Do you have the slightest fucking clue what goes in to working a job like this? (Rhetorical question — I know you don’t.) We’re trained in picking up nonverbal cues and intimations; even a hint at perversion like that would be detected by somebody (especially at my current job at a children’s shelter, which is staffed…

This. Now THIS is some intelligent, high-level trolling.

Like dress up day at Gawker Media.

If you base your “allyship” and “feminism” on what internet commenters say, you were never either.

Also, can we stop calling them ‘honor killings’? It’s murder, plain and simple. The root of the motive may be sexist, patriarchal cultural ideas, but it’s still murder. Calling it ‘honor killings’ implies there a legitimate reason for it, or that culture can be used an excuse. It cannot.

IT’S NOT RELIGION. IT’S MISOGYNY. YEAH I’M SCREAMING AND I’M GOING TO KEEP SCREAMING. MEN HATE US. WHETHER THAT TAKES A RELIGIOUS FACE OR A SECULAR FACE, THAT’S THE PROBLEM. OR ARE YOU GOING TO TELL US HOW LUCKY WE ARE BECAUSE OUR LOVERS/HUSBANDS KILL US INSTEAD OF OUR BROTHERS AND FATHERS (WHO ONLY STOPPED DOING IT,…

MISOGYNY is poison and it kills women by the thousands every day. Take the fundamentalism away, you will still have misogyny. It finds a different container (viz Atheist bros). MISOGYNY is everywhere in every belief and non-belief system. It’s bigger than fundamentalism by far. I’ll die fighting this war and it won’t…

You mean, other than abortion clinic bombings, church shootings, forcing gay kids into conversion therapy that ends in suicides, and countless women forced to carry pregnancies that sometimes end in death to the mother? And before you tell me those aren’t “honor killings,” yes they are. All of these Fundamentalist…

“Thought she was being overdramatic”.

I hate men.

I hadn’t read J.A.’s post. I’d heard about it, but hadn’t gotten around to it. I checked it out through this post because I though that reading it would help me better understand some of the points I thought were being made.

I don’t know but I think it’s pretty low to call her a walking benzo.

I have no problem saying this, but it still hurts. I was sexually abused when I was the same age as these boys, and I understand the world of hell they have gone through. I told no one. I questioned my manhood, I blamed myself, the psychological and spiritual destruction continue to this day. Later in life I did tell…

Really? Because I hear his thirst from here, and it sounds like it’s only barely started getting quenched.

This is local for me. Chances are this will never get out of the greys, but the Rochester police also arrested two of the three reporters who were interviewing this woman. Coincidentally, they just happened to arrest the black reporters.

First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is…

Considering almost nothing has actually changed, why would they care?
