Idea for next March Madness: kinja vs. other terrible things.

I can tell you're upset because of how you're using capital letters.

Wait

My face actually got flushed when I read cake vs. pie. Motherfucker.

MEMES ARE BEATING TWITTER FIGHT I don't even know these fucking people voting.

The couple will, of course, save money on an officiant because they've gotten ordained so they can perform each one of their 38 weddings by themselves, which is sweet. (NOPE! STILL BULLSHIT! ALSO NOT A THING!) (NOT A THING!)

I'm trying not to judge in case there are details she left out, but....yeah, I had that thought as well. I can't get down with construing the offer of a conversation as a "shut it down" threat, barring other info.

I think if their goal was conversation, they really should have been aware of how they might be perceived and approached her differently — sent her an email offering to have a conversation with a third party mediator, or just the captain could have come over, etc. But I will say that bit left a bad taste in my mouth…

This is a great piece. One of the things it highlights, for me, is that raising outside and/or internal attention around issues like sexual assault, harassment, and student misconduct in general isn't really enough to guarantee good institutional policy. If the issue is just being under a microscope, schools might be…

These bros and bro-ettes love nothing better than putting on a Confederate uniform or hoop skirt and anti-belluming it up, trying to recall the "good ole' days".

Their last post congratulates the class of 2018 for joining Pi Kappa Phi, which, they write, "reinforces academic pursuits, gentlemanly behavior, development of leadership, personal ethics, and offers the advantages of team effort and support."

It's a great place for a Jay Smooth "what you are" vs. "what you did" breakdown. Nobody cares that you think you aren't a sexist, dude — what you said was super fucking sexist.

This was my experience too. We learned about condoms and BC in health class at my Catholic girl's high school.

This a really normal thing. In most religions people pick and choose how to interpret "doctrine," or how important it is to follow all the rules. I also went to a Catholic girl's high school, and nobody really told us BC was wrong — we talked about condoms and the pill in health class, with no moralizing. There are a…

You seem to have dismissed my comment? I'm confused about why....

I can't buy into this entirely. It's almost like you're supposed to be neutered for the rest of your life. We are humans, not cattle.

I actually thought Sullivan's statement was pretty solid, given that she's probably trying to juggle communications with state and local agencies/offices AND her own campus while toeing the legal lines. The important thing is what she did, which is pretty much the best thing someone with her power could have done —…

As depressing and fucked as the Eric Garner non-indictment was, I would still argue that filming "helped" in that it put it in front of the public and made it harder for people who'd otherwise be wishy-washy to justify non-engagement. People know Garner's name now, and that's something — if his name (like Brown and…

I kind of suspected as much. Ugh.

To me, it's an indicator of how police departments have gotten more concerned about protecting themselves in court than actual good policing. It's almost beside the point that in no universe is this kid resisting arrest — cops know that "STOP RESISTING" is code for "reasonable doubt."
