It’s 100% true that she is an asshole, and went to work at Asshole Inc. and was treated like an asshole by other assholes, but none of that makes it legal to violate her rights. “She’s a fucking jerk” wouldn’t be a legal defense if you stole her car or burned her house down, why does it justify this particular offense?

Dear Andrea,

It’s not sexual immorality. They are simply purging their genitals, so they can better serve the children of America. Kind of like how swimmers like Ryan Lochte will capture and drown a drifter the night before a competition. You need to go a little haywire in your element if you expect to endure it. This is why Fox…

“Fox News masquerades as a defender of traditional family values, but behind the scenes, it operates like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency and misogyny.”

Agreed. Millions (billions?) of men and women consume porn - many regularly or daily - and very few of them are rapists and/or kidnappers. This is, to me, a correlation-does-not-equal-causation situation. Rather than the porn viewing making his treatment of her worse, perhaps the same mental illness and/or urges that…

What was done to her was beyond unforgivable. But it wasn’t the porn’s fault; it was solely the fault of the evil waste of life who abducted her. Blaming porn is like blaming video games for Columbine.

I feel like a person whose introduction to porn was their rapist abductor kind of doesn't have the most level starting point for a conversation about the subject. But maybe that's just me.

I just disagree that it’s a micro-aggression. This is a woman no one outside of China would have cared about. It’s not like she’s setting the Olympics on fire.

Come on, Rachel. At the end of the day, whether people like it or not, most societies still consider marriage, children, etc, as the things you’re supposed to say are the most important in your life.

This is what worries me too. Brendan doesn’t know any other part of the world, he won’t know how to function anywhere else. But at the same time, he really can’t stay at home. Assuming he isn’t retried, which would be a farce but after what they’ve done already I can’t rule it out, and is released... the local police,…

Whoa. I really did not think this would happen. I hope he can build a life for himself surrounded by supportive people who can try to help him move past this as best he can. And I hope when he sues he gets a shit ton of money.

Unfortunately, unless they are providing men with men-only spaces, then it’s discriminatory.

Our country really has a major problem bending its laws and morals for the sake of sports. From kids smashing their brains, to blind eyes being turned to rape and abuse victims, to the public being fleeced for tax money to build stadiums.

The hypocrisy must be pointed out, though. I shed no tears and feel no grossness for pointing out that the racist, anti-immigrant bigot whose grandparents were immigrants probably married a woman who was here illegally.

The people see it. We all see it. My fucking cat sees it. Republicans won’t acknowledge it and Trump won’t acknowledge it, but that’s just yet another brick in the usual wall of silence surrounding the emperor-with0ut-clothes.

You’d think by now that people would realize, the way you and I obviously do, it’s illegal immigration only when the brown people from that country down there down south do it. Why is this so difficult to understand?

He is such a nasty piece of phlegm.

Guys. Guys! Guyssssss. It’s not like she was (whispers) a caramel latte if you know what I mean....she um.....I mean everyone should follow the law, but it’s not like she (whispers) was a chocolate chip brownie if you know what I mean. People make mistakes! All that paperwork! But it not like she was (in a loud…
