Once again, I don't think any of my quotes have been out of context, except in the literal sense that they are pulled from longer paragraphs. The surrounding text in no way changes the slant of the sentence itself.

Heads up to the people responding to Clestesti — check out his commenting history. He's a dude who is playing the hyperbole-troll game. He pretends to be a sort of "extreme feminist" who advocates violence in an effort to make actual feminists look bad.

That person has to be an MRA in disguise trying to discredit women in some way. That person can not possibly be for real, can they? Makes me sick to my stomach.

Because this person said this so perfectly. Oh, and you are a crazy person.

"we shouldn't assume the accused is guilty in general, EXCEPT for rape cases."

" As for the other point, I would argue that yes, we shouldn't assume the accused is guilty in general, EXCEPT for rape cases. It seems like rape is the only crime for which we instantly grant all the benefit of the doubt to the accused and heap all the blame on the victim. Reversing that is of the utmost importance."

Nope. Not an MRA, not an anti-feminist, not a 4chan or Reddit user.

"Only" 18 percent? Call me a glass half empty kind of person, but that percentage seems way too high to be dismissed so cavalierly.

"we can't discount the possibility that the rape happened."

Your reporting on a fact shouldn't be dependant either on your fear of bolstering MRA propaganda OR offending assault victims.

women have very little, if anything, to gain from falsely reporting a rape

I think "she's a vile piece of work, but I guess if one had to identify a positive aspect of her character or behavior, it's the fact that she publicly retracted accusations which completely ruined a man's reputation" would be more suitable.

I met joanie faircloth on Facebook. She joined a few groups I was in. She lied constantly and even went as far as telling a friend if mine that she owned a house she would rent to her if she would move there. For months she continued this farce. My friend loaded up everything she owned and moved her children states…

#NotAllWomen are automatically telling the truth when they say someone raped them. That doesn't mean others aren't telling the truth.

Yes. Yes. Yes. We should all be fucking furious about this, about people like this. This is the kind of shit that give rape apologists amo. People like this make every victim less believable, and the climate towards sexual abuse survivors hostile and full of distrust. Fuck this horrible person and her desperate…

well he was suing her, demanding she recant. so admitting her false accusation probably has more to do with that than suddenly feeling badly for accusing him to begin with.

I find myself incredibly frustrated with Jezebel's response to this story. Just as you rightfully call out people who commit rape (proven cases) you should call out assholes like Faircloth in this situation. Be outraged! This is a disgusting act that makes it more and more impossible for people actually raped to be…

she let it go on until interest started to wane and then she did this to get more attention.

Can't wait to see this story linked every time someone accuses a celebrity of rape from now on. Way to go sister! You are a horrible, horrible person.

It's a bad decision that she kept making over and over again, perpetuating the lie. I imagine she got caught up in the attention but it was a truly harmful lie (for Oberst and sexual assault survivors).
