Not all murders are gun related, but overall, men tend to be killed by men, while women...tend to be killed by men. There are a lot of factors at play. Yes, it is true that most victims of gun violence are male, but 90% of the homicides in this country are committed by men.

I feel like he targeted women - but frankly, this has just fallen off the radar of the news media - so there’s been no more analysis. I’ve been really saddened/disheartened to see no further coverage (who were the other victims who survived?) - not even here on Jez (thanks Jez for covering it today!).

This discussion isn’t about which gender is more likely to be victimized, it’s about who is doing the victimizing. Men.

Will Huckabee get elected? I doubt it — his performance in the current polls (admittedly months before the first actual election) is very lackluster. The candidates who have the strongest chance at this point are Donald Trump, Scott Walker, and Jeb Bush.

Almost like... he’s being... hunted

No. Women who sound like this sound terrible. I can’t speak for anyone else, but it ain’t just the bros. Women who speak like this may come across as uniformed and unintelligent in a professional setting. Trust, as someone who is well versed in code switching, its fine to sound like a Kardashian amongst your friends.

“ There is one area in which I think Paglia and I would agree that politically correct feminism has produced a noticeable inequity. Nowadays, when a woman behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we say, “Poor dear, it’s probably PMS.” Whereas, if a man behaves in a hysterical and disagreeable fashion, we

One woman: “That’s not enough to convince me. She’s probably lying.”
Two women: “Still not enough. Celebrities get falsely accused all the time.”
Three women: “They’re all just trying to get a quick buck out of a good man.”
Four women: “These false accusations need to stop. There’s no proof.”
Five women: “Okay, it’s

Never feel like your experience is invalid or incomplete or let anyone make you feel that way. Someone once told me that none of us ever perform victimhood perfectly enough for other people - your experience is yours and yours alone and you are the only one who can define it. Take care of yourself, love.

I’m an American living in England, and in the last few years we’ve had two high profile cases involving male celebrities who were rapists and child sexual abusers. First was media personality Jimmy Saville, who died a few years ago at the age of 84, before his crimes came fully to light. Hundreds of accusers of both

I don’t think you’re crazy or that anything is wrong with you. I think everyone deals with things differently. I have a similar situation. I was raped when I was 6 by an older cousin and I still see him from time to time at family gatherings. I don’t hate him. He’s a very broken person. I can’t excuse what he did to

That’s a really excellent point. If a female mass shooter had ever even just been a poster on Jezebel, or taken a few women’s studies courses in college, the media would be screaming about the feminazi killer. No one would be talking about mental illness. No one would be insisting that talking about her feminist

The stats don’t lie. This is how white men are taught to express their disgruntlement. Our culture celebrates it. You’ll find every single talking point in his rants, and the rants of most of these other mass shooters, in the 24-hour media spin cycle, with most of their audience secretly wishing they had the balls to

Calvin Floyd, a former talk show host in Columbus, Georgia told the newspaper that Houser appeared on his show, Rise and Shine, over a dozen times:

It’s still unknown whether or not Houser obtained the .40 caliber handgun he used to murder two women legally.

It’s almost like men are violent and hate women! Before a thousand men cry nooooooo not all me, How the fuck are we supposed to know what kind of man you are?

Of course he will. And Ms. Allred will NAIL HIS ASS TO THE WALL.

I want her to suck his soul from his withered corpse so that he collapses like a balloon right there on the stand.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait... you’re telling me that Gloria Allred gets to question Cosby under oath? There are not enough popcorn gifs in the world for this.

When I was in high school we had to pick an author and read their entire body of work. I picked Ursula K. Le Guin, all my copies were tattered second hand copies all stained with greasy thumb prints and ripped covers and I was in love with them so hard. In mind's eye even now I see myself curled up on the sofa and the
