The thing that strikes me is that Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin because he saw him as a dangerous person. The media put a lot of effort into showing how dangerous Trayvon Martin was by digging up photos and incidents at school. It should be obvious to everyone at this point, no matter what their opinion was of

George Zimmerman is walking, breathing proof that you can get away with anything in this country, so long as you only aim your crimes at people with fewer socioeconomic privileges.

That's so depressing. Sex trafficking conversations always are. Every time I see a man get defensive about it and engage in full-tilt nonsense like "they just have to lay there," I start wondering if it's because he's a customer.

remember the time

Right wingers seem to be obsessed with Bey-Z. Guess they can't stand a black couple worth about a billion dollars combined. It probably ANGERS Mike Huckabee that a black rapper who was a former crack dealer and a black woman who is unapologetic about her sexuality are richer than him. They would rather see black

You know, I started that "sexy delicious Phd" costume review thing on amazon and I can not tell you how many rape threats I ( and several of my fellow lady PhD's) got.

Literally recently crossed someone off due to EXACTLY this:

Dude: Ok well then it's bullying.

My experience with this: I want to discuss an issue where women are being discriminated against, his response, "but men can be discriminated against as well, this one time...."

Every Internet Conversation With White Dudes:

sorry, what BS. I am pretty sure that people who have not experienced racism can understand the concept of anti-racism, exactly because of thinking that people of different skin tone should be treated equally while recognizing that this has historically not been the case. You are just repeating the same old "humanist

Don't forget how they feel like they need to play devil's advocate here.

He knows where that number comes from; he pulled it out of his ass.

Whenever people start imagining conspiracies that are so unwieldy that they beggar the imagination, I wonder if they've ever heard of Ockham's Razor.

JFC, the lengths people will go to in order to not have to believe the most statistically likely scenario - that a man you know and respect has sexually assaulted women. No no no, it can't be that!! Instead it's an orchestrated conspiracy by some unknown individual(s) that has spanned 4 decades and involves almost 20

Your description of your circumstance was so close to real life for me I had to check some of your other posts to make sure you weren't actually my wife. As the potential other husband in this scenario I can tell you outright - sure, it's frustrating sometimes baby. But you know what is worse? Not being with my best

Ugh, this is not at all directed at you, but you've just illustrated perfectly why we, as a culture, HAVE to stop thinking of "sex" as exclusively p-in-v penetrative sex. It excludes so many, many other ways of getting off. It's sad. And it's especially bad to treat p-in-v as the be-all, end-all because it can be so

Nope— you're not a martyr. You're a partner. For the record I'm not saying it's EXACTLY THE SAME, but my wife works a ton of hours (surprise, residency...) and so I do her laundry quite often. Do I love it? No. It's lame, and it adds to my list of lame things I have to do in my life. But I do it because it's the

You're a good guy for being so patient, but I'm going to stop you for a second and play the "selfish bastard" card.
