Sadly there are plenty of other people - including black women - that are more than okay with viewing these girls and women as, at best, willing participants and at worst sluts and gold diggers.

You’re right. The lack of attention paid to women and girls of color is disgusting. So much apathy and victim blaming. And for these poor girls, there won’t be real justice. I hope they all flee from him and are given serious counseling. Being a victim of sexual violence is so prevalent in this country, it attracts…

His victims are mainly Black women and girls, so the national media didn’t have much interest. They don’t even care when we’re murdered. It has taken Black women like Tarana Burke and others calling him out for them to take notice.

This is my issue with the Handmaid’s Tale. ^^

So has the word “Empowerment” lost all meaning yet?

And how about Lindsay Lohan or any of the numberless women who were made to Go Away because they’re “difficult”? Is the culture shifting over to make room for them, or does it only do that for men?

I think now is a good time to remind everyone that it took Winona Ryder more than a decade to get redemtption....for SHOPLIFTING.

Reaching out and listening to women count as redemption? Claiming you learned something, without saying what you learned, means you can have your powerful job back?

Oh, STFU, WaPo. The one-child policy wouldn’t have had this effect if people didn’t consider female babies to be trash. THAT is the problem.

Whatever happens, it probably won’t be good for women...

The USSR had a huge surplus of women post-WWII and the women there somehow managed to survive without trafficking men from other countries.  

Yeah, people have been talking about the growing crop of “broken branches” in China for well over a decade. There’s always been one surefire way to get rid of a society’s surplus males, and it’s far less effective now with modern technologies. Only an extremely large, protracted, non-nuclear war can produce the…

It’s telling how just the title “Too Many Men” is foreboding. The brief “only rarely have sex” is a chilling omen in 4 words, a direct threat to the safety of millions of women.

The solution is more man-eating predators.

I keep forgetting that jail and prison are two different things.

Well, the vast majority (90 to 80%) of cis inmates are straight, so . . . the female inmates aren’t likely to be assaulting each other. But a man pretending to be trans certainly would. And there have been many cases of problems with policies like this one, off the top of my head there was a man claiming to be trans…

I don’t want to jump to any conclusions, but it almost seems as if the people asking the most obvious, or most asinine questions didn’t bother to take the initiative to even glance at the source material before asking their silly questions. Almost.

I think that a man might want to claim to be transgender not because he thinks that a women’s facility is “more comfortable,” but rather that it would bee safer than a man’s prison. I am a slightly built man and yeah, I would feel more safe in a women’s prison.

That man is going to be a danger to female inmates, so yes he’s a “bad actor”.

This is very concerning. As someone who works with formerly incarcerated women, I am very concerned for the safety and wellbeing of female inmates, the majority of whom are trauma survivors. There have already been problems with housing trans identified males in women’s facilities in the U.K. and US- women being…
