My daughter was recently raped under similar circumstances at a state college. It took her several months to admit to herself that she was not to blame. In a premeditated rape by three athletes, one of whom she'd "hooked up with" previously.

I am glad to see this happening, because for a long time there has been this very weird, illogical stigma of "shame" attached to victims of sexual abuse.

Erin, the only thing that changes this is good men, good fathers who view their daughters and other women as equal and worthy human beings free to make their own responsible sexual choices. As a man, a school counselor, this shit disgusts me to no end. What the fuck are we teaching our male children? And what are…

I would like to share this blog entry that was written after the Steubenville assault.

I live in Ga and this was on the news. They had a segment about the people rallying around the victim. It was definitely refreshing to hear.

What an ass-hat of an attorney.

God, that poor young woman. I just can't. But David Cook, the columnist, is my new favorite person.

I really don't think it's fair to blame this on "the Internet," though. Slender Man is basically just a story told around a digital campfire [wheeze at my own cliches]. As people are pointing out elsewhere in the comments, it's like Bloody Mary or the Boogieman, but disseminated online. Like I said, maybe they were…

Time to call the Dynamic Duo !

Really? I've worked on a couple of films and editorial shoots with this guy and he's been nothing but nice and polite, even when people aren't looking.

Wow, and if they had read a book about Peter Pan and decided to jump out a window and try to fly, does that mean unsupervised reading is bad? Too many stupid people.

I think we can all agree that the use of the that term is abhorrent. But as some other commenters have mentioned, this kind of hateful language used to be the norm just a few years ago. Go back and watch Superbad, which came out in 2007 I think? It's is littered with that word. Or 16 Candles, admittedly an older…

I saw the police make an announcement this morning, he said that this is an example of why children should not have unsupervised access to the internet. Couldn't he have just as easily reached the conclusion that there should be more early diagnoses and available help for children with mental illnesses?

"I said a disgusting word that does not at all reflect how I feel about a group of people... I'm not at all defending my choice of words, but I am happy to be the poster boy for thinking about what you say... It would break my heart for anyone to think, especially with all the work that I've done and all the loved…

I think he would agree with you, judging from his apology

I met him once when he was touring to promote Super Bad. It was before most people really knew who he was and Micheal Cera was getting most of the attention because he was on Arrested Development. I had no idea who Michael Cera was but I thought Jonah Hill was great in Accepted so I kind of fan-girled out when I met…

I've decided to boycott everything as a precautionary measure.

I agree. I think that even people who are progressive, who believe in equality (racial, economic, gender ,orientation, etc.), may still carry the oppressive language they grew up with, that they were instilled with, and it comes out in times when we're desperate to verbally hurt someone we believe is hurting or…

Hate to break it to you but if you "boycotted" a movie every time an actor in said movie did something you disagreed with you'd never ever see a movie again.

I agree that this is horrific, but would you really not have them tried as adults? They almost killed someone, and not even as like a heat-of-the-moment fight, but as straight up, pre-meditated murder. I wouldn't want this treated any differently than if they'd been 18.
