on one Gymboree class and, logistically, for them it probably is easier to have someone come to their house. As someone who's not naturally inclined to being active, without a background in sports as a kid I definitely wouldn't be as open to working out as I am now (endorphins are…

So... she has one her trainers teach North basic, age appropriate exercises twice a week? BURN THE WITCH! I can’t see a reason to snark about this. I think there’s nothing wrong with giving young kids a good groundwork for health and fitness. It would be one thing if he was putting a two year old through ridiculous…

So someone is trading on their good relations with popular actors (one of whom is arguably one the biggest stars in the world right now) in order to release a movie with a large built-in audience? Well that’s not cool.

I believe time would be better spent educating

I feel bad for Jake Lloyd. He’s become the poster child for why Episode 1 was shit and it really is undeserved. There were so many other problems with that movie but sure let’s focus on the child actor and “WHOOPIE!”.

On the other hand, I have met too many men who can’t wait to have more contraception options available to them. Women trying to trap them, attempting to wrongly assign paternity to them etc. So there’s that.

There’s honestly nothing that can really BE done. The school’s can’t engage in punative actions against students who, legally speaking, have done nothing wrong. Frankly, they could be sued for that.

Successful prosecution of sexual assault has the lowest rate of most forms of crime, but this in no way creates a…

An ‘alleged’ rapist isn’t a rapist, anymore than you or I are rapists in the eyes of the law. “Innocent until proven guilty” is a principle of our legal system. You cannot take away someone’s rights without due process. This is enshrined in the constitution. You can’t just make exceptions when you feel like it because…

Sorry but that is how the criminal justice system works, you don’t punish people when there is no evidence they did anything wrong.

I know. It’s so weird and foreign to me as well and just doesn’t make sense but it’s one of those things I just put down to cultural differences and don’t even ask that question anymore because it just gets you a lot of angry replies accusing you of being a rape apologist (wtf?).

If there is not enough evidence for an arrest then nothing should happen to that person. He should have a clean record and he should be able to transfer to another school. Sorry but that is how the criminal justice system works, you don’t punish people when there is no evidence they did anything wrong. And yes maybe a…

It’s a very old debate about balancing our freedoms to_____ with our freedoms from ____. I think sometimes we forget about one or the other. If the right to keep charges which have been made against me a secret from a school I am transferring to trumps my right from being raped, every single time as a matter of…

Couldn’t agree more. But I think the problem is that the cultural problem can’t only be addressed once kids reach college. The cultural problem begins in how we raise boys and girls, how we educate them, how we parent, how boys are taught to look at women and how young kids are taught about sex and consent. I think…

but from a practical point of view do the rights of alleged rapists to have a clean transcript trump the safety of other students?

I agree with you on this. There is a real problem with campus sexual assault, but how schools go about investigating it is haphazard and without due process. I used to work in higher education in my twenties and was involved with one sexual assault “investigation”. It was an embarrassment. Investigation started due to…

What about a person accused of a single sexual assault with no physical evidence beyond the victim’s testimony of lack of consent, who has not been convicted in a court of law? ... Would allowing that person on campus be a breach of the university’s duty to the safety of their other students?

When someone brought up teaching sexual consent at the very young age, my initial thought was “You can’t teach sex education to 5 year olds.”

The rights of alleged rapists? When did we start convicting people before they were actually convicted? An alleged anything has all the rights of you or me. Its when they are no longer alleged that they should lose their rights.
