Either the one who talked about Jesus too much, or the one who didn't talk about Jesus enough.

Welcome to Schizophrenic Jezebel.

Sucks to be them.

But what about tolerating other cultures, and all that nonsense?

The title is misleading (if not an outright intentional lie.) The study appears to state that the *risk* of FGM has increased — NOT the actual numbers of FGMs performed. While it is, of course, a terrible practice, let's try to keep from getting hysterical and seeing bogeymen everywhere. The thing about cultural…

FGM has been illegal in the U.S. since 1996 and "vacation cutting" was outlawed in 2012.

...wut?

I'm so sad that this is still a thing. Those poor girls.

Chance? Poor girl has a lifetime of cheesy pickup lines ahead of her.

if i was a boy, my mom didn't know what she would have named me bc her bff took the name she wanted, brendan.

Bryn and I were correspondents for a while, and I once went to meet him on set. (Hi Bryn!) If anyone can do this justice with quite a bit more than a fair degree of intelligence, it's him. I'll be watching.

I think too many people assume that, for anyone who experiences acquaintance rape, that experience will act like a switch on their feelings, and, BOOM, you'll clearly feel like that person is an asshole. That probably happens in some cases. But when it is someone to whom you are close, whom you trust, with whom…

Let's figure out WHY in addition to HOW. Why do men rape? It's not an anomaly of the human condition; it's an ugly but real part of it. Why do women continue to say "I love you" to someone after they have been raped by that person? Also not an anomalous experience/reaction. Why does rape persist in our species,…

Clearly plenty of people seem to think that smoke is coming from these women's, flaming pants.

I think most of us are predisposed to look for ambiguity, for a grey area between the "he said" and the "she said" because we are programmed to do so out of a misguided sense of skepticism or even agnosticism when it comes to sexual assault. In my own case, that was the most crazy-making aspect; otherwise perfectly…

I have to admit, I found Cathy's piece yesterday credible. I didn't recognize her byline, and I couldn't imagine why a woman would say she loved somebody who raped her or suggest hanging out with him. The longer transcripts and Emma's explanations put my concerns in context. It looks like she was trying to pull away…

The last paragraph is very true, whether you are a liberal, conservative, or normal person. The question is how do we improve the system? What can be done to prevent rape? What can be done to encourage more victims to report? Other than turning our society into an Orwellian nightmare where everybody is monitored 24/7,…

This comment wins.

It was her other boss, right? I mean yikes.
