How for every disturbing story on this site the comments are filled with things like “that’s enough internet for me today” or pictures of kittens and puppies? Is everyone here really that fragile that they can’t even read about the horrors of the world without having a breakdown? It’s not a good look for women.

I’m not talking about Chinese high school graduates. The mean years of schooling in the U.S. is 12.9. The mean years of schooling in China is 7.5 (up from 3.7 35 years ago, which is why China isn’t really making t-shirts anymore). And yes, the comparative advantage is wages, but wages are only relevant to the consumer…

Exactly! And, like, IT’S 2016. NO ONE CARES IF YOU LIKE FINGERS IN YOUR BUTT, KANYE.

I think this calls for a new Kanye themed South Park episode.

How dare you.

“Don’t hijack the thread”

Conversations often include exchange of similar lines of thought.

I would agree that torture, murder, most forms of purposefully inflicted great bodily harm are pretty vicious. However, falsely accusing someone of rape not only imperils their freedom, but also subjects them to more-than-speculative harm of being sexually assaulted—perhaps regularly—by other inmates who would go out…

You should actually look at the case. These women called this man a pedophile (with no proof), he lost his job (as a graphic designer) and these women were just as aggressive and in the wrong as he was. There’s absolutely no reason he should have been convicted of jail time. The transcripts show just how fucking…

I’m a feminist, but did you actually read the court documents? Hillary Coker is seriously simplifying things.

One doesn’t have to be an MRA to be terrified of a society where there is a low bar to be charged with an online crime such as this.

Offensive, vulgar, and wrong is thankfully not enough to get a person convicted of a crime.

Why is it that everytime someone has an opinion you don’t like, then they’re MRA’s?

“Does this feel like judicial mansplaining to anyone else?”

Is this a serious comment?


eta: Channeling basic principles of proving the alleged offense here.

You can be afraid without there being any real reason to be afraid, and that’s okay. The law doesn’t need to step in and punish someone else for your fear, unless there’s a compelling reason.

Your the one making a big deal about this. Calm the fuck down.

What is so terrible about saying that at 14? I’m kind of scared by the degree of asshole-ishness that people are expressing over a harmless tweet by a 14 year-old.

She’s 14. Calm your tits.

THANK YOU.

“Lots.” “Very often.” “How it’s been explained to me.” This comment wouldn’t even pass the Wikipedia muster. But I guess one can find outrage anywhere, so long as one looks hard enough.
