...she'd been forced to perform oral sex on five men (not raped by seven, as the RS story states)...

Well, there's not always a source because there's no reason to do a big study here, we know that's not how the body works, which all the experts here agreed with. As I also pointed out in the article, it's IMPOSSIBLE to study any of the claims from these detoxes because none of them give specifics.

The scientific burden is not to prove that something is not beneficial. The burden is on the promoters of the cleanses to establish that they are. They have not met that burden.

You don't need to be "properly objective" when something is just flat out wrong. There's no such thing as a "toxin" a juice could get rid of which couldn't already be handled by your organs. When something as farcical as a cleanse is discussed it's far better to give it ZERO credence than to even suggest that there…

That sounds really hard, I'd rather just drink some tea and poop my way to healthy living

It's not just you. It's written by a bunch of indignant freaks.

YES YES YES YES BREAKING ARIANA BABY NEWS

On the other hand, THIIIIIIIIS.

But ultimately to use a specific story as the centerpiece for a broader discussion about rape on campus, the facts as you report them need to be accurate. Not because we should need stories to acknowledge the macro statistics that indicate there is clearly a huge problem, but because for most of the broader public to…

I don't think you know how statistics work. Plenty of data show rape is an underreported crime (so very few rapes are reported). By extrapolation there's no possible way to believe that somehow a larger percentage rapes "not reported" are false allegations. "False" accusations as reported by police also include things…

Remember though, Randall is a dude and everything he says must be true. Jackie is a woman, and she says she was raped, so she must be lying.

I am a "swaddled Grande" truther, only because I refuse to dispense with the mental image of Grande swaddled up in a fleece blanket, being rocked lovingly by a 6'6"+ former marine of a bodyguard.

"Ariana Grande denies that she gets carried around like a little baby" is possibly the greatest headline ever. That is all.

This shows the way in which we are so vested in picking apart victims's testimony about their rapes, adamant that they have unassailable crystal clear versions of events even if they can't because the events themselves are traumatic, hazy, and might be too horrible to remember (Like Lena Dunham's Buzzfeed piece…

Maybe it isn't that Jackie is the "wrong person to represent" and actually this article is a complete clusterfuck. .

From Slate:

If only journalists put as much effort attempting to prove somebody was raped as they have, here, trying to prove somebody wasn't.

Calling him "bud/buddy" was my clue it was Northern US/Canadian.

I was thinking the same thing. I bet she was initially upset or at least shocked, and then was like, eh....too late, lets run with this.

That mom is hilarious. I'm happy she took it in stride and didn't get upset.
