Yeah, I think it's a phase a lot of women go through. I was totally a Cool Girl in high school. I thought that because I like football, video games, comics, and prefer whiskey to vodka I was different from the OTHER girls. I thought I could only get along with my select fellow Cool Girl friends as far as women went…

"Why do women string men along and make men think they're interested instead of giving us an honest answer?"

God, well if she could have just learned to take it as a compliment! Obviously she should have been flattered. Maybe she did something to provoke him. See what feminism leads to?

The fact that we published this on the same night as the "No Means Yes" frat sign bullshit is sort of haunting me right now.

But wait, I thought men said that if we would just be nicer we wouldn't have to deal with verbal abuse from men on the street?

It just made it that tiny bit more depressing and exasperating to me. She rejected him with patriarchy-acceptable ego-saving language and he still killed her for it.

"Why don't women just tell us when they're not interested????" -Reddit

Don't worry, though, there's no such thing as rape culture, and women should feel totally flattered and not at all threatened when men hit on them.

What a tragic thing to have happened. I hope her family can mourn and find peace.

"I have a man, I can't talk to you"... Obviously, this is an awful story of misogyny however you cut it. But on top of all that, I still wish for a world where saying "I belong to another man" wasn't the first thing we were all trained to say to get rid of harassers. It's not like, if she were single and told him to…

Why do some guys - especially artists - think that the idea of abusing women is so edgy and far-out? Are they that deluded that they can't recognise their 'masterpiece' is just playing into ancient power structures that see women as objects? It's pretty much as mainstream and conformist as you can get.

I will never read that book, but I choose to believe that "not as innocent as she seems" means that when she wakes up and realizes what's happening, she takes a baseball bat to his head and runs for safety.

"Some I hate so much, I have to see them naked."

I read the book summary and thought, "this is the creepiest thing I've ever read." Then I read that review. Dear God. I need to find the least creepy thing ever to get that out of my head.

Wait, he finds an unconscious woman on the street and he DOESN'T call a freaking ambulance? Unless the plot involves her turning out to be an undead critter who proceeds to eat his face, I don't want to read any further.

For your collection and also for this book:

I had surgery and the surgeon was Indian. I was like "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA! "I don't mind that you have an extremely posh English accent, your the cadence of your voice is reassuring and has soothed my nerves, you are extremely good-looking and very well qualified— do you have to be Indian while you're doing my surgery?…

why is that kid in the middle black? there's no reason for him to be black.

"Some of these other shows — My Brother and Me, Diego, and Legend of Korra — it's great that they're bringing diversity into it now. ... But you know those shows are not nearly as good as Ren and Stimpy, which was made by all white people!"

This reminds me of the white guy standing up at law school orientation during the cultural sensitivity presentation, and responding to the prompt of "when was the first time you felt different or discriminated against?" he said, "When I applied to law school, because I knew I'd have a harder time getting in as a white…
