Um, if you are convincing a black out drunk girl to have sex with you, you are not having sex with someone that has properly consented.

Yep. That quote from the judge -

If anything this will just embolden him, and all other rapists like him. All they have to do is take a sip of beer and they won’t go to ‘real’ prison.

The thing is, they didn’t even HAVE to listen to women. There were two men that saved her, chased him off, and acted as eyewitnesses to his crime, but his welfare is still prioritized before hers. And arguably, before the welfare of his next potential victim.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

We still threaten to leave ungreatful pre-teens on the side of the road mostly to make fun of them (it is often over the unfortunate music choices my husband and I make, natch) but we would never have ever DONE IT. And we usually just say things like, “Welp, it’s gonna be a long walk in the rain but we could drop you…

Right? “We know a man did a bad thing because he hated women, but DON’T HATE MEN. Oh, no one is hating on men? OKAY WELL DON’T START. It would hurt our feelings and that’s WAY worse than hate crimes against women.” - Those protesters, basically.

I mean, yes, of course they still have violence against women. But they also have lower incidents of fatality. According to one study, “Women in the U.S. are 11x more likely to be murdered with guns than women in other high-income countries.”Source: http://www.thehotline.org/resources/fire…

Don’t forget the 24 year-old teacher tied to a cinder block at the bottom of a pond:

AND, if you think it is sexist, then you are sexist.

Another one I missed, which a reader just emailed me: Man shoots his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend, and himself. The shooter in this case died, while his ex survived and is in stable condition. Her boyfriend is in critical condition.

Also, didn’t you hear about that woman who killed a man that one time? It totally happens both ways so it can’t be sexist.

No no no, silly woman. Don’t get hysterical. This is all just about mental illness. Not everything is misogyny. These men, while rapists and murderers, certainly weren’t misogynistic. No, to admit they were is a bridge too far and unfairly besmirches them. They never admitted they killed women because of sexism. And…

If you are thinking of executing a murder/suicide, just reverse the order. I promise it will still work.

I once made the mistake of referring to my dog as my baby (as in, “here’s an old picture of my baby Ruby when she was just a puppy....”) and people JUMPED ON MY ASS about it. Yes, I know my dog isn’t a literal baby. The razor teeth and roundworms were kind of a giveaway.

I co-slept with my eldest until he was three and now co-sleep with my two year old (big brother sometimes joins us in the middle of the night). My husband sleeps in the guest room. I have received endless flak from family and friends about this, but guess what? I get to sleep through the night, every night. My kids…

here come dat boi!!!

I recently met someone who went to the same high school as I did. She was a couple of grades ahead but we played “jewish geography” until we stumbled onto a few people. Then she asked me if I knew X. Well, I did, and I also knew that he, at 17, had been involved with a 23 year old teacher. I didn’t offer the info. She…

Also this may have been a clue to his violent tendencies:
