Am I missing something? NYTimes basically quotes Bradley and an LA Times columnist who invokes the Duke rape case as the "con" side of Erdely's credibility. On the "pro" side, they quote journalism professors from USC and Columbia. That still reads to me as fairly pro. Both the Slate and NYT article referenced Bradley…

He heavily implies that she's making up the story because she's a woman being duped by strong emotions and biases. Instead of doing more research to address his grievances—like the article in Washington Post, where Erdely says that she kept some details quiet to protect the victim—he questions the integrity of her…

"Reading comprehension! I said the sexist WAY he's discrediting her work. It's not sexist to discredit the work of a female journalist because she did a shitty job. It IS sexist, however, to toss aside the hours and hours of work that the female journalist performed and assume that she let her emotions get the best of…

Not to mention the fucking sexist way he's discrediting the work of a woman journalist. She didn't do her homework, she's just letting her stupid lady-brain emotions run the show!

It sounds like he did alert someone—other people then intervened and put a stop to it.

It's not about warding off his evil nature, but rather counter-acting all the messages he may get from society/his peers.

Stress is a huge part of it—I've referred to it (when speaking with my boyfriend) as something that's "low-stakes." I'm studying for all this stuff, working all the time, so sometimes it makes me feel better to bop around Pinterest and fantasize about a time when my biggest stress isn't career related, but rather…

Maybe women err on the side of pride because they have been told that being female is bad for their entire life.

Here is a list of things I did in college:

I don't get how people can be mad that Cosby is facing social repercussions for all of this. He 100% deserves to be in jail—legally, morally—and you still have all these fucking morons running around saying we're being too hard on him. NO WE'RE NOT. The appropriate punishment is jail. He escaped that punishment, and…

Well psh, SOME of us suffer from the combo of:

Even though I think you're trolling, I'll respond because I'm curious to examine my own line of logic.

Isn't it called coital alignment technique or something? I'm pretty sure that's what I gravitated to naturally, it it literally works every time.

Not gonna lie, I have eyes that look like Renee's old ones when I smile, so her and Jlaw kinda made me feel like it was OK to genuinely smile in photographs, even if my eyes get small. Oh well...

I wasn't trying to be obtuse, I do understand that there is a huge issue with intersecting racial and gender and other areas of privilege. I think that the white women/black men interaction is particularly fraught, because (I think W. Kamal Bell said this) white women and black men have 1 best and 1 worst thing going…

I can't imagine what it would feel like to deviate from the norm in that way, but so many hours of listening to Savage Love give me hope that this guy could totally have a fulfilling sexual relationship if he gets some good therapy and a loving partner. Online dating + early disclosure + intersex and other communities…

I guess an accurate comparison would be that a white woman is raped by a black student (and he is found guilty, it's a really slam dunk case, etc.). The news coverage, however, is disproportionately focused on accusing her of being racist because of some tweets that she sent a while ago and that's how the defense…

Hell yeah they fucked up. But I feel like the conversation became all about men, and about how the video wronged men. Once again, WOC are totally forgotten.
