As someone who, for the past eight years, has worked closely with dozens of young Irish women making their way in the world of International teaching, I can tell you something I believe to be quite accurate: They do not fuck around. They are tough, stubborn, kind hearted, and part of a new generation of Irish, the…

I usually hate Twitter, but then something like this happens, and I sort of get it. Twitter is really the perfect medium for this kind of statement. Strength and power, women of Ireland.

Well, clearly he doesn’t think that the lives of women and children matter much. The victim impact statement from the Brock Turner case did not convince him that the destruction of her life warranted any thing that would derail Turner’s. And he clearly is, yes, too stupid to understand that to have child porn at all,…

I do not understand U.S. sentencing. A man rapes a woman: 2 years probation! Doesn’t have to register as a sexual offender. A man shares pornography OF BABIES and young girls and judge is iffy on felony or not.

I’d be willing to bet several hundred dollars this guy is some kind of sexually deranged pervert based on how blithely and willingly he shows leniency to the defendants in such cases.

The timing ...

Due to the fact that his nickname is “David the Rapist”, I’m going to bet these two aren’t his only victims.

Thank you! :)

The idea that a parent could actively work to cover up a wrongdoing that their child has done just horrifies me. Those boys parents... wow. And the authorities... FUCKING HELL. It’s hard to say what the worst part of these stories are. All the parts are the worst, really.

We have a 15-year old daughter and a 13-year old son, and I think it’s important that we all watch this together as a family. Boys need to get the message loud and effing clear, and girls, sadly, need to think about how to protect themselves from predators disguised as peers. The knowledge that these rapists take…

I have a 6 year-old-daughter. I’m nearly 40, so I got to go to high school pre-social media.

I’m so fucking tired.

What happened to Daisy Coleman and her family is beyond awful. The fact that, even after being run out of town and having their home burned down, the little scumbag got off with a slap on the wrist is even *more* infuriating.

I guess this is what we get with the Gawker migration? Cool stuff.

Psht this is ridiculous. I know someone who is hyperandrogenic with PCOS and she struggled with weight and being active in general. Maybe she’s way below someone like Sememya’s levels but it’s not like more testosterone makes you an instant athletic machine.

Yeah, no. Nature gives certain people advantages in certain tasks. I could have trained from birth and I’d still never be as fast as Sharp, let alone Semenya. Sometimes life is unfair. I feel for Sharp, and for all athletes who get to that level and realize they still can’t be the best, but that’s how competition…

Gender isn't binary so what are you gonna do. Forcing someone to alter their natural biology is ridiculous to me

Honestly, I'd have way less issue with her lodging a protest of it was done before the race. But girl, you lost, you came 6th, and you can't blame that on anybody else but yourself. You let yourself get psyched out by seeing a stronger competitor.

I feel like the Deadspin article a few days ago about gender testing was equal parts informative and disturbing. I can’t imagine what it feels like to be subjected to such invasive testing, especially because Semenya has not done anything wrong either.

This poor woman has been through hell. Even if she weren’t “feminine enough”, my beau and I were just discussing this during the mountain biking event (it was awesome)......why are men and women separated during every event? Not every single event should be mixed. But for cripes sake, one woman was 10 years older than…
