They’ve been trying to get Polanski for decades. In 2009 they had him under house arrest in Switzerland but the country decided not to extradite him. There are a number of countries in the EU that he can’t travel to because of their extradition treaties with the US. Over the past year 4 additional women have come…

They don’t want sex. They want a woman to own and control, and she needs to be someone other men will desire so that the incels will feel superior.

I read on twitter a thread from a sex worker to please stop telling them to visit hookers. That you put their safety at risk. The issue isn’t sex it’s hatred of women.

I don’t like this logic applied to anything - we have spent decades trying not to give white nationalists attention and look where we’re at.

The reason for this is almost certainly a societal, and not biological. Most things like this come from what we’re told, not how we’re wired.

I think it goes beyond sexual frustration - it’s frustration that they are not in control of a woman or women.

Yes; the difference between “there must be something wrong with me” and “there must be something wrong with them.”

A too-wide generalization but one that may hold some truth here: Women tend to internalize pain; men externalize it. Both are dangerous for the person in pain, but only one of them is dangerous to the rest of the world.

Yes, Nassar was on our payroll. Yes, he used our facilities. Yes, our bureaucracy helped cover up his systematic abuse of girls (meaning not yet women). But they were all in middle school, so they weren’t student athletes.

Especially since their passports were held by team officials, a point Patrick does not bring up. It does not sound like sex happened, but this was walking the fine edge of human labor trafficking.

Don’t forget the part where team reps CONFISCATED THE CHEERLEADERS’ PASSPORTS before bringing them into the suite holders’ peep show. Totally voluntary, ladies! Do or don’t do whatever you feel like doing for the men who make your scant paychecks and/or ability to return home happen!

The parts of the story about the Costa Rica trip are literally describing sex trafficking. I know we like to kid around here in the Deadspin comments section, but for serious the people responsible for this should be charged with a crime.

Female is appropriate as an adjective; “A female doctor,” “a female coworker,” “a female patient.” It can also be used to describe an animal; “The female was observed marking her territory by spraying urine on the door.”

LeVar Burton and Ta Nehisi Coates need to appear in Kanye’s bedroom some night dressed as ghosts and make Ye read some damn books.

I often try to pinpoint the moment when “everyone is entitled to their opinions” somehow erroneously morphed into “everyone’s opinion is entitled to respect.” Because NO.

We need to stop this “I’m entitled to my opinion” non-sense. All opinions are not of value nor should they be respected. I know absolutely nothing about nuclear physics. My opinion on the topic of nuclear physics makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich.

Credit to Van for responding, in the moment and in the face a huge celebrity and icon and not backing down and still delivering some really real shit to Kanye’s face.

Because it will be the best MEETING the world has ever seen. People are already saying that. Maybe, and some people have said this to me, it will be the only MEETING ever in history! It will have words (really good words) and talking. A MEETING the likes of which you could never dream of. Ever. No collusion! MAGA!…

He is one of my three least favorite Doctors. The concept that ppl were watching for him from DW is so silly.

Did a lot of Doctor Who fans watch The Crown?
