He did do a year, a whole year(!), in jail. But they never reported it so he could still buy the guns. Men always protect other men.

Publicly outing accusers is a powerful thing, if for no other reason than it lets other victims know they’re not alone and they don’t need to be afraid. Solidarity is helpful toward a victim’s healing.

All of this.

Publicly outing rapists is A Good Thing even if they aren’t prosecuted.

It actually makes complete sense once you realize that feminism today is just the patriarchy in sheep’s clothing. The only women’s issues that matter are issues that “help men too”. Feminists have convinced themselves that men are somehow “victims” of the patriarchy who must be rescued because apparently it makes men…

Stop this bullshit already. Males are not suffering because women are beaten, raped, or killed.

I read it as domestic violence is a symptom of the overall attitude that society has regarding women and girls. It is a symptom indicating a disease in society in general. Not that we should care merely because it affects other people besides women.

IMO any person who ignores women who are victims of domestic violence is misogynistic. There is no way around it. And people who think that solution is that you separate violent men from their families are not far away from women hating. Anybody who cares about women and their human rights would want a strong…

Just to add, this point of view is depressingly often expressed on Jezebel by so called “feminists”. I remember some article about man beating up woman in front of their child, and some “feminist” on Jezebel was saying that it is not that awful when a man tries to kill/beat up women and that he doesn’t have to go to…

Yet another example of why it’s bullshit that anyone should ever ask questions like, “well what were they wearing and how did they present themselves?”

I made the mistake yesterday of getting into some online discussions with gun enthusiasts about how there needs to be additional legislation passed to properly screen potential gun buyers/ owners, and I got the usual replies- Chicago laws, too many guns out there already, 2nd amendment for defense against gov’t…

The world never fails to display all the disgusting ways that society dehumanizes women.

Yes, but at the same time I despise the notion that we should care about violence against women, only when others are in danger too.

I’m sure all the Fathers of Daughters are beginning to consider the possibility of a potential concern.

Not gonna work.

Violence against women by men should be considered a hate crime.

One of the major commonalities with these mass shooters, besides being male, is having a history of domestic violence. I hope that this is a wake-up call for some people to realize that domestic violence isn’t just a “women’s” issue, but a societal issue that needs to be taken seriously. Just like all other issues…

No, absolutely not. It does not matter how much they are paid or how much they are in the public eye. Having naked images of you stolen and then being blackmailed to prevent their release is 100% NOT part of their job.

Yes please! Everything is either super cheap and flimsy or expensive and still kind of flimsy.

Ugh - wouldn’t that be awful? I’ve never gotten that feeling from either of them, but you never know what with Justin’s emerging religious devotion.
