You could always set the Satanic Temple on them (not to be confused with the Church of Satan, which is an entirely different organization). They do things like start Satanic after school programs and hand out Satanic tracts. Nothing gets religion out of schools faster than those schools being reminded that when the…

Build the wall, they’re streaming in. Ban the Muslims, they’re coming to massacre us. Cops, you gotta get rough with the suspects. Sluts are murdering babies. The bad hombres are running wild – deport them all. Sanctuary cities will turn into the Thunderdome. MS-13 are coming for your beautiful, beautiful daughters.…

Yes! And also the power of peer pressure when a social group has no tolerance for sexual assault. I think that hat makes se a husband I’ve difference in the lives of the writer and her assailant after the fact.

Damn. Thank you for this summary.

Buying a round at the bar and robbery both involve me handing money to someone else, but the police don’t assume there’s a potential for me to have confused the two. Lots of crimes have non-criminal analogs (borrowing vs theft, invitation onto property vs trespass, prize fight vs battery). What’s different about…

But police don’t generally hand them to a school without a public records request, and even then tend to stonewall on “ongoing investigations” if they can. This was likely an act of intimidation/payback by the accused, and while technically legal it is a) dickish and b) speaks to what sexual assault victims are often…

My body healed. My mind has not. My inability to feel safe should not be seen as tantamount to physical injury? Perhaps you are unaware there are physical repercussions from stress, both chronic and situational, and they impact quality of life as well as life expectancy?

But you have to know the report exists in order to get it in the first place. #isntsimplelogicgreat

It will take 2 generations dying off to make a difference. Our culture is pretty big on victim-blaming and I don’t expect a significant change until old farts with antiquated opinions are replaced by more open-minded people.

Nope! (apologies for linking my own comment, but I just typed it all up)

The alleged victim never sought the university’s involvement and did not initially file a Title IX complaint since the alleged rape took place off campus. The police report, however, was given to the university by a Utah County Sheriff and friend of Seidu.

I wonder how many members of the jury, who presumably are all active Mormons (this is Utah County we’re talking about), are aware that the LDS Church has an essay on its website discussing the variations in Joseph Smith’s accounts of his vision of God and Jesus—focusing in particular how it is normal for people’s…

Maybe we could put an age restriction on Olympic athletes, so maybe minors wouldn’t be in the total control of ogres and such?

Yep, pretty much. Even setting aside that raw difficulty of the training, I still think it’s a tough question.

Again, this will only be allowed insofar as it doesn’t threaten the business of film making. Now that you’re outlining clear threats to the way business is done — and even to the very reason bookkeeping is done the way it is in Hollywood — you’re about to watch what one of the world’s most efficient propaganda outfits…

I love how they make it a free speech issue. That means I should be allowed to go to a school like Liberty and give a talk about why their god is false and Satan is the only way forward.

I heard an interview with him on NPR a couple years ago, and it’s excruciatingly obvious how clever he thinks his shit is. He’s just a oversized horrid child who thinks his impish pranks are cute - like the worst adult version of your shitty little cousin, but super-racist, and surrounded by people so stupid they…

I like how he’s too much of a coward to just come right out and directly state his bigoted beliefs. “I don’t necessarily think that’d be a great thing”....wtf kind of craven tortured semantics is that? Just fuckin say it, loser!
