Same. I know it’s a cover but I feel like singers keep taking her song titles. First Taylor Swift with “Shake it Off” and now this one -_-

Obviously we know that we have a better chance of being attacked by someone known to us. But that doesn’t mean, as evidenced by this example, that it never happens. We get attacked by strangers and by people who are known to us. What do you think the solution to that is? You bring up this idea to derail the current…

I’m not sure I’d make that jump. Without knowing exactly what the cause is, we can’t know for sure. It might have been that he was having some kind of episode where he didn’t know where he was and, say, walked out into traffic. In that way, he would have been a danger to himself or others without being violent.

Judging from your other comments, you were saying that you think a remark on gender stereotypes was simply to “score some cheap points” rather than to point out that this is part of a larger pattern of violence against women. I just pointed out that, regardless of mental illness or other circumstances, you can’t…

See, at first I’m inclined to agree with you, but we don’t know what the mental illness was and you can’t go around painting all mentally ill people as potentially violent. If we knew that this guy had a mental illness that predisposed him to violence, it would be different, but that’s just not the case.

That show is pure gold.

Of course, and as I said, I think that’s a valid criticism. I think if we got enough people emailing Jezebel about this problem, they would try to include more stories on the issue.

This article focuses on campus rape because the original Rolling Stone article focused on campus rape. While I believe the criticism that not enough attention is paid to rapes that occur off college campuses is valid, there are a large number or resources that cater to rapes of all kinds, not just the rapes of women…

Sounds like a good tactic for dealing with it once it happens, but I’m more interested in what causes them to feel as though they have to manipulate us in the first place. I don’t have an answer for that, and I wouldn’t really expect anyone to, but I really wish I didn’t have to stoop to their manipulative bullshit to…

Because it’s fine for a man to create original documents, but the menial task of making copies should fall to the least valuable employees - women. /s

Holy shit. Please tell me you sent that gauges story to Behind Closed Ovens...that’s ridiculous.

I said in reply to a comment a bit further up: sometimes the whole “I’m useless at it anyway, so you should just do it” tends to feel an awful lot like manipulation. It’s not acceptable for them to slap us on our asses anymore, so they find other ways to try to demonstrate their power over us.

It’s even worse when you realize that, once you have it turned on and set up, you literally just put the document in and press a button. I think, sometimes, it’s like some kind of powerplay. “I could do this thing myself, but if I pretend to be terrible at it, I can manipulate you into doing it for me.”

It’s not a dress code. It’s not even a policy, according to the school board president. You can’t just make up these arbitrary rules on the spot and if the school board president doesn’t know of anything, it seems likely that there no such policy exists.

I've been frank about this before. I don't give blowjobs either. It's triggering for me and I simply don't do it. I do love receiving oral sex and I've never had a problem with guys not wanting to do it just because I don't return the favor. If, in theory, a guy demanded that I reciprocate, we wouldn't do either. It's…

If you really can't understand the difference between a widespread social problem that deals with how people are socialized differently based on gender and a "haha, we all think the same" statement, your understanding of this topic is not sophisticated enough to join this argument and it's not our job to teach you.

But like, you get paid regardless of how the people you help feel. If they feel you did a shitty job, you still get paid. If a server's customer feels they did a shitty job (whether or not they actually did a shitty job) they may not get paid enough to live.

A little. It's hard to know, because so little scientific research is available on the subject. I suppose, if we knew where it came from, it might be easier to avoid having people play out these fantasies in an abusive way.

1) No. You said, "name me a video game where a female protagonist is raped or a past rape is a major part of her backstory." You didn't ask for other games. Maybe you're clarifying that now, but you can't pretend that's what you asked for in the first place. Also, you said, "a video game." I gave you three.
