Wow. You have willfully missed the point.

"It happened" - tell-tale sign of a guy who has no regrets or remorse. He doesn't take ownership of what he did at all, he talks about it like a third party bystander. Like it was something outside of his ability to control.

No, THIS argument is extremely dumb and has been disproved many times. What you are saying is that women provoke their rapes <i>merely by existing</i>. Because "slutty" is subjective, because "bad neighborhood" is subjective (not to mention, sometimes you HAVE to be in those neighborhoods because, I don't know, YOU…

Of course they're staged. I'm sure she put on makeup and was made to look nice before the shoot.

I'm going to give Burley the benefit of the doubt because in this context "without the makeup" may mean something more specific than "without makeup."

That makes perfect sense, thank you for the explanation. Some nimrod on YouTube claimed a fertilized egg "breaths, eats, sleeps and feels just a little differently than we do" and I couldn't figure out how anyone could flunk 9th grade Biology so badly.

I used to volunteer at an abortion clinic in high school.* The protesters who came would bring information (ahem...propaganda) to hand out and there was a pamphlet that was supposed to show development from fertilized egg to birth. The protesters were actually peaceful and mostly respectful, with the exception of the…

Everyone knows that adults are just fetal armor. No wait.

I knew exactly what you were trying to do. And you know what? It is the height of arrogance. You don't get to decide what I causes I champion. You don't get to decide what people on this site talk about. You don't get to decide that the thing you care about is more important than the thing the author wrote about. If…

Actually, male circumcision is practiced in a handful of places as well. It's on the decline in the US and I'm pretty sure we were the ones doing most of it.

I'm totally convinced. Who knows more about empirical science and female anatomy than the GOP. And from the same logic Obamacare should be repealed because:

Well, speaking as someone who is gay, a woman, and a minority, I think I have all the right to speak out on religion's oppressive force in my life. My people weren't allowed to marry or be affectionate in public because of religion. My people are not allowed to have abortions or sex lest be damned as sluts. And these…

Yes, but say that there were certain states where it was still technically a law that you couldn't hold office unless you liked sports, and that even in states where it wasn't the law, people running for office were expected to demonstrate that they were sufficiently dedicated to sports. What if people were awarded…

Remember everyone...what do we say to trolls?

Your comment just gave me the shivers. You are definitely speaking the truth. Once they've "othered" her, she loses her right to the protection and consideration afforded other young girls. It's the same sort of creepy sexualized thinking that permeates this whole conversation.

But she has lost the right to be a young girl in their eyes. She is a slut, that's different and means that it's ok to say and do things to her you would never do to a young girl.

Clearly it's women's job to solve this.

As an asian american woman myself, I hate the entitled attitude caucasian men have toward our bodies. It does not mean I dislike caucasian men in a racist manner, but in their attitudes in the court of race dynamics. They think that we will be docile subservient slaves to their desires. Accessory wives that are not as…

Right? I never reply to the idiots (well, almost never), but I want to say, "Great, point me towards any local, state, or federal legislation dealing with men's reproductive rights. I'd love to read about it. Oh-oh, what's that? Men don't seem to be concerned with their reproductive rights enough to legislate…
