It's "reasonable doubt" not "a reason to doubt." If there is a reasonable explanation as to how this person could be innocent, then yes, that's reasonable doubt. If the situation where this person is innocent takes a circus of mental gymnastics, like that they called in a fake police report to cover up... their good…

He let a rapist go, is gleefully explaining that waking up to penetration and thinking someone wants it is the same as consent, and is now making money off of talking about it. I think a good punch in the face is just what he needs.

That part kind of made me sick. Not only is this man cool with raping unconscious women, he bullied this juror into acquiescing.

It's true that I've been reading them and that some people within the community will say that reducing the male population is the only way to combat rape culture. The point, I believe, is that all the progress and technology in the world can't make us not physically vulnerable and the only way to combat such…

I have been overwhelmed by the rape stories as of late. Every one brings up my own history of assault. I've been reading a lot of radfem articles that talk about getting the male population down to 20%. On the one hand I know that's crazy and obviously unattainable by any ethical means. On the other hand, there is no…

For the most part I don't think they are terribly sexualized. Of course the Olympic Volleyball players will always be offered Playboy Contracts, but for the most part, women athletes are mostly ignored. I'd love for them to get more media, but I think it also plays against the male gaze. Athletes are taught to value…

Yeah, the problem with revealing outfits isn't the skin either. No one is shocked by the sight of a half naked (or naked for that matter) 3 year old. It's pretty adorable for the most part. It's the sexualization of that 3 year old that gets everybody upset.

When did forcing kids to play sports get a bad name? I'm totally forcing my kids to play sports. It can be a bunch of different sports, or an unconventional sport, but by god my children will learn to be on a team, lose with dignity, and that their bodies are actually capable of a lot more than they think.

Yeah, like when your heart gets all dodgy. NY is no place for the dodgy of heart.

Ah, it's not so bad. Sure, my car has been broken into 5 times in the 5 years I've lived here, but we have adorable movie theaters where a velvet curtain gets drawn before every movie. Plus, the best Mexican and Thai food ever.

Was this cross posted to Gizmodo or something? If I hear one more fucking person say I'm "giving" someone power by being emotionally effected by assault/harassment I'm going to jam a keyboard in their eye. Reality of the patriarchy: I have very little power to begin with. The WHOLE point of grabbing my ass on the…

I live in LA and I once had to call 911. I didn't get an operator for over 20 minutes. Later, when my husband was attacked by 4 men and robbed in the middle of the day, we went to the police station but just ended up not filing a report. They basically told us that there wasn't any point.

I missed the part where she mentioned that this is the absolute worst thing that has ever happened to her, right behind chipping her manicure and scuffing her new heels. Or do you have some kind of personal insight into her history of pain?

I'm going to bring 3D glasses and then say things like "I feel like its tail is coming right at me."

That tapeworm is a separate, whole, living being with unique DNA. Besides, removing tape worms has been proven* to increase your risk of suicide.

Why must drinks be so gendered? I hate the dude compliments I get when I order whiskey almost as much as I hate the "chick" stigma that comes with ordering a hefeweizen. Can't you people just let me be an alcoholic in peace?

I got that number from the Women and Healthcare Reform conference I attended last week, but here's some sources for you:

Always Sunny in Philedelphia

Yeah!

Don't forget able-bodied! I won't be happy until they show an old, overweight, multi-racial, differently-abled, polyamorous, trans, unconventionally unattractive couple in this commercial!
