We are told, repeatedly, to ignore it. It's not real. It's just "crazy", lonely guys who we should feel sorry for. But as a mental health activist, I have no time for the language of emotional distress being used to excuse an atrocity, and as a compassionate person I am sick of being told to empathize with the…

It was late Monday night and, knowing full-well that I had to wake up early for work the next day, I was buried deep…
I read it last night and was hoping to discuss it with someone.
I'm not saying that this guy wasn't profoundly fucked up an misogynistic. I'm saying that the police involvement in this case wasn't necessarily hampered by sexism per se. Two separate arguments.
Firstly, for better or for worse, he probably was within his rights to own those firearms. That's a red herring, based on the applicable laws even in California.
I work in mental health, and based on the videos, this guy IN NO WAY meets the definition of psychotic. Angry, depressed, misogynist? Yes! But he is certainly not out of touch with reality. In addition, it's very difficult to hospitalize a person or force psychiatric medications on a person unless they demonstrate…
The real point is that patriarchy robs everyone, female, male and otherwise, of the ability to be their fullest, best versions of themselves. 99.9% of us play a part in that gender policing. Women have fought for more free self-expression and have gotten it, at least in the Western world (when I was a kid, girls…
It's interesting how everyone tries so hard to deny this guy hated women, even though he felt he deserved a hot blonde one, and the men who actually dated women rather than creepily staring at them. He wrote a fucking manifesto about it, people! It's not conjecture! And if his stupid ass plan had worked—to turn his…
I'm not sure you understand what I was getting at. The dude in the video talks about how beer commercials show people with beers who we're led to believe are going to have sex later on, and uses this to justify the idea that "it's not rape just because she's drunk." This is so staggeringly obvious (to him, at least)…
It's graduation time for a lot of college students around the country. As they make their way across the stage to…
Asperger's is not a mental illness.
Even though I just watched the video on a different site, I'm going to propose taking it down from Jezebel. It's already available from many other sources plus the text and additional info gets the point across without having to watch a mentally ill killer announce his plan and figure out the best "evil laugh."
I'm upset by the inclusion of the video of the alleged shooter's ramblings. I feel like every time something like this happens, the media immediately disseminates all videos/letters/social media posts by these people, thus making them "celebrities" in the sense that everyone knows their names and all of their…
I would like to see a media convention adopted towards mass killers: we never see their face, we never know their names. If we can manage to do it for rape victims to avoid shaming them, we can manage to do it for mass killers so that we don't glorify them. The attention definitely feeds the problem.
This is disgusting, and I'm disappointed in Jezebel.
I imagine this to mean you have no sets of guest towels, that you have no additional sets of towels for yourself in case one gets dirty before you're ready to do a towels and sheets laundry load, and/or that you leave every towel you own out all of the time, collecting dust, until it might be used.
Not all food.
That's why her hair is so big—its full of self-awareness
