For all the talk about slut shaming on this site, this article kind of feels like prude shaming. How about there are just some people you like and some people you don't like, regardless of their sexual history?

This times infinity. I wish I could so eloquently put it like this. I love everything you've said here. (Except for the part about the rape. I'm so sorry you had to experience that.)

I graduated with a journalism degree six years ago and I am about to go back to school for nursing. I love news and writing and editing, and I'm even good at it, but it has been the most horrific job. I'm in the process of going back to school for nursing.

I've never seen Game of Thrones. I'm way too into Netflix reruns of things like Supernatural and Buffy and Firefly to have time for HBO. But I thought I'd share this with you anyway.

That's a good point.

There is a theory behind the results of those studies, and it goes something like this. People who live together before marriage may hold less-traditional values than those who wait until marriage to live together. And if their values aren't as traditional, they may also be more likely to divorce when the going gets…

Gotcha. So then ... the money is gone? Do they have a plan?

I thought the rule behind Kickstarter was that whoever was responsible for the project only got the money if the project went into production. If that's true, then the money never actually should have been taken from anyone's account. If Gawker Media did take the money and then decided not to do anything, that's a…

No one is defending him or saying that it doesn't count. But if it serves to justify your itch to be outraged by everything, go ahead and continue to willfully misinterpret what I'm saying.

Try to understand this letter in the context of its time. I get why he said what he said when he said. I'm not at all surprised by it. 1961 was an extremely different time, a time when men and women were more constrained by what society expected of them. And his letter is a by-product of that. You're judging his…

Please re-read what I wrote, because as it stands you are putting words in my mouth. I think it's fair for him to say that he felt it was a reasonable concern in 1961 considering the social climate for women, but has come to recognize that things have changed and his concern is no longer reasonable. That is in no way…

See, I think he has changed his view. He recognizes that today's society is much more welcoming and supportive of women who choose to have marriage, motherhood, and career. He shouldn't have to change his views about the 1960s. I wasn't alive then, but I'd bet that with the social demands on women to be fully devoted…

Saying he thought her vagina would stand in the way of her career is a bit simplistic. He believed her devotion to her family might stand in the way, and in 1961 when there was still a social expectation that women would devote themselves to family it was probably a legitimate concern. He may have seen several female…

Most things on Jezebel are written about purely to invite snarky judgement. Seriously, though, look at the poses. They all look like they're auditioning for an Excedrin commercial. It's a weird commentary on the state of the fashion industry to see that looking like you're miserable and in pain is apparently equated…

I don't see what's so wrong with his response. He says he wrote what he believed at the time to be a relevant letter and that he would not write such a letter today. Should he grovel and beg for forgiveness? As much as it sucks, it probably was a realistic concern of his when the letter was written, and she's probably…

They all look like they have a headache.

It comes down to communication. Communicate with someone before you sleep with them. It may take some of the fun and spontaneity out of it, but we need to serve our best interests by not sleeping with people we really know nothing about. Who knows? His personal views may kill your desire for him, so you're not really…

God, that was my exact thought when McCain chose her as his running mate. He really thought he could appease the Hillary voters just by slapping a vagina on the table. Didn't matter what came along with the vagina as long as it was a vagina. He really thought female voters cared more about having a female candidate…

I had the same thought about the precedent this might set and the whole nighttime theft thing. Would it not have been OK if he shot her at noon? It sounds like a silly question, but I am curious about it.

He was acquitted. You can't appeal an acquittal. I'm not sure what legal recourse the victim's family has now, if any.
