Because it is so much greater than that. It is just common sense.

Ironically, I know of one false rape accusation at UVA. Here’s the reality: many people lie to benefit themselves regardless of the harm caused to others. Those people have no defining characteristic beyond their narcisism and callous disregard for others, i.e. it’s not one race, gender, religion, or culture. Each…

But, much higher among athletes and people of a high-profile. It isn’t being insensitive or uncaring towards victims of domestic violence to point out that professional athletes do have a much higher instance of people coming into their lives and lying to gain something monetarily

It is not an epidemic among NFL players, it’s an epidemic among men. The rate of NFL players isn’t any higher than the rate of the general population.

But women never lie about domestic violence! We’re supposed to just assume the man did it, condemn him in social media, and ruin his life because the woman said he did it! Fuck due process and waiting for evidence to come out before we pass any personal judgments! He’s an NFL player, and it’s just easier for me to…

Where are all the people that were ready to burn him at the stake now?

The fact that she thought a domestic violence charge would end a career in the NFL is hilarious....

I saw this movie, and while I am loath to mock people’s delicate sensibilities, that’s a pretty accurate description.

Have you ever heard of Mad Max: Fury Road? Big hit, very popular on jezebel and it’s readers. Lots of bodies flying around, getting shot, stabbed, maimed and what not. Almost all male bodies though. Nobody was complaining. I never said that women enjoyed violence against men, just that they are not squeamish about…

I’ll think about your smarmy, condescending advice, the next time a group of women giddily discusses yet another movie with extreme violence, how realistic the gore was and all, provided that the violated were all men. Women are not against violence in movies, just against the depiction of female victims.

What? Taboo how? Have you seen any horror movies?

Yes, I’m still counting the many, many ways that men have been killed and tortured in GOT for example, but nevermind, that was always necessary for the plot development and in no way gratuitous! At least I haven’t heard anyone around here complain about it.

“We prefer our violence porn to be rape-free” does seem to be the gist of a lot of comments here.

We are not talking about every possible act of violence against a male character that could be shown in a movie, while expecting female characters to never encounter any violence

Okay but the fact that it’s “what armies do to dominate their enemies” is completely beside the point. Blind Man is a villain in this story, right? Villains do a lot of terrible things in movies (like murder and torture and war crimes) and that doesn’t automatically make a movie bad. Using a tired trope, on the other…

Women watching movies were men get drowned, tortured, burnt to deat, suffocated, stabbed, shot, blown up, castrated, run over by cars... and I assume there is some of that in this movie as well

As a native Chicagoian.... “Oh I don’t see why the teacher’s union has a strike every year. They get paid 70k a year”—typical yuppie from Bartlett living in Lincoln Park to live the true city experience.

I don’t think you understand how “The Second City” is used, or know a lot about architecture.

Second city, the Cubs, pizza wars, the skyscraper dick measuring contest with New York. It’s all there.

Giving away a 1st round pick for Bradford IS inexplicable.
