She didn't go to the police because she didn't want a police investigation because if the police investigated, they would find no crime. She wasn't afraid of going to the police because she was afraid they wouldn't believe her. She was afraid to go to the police because she worried they WOULD believe her. And if they…

UVA may mishandle rapes, but there is no evidence rape occurred here. How can anyone mishandle a rape that didn't occur? And we now have no reason to believe it did. Rolling Stone is disavowing the piece. The author of the piece has gone from unswerving belief in Jackie to now stating she has no way of knowing what…

She did name them. Their names don't appear in the story, but the story makes it clear their identities are well known in the UVA community.

Uh, wrong. She did accuse specific men of rape. Their identities are well-known in the UVA community. That's in the story, had you bothered to read it.

The point of the Rolling Stone article? What point was that? They don't stand by the article. The whole thing has collapsed. The point is that a woman claimed a particularly gruesome and horrific gang rape occurred and people rushed to believe her — and denounce anyone who had questions — despite there was no evidence…

Part of the problem is the McCarthyite way people asking obvious questions were treated. Jezebel called them "idiots." Amanda Marcotte called them the equivalent of Holocaust deniers, particularly offensive since the Holocaust is supported by incontrovertible evidence. Sorry, but the damage done here isn't so much by…

This is really, really bad.

I can feel the moments of my precious, finite life slipping away every second I'm on the phone with them.

That line, including the term females, is taken directly from the report, which was produced by professionals in sexual assault treatment. Kindly direct your complaint to the authors of the report.

Since this has no bearing on anything I wrote, I can only assume you meant to direct this reply to someone else.

Actually, there is a doubt. Scarcity of rape kits is nothing new and there is no evidence to suggest reportage of rape has declined from previous years. If you have such evidence, please present it.

I feel like it's all escalating. Or maybe there is just more reporting on it. I don't know.

Nothing about this is surprising. I saw African-American women demonstrating — actually publicly picketing — in support of Mike Tyson during his rape trial, claiming he was a victim of the white establishment. He was on trial for raping a black woman.

Selfies are one of those things that are stupid and annoying, but should not be banned.

It's over zero so it is already too damn high.

I get the feeling (also not supported by science) that at least half of men are rape apologists and victim blamer/shamers.

Not "tough shit" for me, since I'm the one on the receiving end of it.

"Serial rapist" is a pretty accurate description of the vast majority of rapists. A 2002 study of college men found that about six percent of the men had attempted to rape or had raped someone, with the vast majority being repeat offenders. In fact, the average rapist in that study committed about six rapes [5.8]. And…

That's all true. Mechanics can be learned and his physical talent is awesome and rare. But I have my doubts that he'll ever master the techniques necessary to prosper. Also I think he's likely to get arrested a lot.
