Is it ok to be against rape but still think this sucks

The point is the softening of the language. It has to stop. Call it what it is and it will have 100% of the force you actually want to use here.

Yes, “Manner” is the better word. But you don’t “die by homicide” which is my main point.

Don’t bother. It’s another softening of language so people who can’t take reality can hide behind it.

It sounds slightly gentler at first, but it’s a bit insidious if you really think about it. No one suffers from depression of their own free will.

Don’t you know you can’t be realistic on Jezebel?

You just have to swallow whatever garbage they try to shove down your throat and smile.

These women are the future of out society... Allah help us.

It remains an inelegant phrase. Died by suicide means “died by killing themselves,” it’s like saying died by fatality.

Yeah instead we just pay to keep those people in prison, in many cases more per year than what a police officer makes. So in that respect, we’re essentially providing funds to both sides.

It is a stunning example of feminism devouring itself.

Read this earlier, and just, wow.

I mean, I was an idiot and a bad person in college too. But I never felt like I had the ability to try to ruin somebody’s life because... well, not because they didn’t agree with me, exactly, but because they agreed with me, but not on every exact thing.

Title IX is one of the greatest…

“symbolically incoherent” is a phrase that a lot of college students need to have in their head when they plan their activism, just saying.

What bums me out most about this is that the question of consent laws, “spheres of victimhood” and the worry about infantilization is SUCH an important and interesting one (and…

Oh FFS....

F’s for everyone!

Once again proving that college students have WAY too much time on their hands.
