OMG. I'm so sorry.

I think I understand why Sulkowicz wrote what she wrote to him, but I truly don't understand what she thinks the university or anyone else is supposed to do about it. The only two people who know what happened are her and the guy, but if she has no evidence, whether physical or circumstantial, there's not a whole hell

I'm both a victim of rape and of child abuse. I have written kind words to my teenaged abuser (whom I believe to be a good adult now), but I sincerely have tons of trouble with the idea of telling my acquaintance rapist, weeks after the rape, that I need to have a "NonServiam-Rapist love sesh" because I haven't seen

I have to admit, I found Cathy's piece yesterday credible. I didn't recognize her byline, and I couldn't imagine why a woman would say she loved somebody who raped her or suggest hanging out with him. The longer transcripts and Emma's explanations put my concerns in context. It looks like she was trying to pull away

Fairly consistently, outed trolls on Twitter have been middle to upper-middle-class white teenage boys. You see a steady decline as you go up the age range, although the "white dude" thing tends to stick.

After seeing what happened to that poor, brave pilot, these guys would have to have nuts the size of beach balls to go in on the ground and risk capture.

It would be really interesting to develop accurate profiles of typical trolls: age, background, education, income, gender.

Sad. Sad. Sad. This child never had a chance. Addiction kills all. Jobs. Families. Loved ones.

We don't agree often but I'm totally behind this. I get frustrated with people who say things like this and it really doesn't make you any better than the super religious people who are saying shit like that about non-believers.

You say we're oversensitive...yet it's you who send rape threats, sit for hours on 4chan trading sexist bile, send random food/boxes/etc, and try to swat anyone who doesn't agree with your bigoted views. If anyone is oversensitive, it's you. We're just trying to exist here.

Ah yes, instead they just like, shoot people and stuff because WHY CAN'T THESE WOMEN SEEEEE HOW AMAZING I AM?!?!?!?

I swear to God. it's apparently going to take someone being murdered for being a woman in the media for things to change.

Don't buy a girl a drink if you haven't talked to her yet. You see this shit in movies and it works, so maybe if you're George Clooney you can ignore this. But in real life it never works, it comes off as creepy and makes the girl feel uncomfortable. Talk to her first.

I would just die a million happy deaths if I had your hair. Like for reals.

As a fellow black woman with poofy amounts of hair Collier you are a better person than me I wish someone would ask me to control my hair...I would see red and wake up in jail lol. This was beautifully written and I hope it didn't ruin the opera for you. Also solid point about people of color being played by white

If this man complains about your hair, I'd love to hear what he says about the ridiculous middle age white lady bouffant updos you see in Texas. (Probably nothing, because he's a racist asshole.)

"Well, I dunno," Williams says, innocently. "You have a crazy-ass job, sir."

Oh, yes. Brilliant. Force a child either go on hormones or to have an IUD placed by getting in the stirrups. That's an excellent plan to make her feel completely violated.
