What a fucking snowflake.
What a fucking snowflake.
Seriously, though, how much lazier could this journalism be?
“You would rather perpetuate propaganda machines instead of researching information from a host of angles and perspectives while being willing to learn, change, and grow.”
I’m so happy H. Chung kicked his ass.
Fowler: [He’s been] thrust in the spotlight,
As a straight cis white male, over the past few years I’ve come to find that, yep, rape culture is absolutely a thing. Nobody gives a shit, this is so much quieter than Penn State. Hell, they were dressed like they wanted it, right?
Hi, serious question here, not because I want MSU to suffer like hell here; how is there not a criminal investigation going on of there covering for an abuser for two decades? Or is there and I just haven’t seen news about it?
Not a doctor, or a woman, but here’s a thing.
There are indeed one or two legit reasons for an osteopath to stick his fingers into a woman’s vagina, but it’s extremely rare and never done without explaining it to the patient first and asking if they are OK with it, and gloves are always worn. There is zero reason to do it without gloves to young girls who are not…
There is a medical procedure that involves feeling inside a woman to find out the strength of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles become weakened after great abdominal stress (like childbirth). It falls within the realm of physical therapy. But the doctor should always be wearing gloves and should always have the…
Not just this coach, but the gymnastics team trainer, Nasser’s supervisor who was a physician, and the four doctors from the Title IX investigation all heard about this “medical procedure.”
I assumed it was because it was discovered during trial that one of the accusers was receiving improper benefits.
OH GOOD AFTER A WEEK OF HORROR STORIES ABOUT DECADES OF ABUSE THE NCAA IS GOING TO LOOK INTO IT! THANKS GUYS! YOU’RE DOING A GREAT JOB!
A cross country runner said she told athletic trainers and staff in 1999 about a hamstring “treatment” in which Nassar penetrated her vagina, but she said she was told that he was a doctor who “knew what he was doing.
“I have high expectations and high standards and I am passionate about coaching our gymnasts to realize their full potential.”
As a former competitive gymnast in the state of Michigan this does not surprise me one bit. Geddert was known to be terrible to his gymnasts, and even being a competitor in the same arena I knew and saw from a young age that he was someone who was prone to yelling at his gymnasts, throwing things, etc. I remember my…
When I was a waitress it only bothered me if you wanted extra pacts of sugar and 10 lemons to make lemonade. I hate those people.
The sexualisation of the sport of gymnastics is part of the problem here. These girls were children and athletes, not “half-naked little girls contorting themselves.” I feel very strongly that these girls’ stories weren’t taken seriously for a long time partially because of the sexism that’s so deeply entangled with…
I’m still trying to figure out exactly what you think Simon did wrong? She suspended Nassar and opened a Title IX investigation. What else was she supposed to do with the information she had?
Luvvie Ajayi had a great take on this story—there’s a pay discrepancy in play here, and Sykes and Mo’Nique deserve a lot more that what they were offered. I’m not sure they should have Amy Schumer money simply based on box office power—a little different than a resumé—at this point in time. But they deserve A LOT more…
