That moment when CHARLIE FUCKING SHEEN is a voice of reason.

Where is the empathy in Wilson's statement? Even if Wilson was telling the truth how can he (his people) not show the slightest bit of compassion?

Disappointed but not surprised. I'm sure the prosecutor's opening and closing statement was something like, "You may be tempted to indict but don't bother he's white."

I go to college in Cleveland where an innocent twelve year old boy was killed in cold blood by an officer today for daring to carry a BB gun. I'm crying as I type this. I'm so angry. I'm so angry and yet powerless and it's killing me.

Oh. Really.

I just wanted to say this account affected me deeply. I went to the police after a drug facilitated rape 10 years ago. I was in my mid-20s and out of college by then, so it was a criminal complaint. The thing I always remember is waking up after being drugged. In my case the drug he gave me was GHB. When I woke up, I…

They decided he was not guilty of sexual assault, but he was guilty of sexual misconduct. It was because he knew he'd served me those drinks, four to six double vodka drinks and a beer. The sexual assault board agreed that I was intoxicated past the point of consent—but they also said that he did not intend to cause…

This is spot on. As I always say, men should be absolutely furious that rapists are characterized as not being able to help themselves. When excuses like, "the girls were asking for it", or that they "seemed like they wanted it" makes men seem like they are powerless against their urges, basically reducing them to…

The Greek system is about organizing social capital and leveraging it: people will always want to keep whatever power they've got.

This has reduced me to tears. Not because I had the same experience — because I didn't. I drank like an alcoholic fish during my college years — in parties at my college, and in bars (where I lied about my age), and in frats, and in guys' rooms at other colleges, and basically anyplace I could get ahold of booze. …

The more and more I read about this, the more and more I think about my own situation, and it confirms for me that the doubts that I've had in the back of my head for all these years are misfounded and that I was definitely raped. The section outlined here

He was suspended for three years. The point was that he wouldn't be on campus while I was there.

I get what she is saying about UVA being mostly par for the course, but I am also just remembering when I seriously looked into going to the school. I got in, went to admitted students weekend, and everything. It has so many great things - beautiful campus, great classes, etc. - but what eventually really turned me…

They have to be able to handle rape cases because, if they do it right, they can expel or suspend the rapist or put up restrictions to keep the rapist away from the victim, and they can do that much faster than a court can even begin a trial. *And* they're also the only ones who can expel or suspend the rapist. So…

That point always really confuses me. As if kicking rapists out of your school will worsen your school's reputation.

Last year I was told that the Washington football team name "honors" Native Americans. There are constant jokes about whether or not women should be allowed to drive / vote. Constant. Not to mention that if the Ferguson announcement is made Tuesday or Wednesday then instead of getting to go to the Detroit protest to…

I feel like if a person is willing to come forward in that setting and admit that they violated the policy when there's absolutely no advantage to do so, that that does deserve some consideration. That they're willing to say, 'I've done something wrong and I recognize that and I'm willing to take my licks and deal…

I've been dealing with a sexual assault case in the high school that I work in over the past week and the girl at the heart of it keeps saying 'I don't want to get him into trouble'. It's not because she doesn't want him punished; it's because she know how much grief she will get from other students if he is punished…
