She's a 24-year old who's sole job has been "actress" since high school, right? I mean, yes, she probably isn't good at much else but why should she be? I would suspect most 24 year olds aren't good at anything so she's ahead of the curve. When I was 24 I had a college degree and was still pretty incompetent at…

I agree it does seem low, particularly in light that one of the questions they asked regarded harassment in public to the extent of feeling unsafe.
Since Jezebel is jumping into the discussion an inexplicable 3 years after the study was released, that campaign already happened. While predictably a lot of the criticism was stupid, their campaign was helped by the CDC really dropping the ball with how they investigated rape and sexual violence particularly, in a…
You're an idiot. Just being buzzed doesn't vitiate consent, but it's irrelevant because she specifically and explicitly did not consent.
The CDC distinguishes between sexual violence generally and rape, though, listing a much higher prevalence of the latter.
"While it's true that men and women don't face the same amount of pressure when it comes to idealized body image, it's also true that men are sensitive about size."
I have never really understood that belief; "because you want to see boobs, you can ONLY want to see boobs." Kind of like a lot of women argue that because a guy wants to have sex with them, he cannot possibly be interested in anything else, like sexual desire is the only state a man can have in his head. It's a…
You really consider yourself "pliable"?
As long as you don't expect people to put up with your bullshit at the same time.
Wow. Ectogenesis has been a hotly-debated topic in feminist philosophy for decades:
I absolutely agree that women are also susceptible to this kind of violence. I was just pointing outthat statistically men are more prone to it. There seems to be this narrative on jezebel that men are completely oblivious to the risk of violence and I was just arguing against that narrative.
Possible, but unlikely. Sex offenders are monitored in a way that other offenders are not, post-incarceration. In any event, the low recidivism rates has been documented through many studies and it seems a stretch to believe that all of these researchers had bad methodologies.
Actually, on Jezebel a far more common question is 'why don't men standing by intercede?' and I think this is a better answer to that more frequent question. While women are justifiably more aware than men of the risk of sexualized violence in public, men tend to be more aware of the threat of generalized…
Frankly, I'm glad burner account IP addresses aren't recorded. Im any event, why not just require a certain number of comments over a certain period of time before photo linking is enabled.
I don't consider him to have raped a teen; I consider him to have raped a child.
It's actually textbook sociopathy.
Recruiting a high profile CONVICTED sex offender? Not going to happen.
His career will end at high school. Do you think any college or NFL team would go near him?
Sex offenders actually have a very low rate of recidivism; not sure why the opposite is so widely believed.
