Violence would make you feel better. Would it do anything positive for your daughters?

Yeah, I guarantee that if a boy had been drunk, jumped in the pool in his underwear and woke up being raped, this judge when throw the book at the rapist. The fact these old-school POS people treat the crime differently depending on the victim proves they aren’t fit to do these jobs. 

I’ve gone to celebrities’ hotel rooms and done substances and not been raped because the celebrities who invited me to their rooms weren’t rapists.

You act like predators are not choosing their victims. But they are. You are right about women throwing themselves at celebrities. That’s what makes these stories so awful! He probably had a great many willing partners to choose from but instead he chose to rape. And the predator was careful about choosing his prey.…

It’s pretty interesting that I never hear this kind of talk on stories about male victims regardless of who their gender of their abuser is. I’ve also never seen video on what man need to know not be raped.

Fine, do you want a handclap or a pat on the back? You’re right. If you don’t know someone well you shouldn’t go to their house after a date, especially the first few dates, if you don’t want to have sex. It doesn’t matter if they have amazing books, shiny beads, or candy. Now we all the fucking know that. Oh, men…

All I can really say is thank you for the writeup, Ashley. She was wonderful and a tremendous force and her loss will be felt.

“And we deserve to be taken seriously.”

Let me translate for you what you sound like to people who have been in worse financial spots than you: “Fuck ‘em, it’s their fault for being too stupid to not just buy money cheaper somewhere else, lazy assholes”

Ahhh yes. It’s so easy to have dealerships provide pricing over the web. They never withhold it from you telling you that you have to come to the dealership to discuss pricing.

Because sometimes - in fact, most of the time - it has little to do with people not understanding how finances and loan rates work and very much to do with unfortunate circumstances that you couldn’t possibly predict and may not have enough resources to overcome.

Let’s turn that around: do you believe in any level of corporate responsibility? At what point do companies need to show responsibility to their customers and the communities in which they do business, rather than sole responsibility to chasing short term profits and dividends for shareholders? We use very, very, very…

Because the wealthiest sectors of society continue to make billions off the backs of everyone else, while constantly saying “well you should have known better.”

That’s assuming those with bad credit are able to shop around. If you’re poor, your choices become limited real quick. If they don’t have a functioning vehicle, how are they supposed to shop around?

You are correct, lenders are not holding a gun to their head saying they have to take these rates. BUT, we live in a country where we have outsourced our transit to the private sector in most places, so if you want a job, you need a car. If you want to get your kids to school, you need a car. If you want to basically…

Because the wealthiest sectors of society continue to make billions off the backs of everyone else, while constantly saying “well you should have known better.” It’s not sustainable, and when it falls apart, it’s going to hurt everyone.

At some point we need to stop expecting consumers to become experts in any field they want to do business in, and start expecting companies to act ethically and in good faith.

I was raped as a preteen. I’d already experienced several instances of sexual violence, some with boys and one with a man. But looking back that shit was ubiquitous. One of my friends had a kid hold a knife to her throat until she let him grope her breasts. She wore loose tops for the rest of middle school after that, …

putting the victims of sexual assault before his brother, his own public image and his family? Seriously, what pie-in-the-sky world do you live in?

A non-activist organization. Okay, how about your government’s National Institute of Justice:
