I don't have a pithy comment. That was pretty amazing.

I really like the poem, and also what she Tweeted after:

Writer Patricia Lockwood has written a poem over at The Awl called "Rape Joke." It is not necessarily funny ha-ha, but it is very moving: "The rape joke is if you write a poem called Rape Joke, you’re asking for it to become the only thing people remember about you."

Holy crap people I got enough responses! Is it too much to ask that people look to see if there already is an answer?

It's not a fashion trend.

... Didn't you just kind of undermine your own point about worrying about fitting in by then denying someone admittance based on arbitrary criteria like if they play X video game?

Sorry, but no. If you say you're a geek, you're a geek - no qualifiers.

This is Fox News mission statement.

But everybody's just focusing on that one time he made a mistake! And it's not fair, because it's like his whole life is being painted by this one thing he did that one time, like they're not even bothering to get to know him or give him a chance, or try to find out what kind of guy he is! They're prejudiced against…

By that logic, wouldn't that make all artists (from Shakespeare to Picasso to The Beatles) prostitutes then?

Yeah, it's pretty classy to post a photo and all kinds of info about a rape victim trying to change his name.

Do me a favor and DON'T go telling the internet what name he chooses, okay?

Matt soon-to-be-NOT-Sandusky is a victim of abuse. One of the reasons he is changing his name must be to protect his privacy, and distance his affiliation from his evil adoptive 'father'. So how about NOT running his picture with this post? Just a thought.

Thank you all for the nice comments. I am very surprised to have received a positive response after all of the commotion out there on "teh interwebz." While I do see the point of the comments that essentially say that her sign is risque, if it started a debate that helped everyone see the type of protesting that was…

True story: Carmen Sandiego was my first (recognized) same-sex crush. So whatever PBS has planned will likely revive some initially confusing feelings for me.

jesus, women just aren't allowed to be sexual or find any enjoyment in sex at all, are they? if it's premarital, shes a slut. if it's marital, it's a duty. All of these shitty attitudes just say to me "we don't give a shit if you feel good or not"

I don't understand this "sex is an obligation that women owe men" mentality. It seems to be everywhere but it makes no sense. I would NEVER want to have sex with a man who was disinterested and only doing it because he felt obliged. And my husband never presses the issue when I'm tired/crampy/whatever, because he…

Oh hey, apologetics for marital rape!

No, I didn't, but I certainly have no idea what it's like to be treated as a boy either.
