So basically he wants WI schools to stop receiving Title IX funds (federal financial aid) which would shut down higher education in the state.

There are no policy recommendations in Walker's budget how or what would replace these reporting mechanisms. The Governor simply instructs that they should be deleted.

WTF. So if we just don't keep track of them, rapes will no longer exist, then? Well, problem solved. That fucker.

No, it makes perfect sense. If you don't report the numbers, you can't compare which schools have the highest reported rates of sexual assaults. If you can't compare schools, you can't attempt to make informed decisions about which schools are safest, or at least have the best track record of dealing with these

I'm not sure the concerns of potentially stifling creative work apply when "sexy female enemy" "helpless woman" are extremely common trophes. That is to say, she's arguing for less of the status quo...and if the response is "BUT MY CREATIVITY," well...hate to break it to the developer, but those specific ideas aren't

This was a very interesting article and something that hits close to home. My current boyfriend, whom I adore and my family adores, comes from a different background then I do and sometimes he struggles with it.

"THE WAY I HAVE MISREPRESENTED HER OPINIONS AND ARGUMENTS IS BAD, THEREFORE HER ARGUMENTS AND OPINIONS ARE ALSO BAD."

My first boyfriend's parents and my husband's parents both grew up under similar circumstances—farming communities, living off the land, not dirt poor but by no means well-off. They both came into big money as adults, and now act as though everyone else should be able to do the same.

It was a bit overwhelming for me. I consider my family to be very loving, but we are reserved, liberal, Midwestern WASPs. My fiance's family is huge, Southern, loud and open. It can be wonderful, but it was also a moment of culture shock when I met them and I can only take small doses before needing to seek out some

I tend to date people with a lower socioeconomic background because I agree with them more politically and we tend to have similar interests. (My family wasn't speed-boat owning rich, but we were pretty good). I am the black sheep of my family. Example: my sister can't imagine living alone on under 50k* a year.

So what you're saying is American women simply need to a) not wear bras, b) not have kids, and c) not breast feed kids, and they will never sag or experience breast pain from activity?

I'm just going to copy and paste what I said on a Gawker article, because my opinion remains the same:

In short, the 40 year old virgin was asked to design the breasts.

"I feel threatened now, which isn't fair. Sure she felt threatened, too, but it wasn't a real threat, which she had no way of knowing because I purposely made it look like a real threat. I don't understand!"

Aw, poor guy. Karma's a bitch, huh? Sorry, I seem to have misplaced my tiny violin.

But hey, maybe they are "just kidding around" too, so he really has no business worrying about it, right?

I am so fucking sick of these children who harass and threaten women but then the second the tables turn they're like "wahhh omg it's really serious and I am scared!" They have no empathy or intelligence at all/they think women aren't people. I'm just sick of it. Fuck these manchildren.

"Kidding Around"

And he says — wait for it — that he's now being harassed by Gamergate and fears for his safety.

There was this guy today at the cafe, where we were the only two people in the room, and he kept on staring at me, while I was eating, doing homework, and using the phone. And as I was using Tinder, I saw his profile, it was quite racially charged and full of fetishization (think confederate flags, Yellow Fever,
