On #notallmen:

Here at Jezebel, anyone who doesn't toe the line is labelled a misogynist. This is a weird world, where words are defined a little differently- not to make communication of ideas clearer, but rather, to make the words more weaponized. In other words, you aren't doing yourslef a favor by trying to be rational in this…

Even if these men are right that certain backwards thinking behavior is natural, that doesn't make it right. Knowing what's natural can help us form our moral compasses, but it doesn't define them.

Cold play reminds me of U2, only Coldplay wasn't good before they started to suck.

"...I would say it's a hundred times harder for every adult person—not just pop stars—to dream the dreams they dreamt when they were nine because the reality of adulthood is much different than the expectations of adulthood."

There is more than a small chance that this rapist will never see the inside of a jail cell, however, his deceitful tactics have left him open to another kind of punishment.
