I'm seeing a lot of people not digging on the wives, sisters, daughters portion, but I don't see it as patriarchal so much as the nature of language. The ad is intended for men, and about sexual violence against women. These are the words referring to female relatives.

I hear you, friend. Unfortunately, I think that when we try to fit every message into each message, we end up overcrowding our ideas and in turn, weakening them all. There's a lot of evil in the world to be eradicated, and sometimes it will require baby steps. I hope this is only the beginning of a groundswell to…

Gosh I am emotional today. I got teary watching this. The part that says, "If I saw it happening, I wouldn't blame her" just really hit me.

Benicio. Have never loved you more.

A) She is a woman, not a homosexual man.

Why post the photo of her except to attempt to publicly humiliate her, (not to mention potentially outing her as transgender,) and ostracize her from the community for the duration of her life? That's pretty damn cold, bestiality aside.

The scarcity model alone is pretty wack.

this comment is awesome and brave and the snark seen in response proves it.

I work out five times a week (I'm not pregnant, but I am a woman.) I've gone through four gyms in as many years. Why? Because apparently, you're not supposed to work out if you're a woman. Of any age. Or if you have 30 lbs to lose, or 20 to gain. If you are petite. Or especially tall. Or if you have short hair. Or…

I spoke many kind lies when shutting down icky men.

Excuse me, but why would she have any interest in going to prom with an underage teenage boy she doesn't know? It's fucking weird. You should know that by putting a celebrity on the spot like that, it puts them in a position where either they say yes or look horrible and mean for shutting the kid down publicly.

You caught me out! I'm one of those rad-fems who thinks that when a woman is at a school talking about the importance of STEM careers, it's offensive and, frankly, fucking stupid to make a spectacle of her by asking her, publicly, to be your prom date. Essentially, what Pat said was: "Yeah, yeah, enough of the…

I think she looks fantastic for her age. People need to stop concern trolling (or just outright insulting) womens' appearances.

PROTIP: Stop clicking on articles about her.

I'm surprised they weren't in their matching bowler hats! Either way they are both so lovely!

No one is saying her experience is fraudulent, only that it's screwed up for her to imply that people with a different experience are whores and gigolos.

Then she was not actually responding to the actual issue that was being discussed.

By "that's not how it works" I mean "people who are sexually exploited by people in positions of power do not 'court' their exploitation."

I think we can all agree that Russian-Armenian miscegenation is the root of all evil. I mean, good God, who wants to see Armenian man-nose on a little girl? Thank you, extremely-limited-worldview-Barbie, for giving voice to the downtrodden.
