Most sexual assailants are repeat offenders. That’s why being lenient with convicted rapists, and allowing rape kit backlogs to mount, makes me BOIL with rage.

Due to the fact that his nickname is “David the Rapist”, I’m going to bet these two aren’t his only victims.

Netflix has actually created a pretty pretty large budget around this film for activism and education (someone I know is leading their organizing efforts) so while fatigue is understandable, there are those fighting this fight—beyond the cultural contribution of simply documenting this—and this film will be shown in…

Yeah, no. Nature gives certain people advantages in certain tasks. I could have trained from birth and I’d still never be as fast as Sharp, let alone Semenya. Sometimes life is unfair. I feel for Sharp, and for all athletes who get to that level and realize they still can’t be the best, but that’s how competition…

Good on Amber for choosing to do something positive with money that would always remind her of a dark time. I’d just like to point out that the media and the general public would rake her over the coals if she had chosen to keep the money - which would be well within her rights. I hope people will finally leave her…

Right? As someone who lives in France (though I’m not there at the moment), I think we should be doing everything we can to encourage Muslim women to participate in public life. The burkini is already an encouraging sign of compromise to Western society.

This is so utterly ridiculous. Yet again women are being forced to shoulder the blame for a culture’s fear and ignorance.

Why exactly would swimming fully clothed be any less hygenic than a bathing suit? That sounds like some pretty serious bullshit to me.

Ugh, I have no patience for the the feminists who are pro this ban. It’s as not okay to force a woman out of certain clothes as it is into them. And also, it won’t work. Make it so that I can only go swimming if I’m dressed not to my religious standards and I just won’t go swimming.

I was just reading some comments about the Depp/Heard story on other sites and I’ve concluded that a video could emerge of Johnny Depp repeatedly punching Amber Heard in the face, and the internet would still declare her to be a gold digger who deserved it.

So fucking depressing.

Pretty sure the US Olympics Volleyball muckity mucks decide on the women’s (and men’s) uniforms. Doubt the athletes have much choice - you knwo endorsements etc are on the line.

Couldn’t this fucking kill the baby? Jesus tap dancing Christ catching a baby can’t be that complicated.

Not just malpractice, BATTERY, as well. WTF? I’m surprised this didn’t rise to a criminal level.

No, it is absolutely not normal, hence the $16 million verdict. That shit is definitely malpractice.

Halp! Why would you push the baby back in like that? Holy hell why? Is that normal? Does it fucking work like that?

Right?! I was just going to come here to say that. If you want to apply that logic to someone caught with pot, sure, that makes perfect sense. But to an actual violent crime? No way.

I only bang ex-coworkers, I’m friendly and flirty with them when they work there and then stay in touch with them after they transfer or quit.

is Ted Cruz groping himself?
“...and the hooome of the...HHNNNNGG *tweaks nipple* bb-b-b-brraaaave...uuhhhhhhyeaaah”

From what I read, courtesy of a military lady I follow on twitter, the hand on the heart is just a thing schools teach kids, it’s not a requirement. As long as you stand during the anthem, that’s all that’s necessary.

I’m continually baffled about the full-throated demand for visible patriotism. It’s possible to be very patriotic without plastering the flag over every part of your body, wearing flag pins, or arranging one’s limbs in required formation during moments of high emotion. There’s no requirement to put one’s hand over…
