“Hernandez stumbled back to the party and found her friends. When she told them what happened, they immediately took her to the hospital. Hernandez spoke to police, and her mother flew out the very next day.”

If I’m reading this correctly, the victim did go to the police. The rapist is serving 20 years for the conviction. Their completely valid suit against the university is that they refused counseling services to the victim (likely in hopes of shutting her up so their athletic program wouldn't get more bad press).…

Burn it to the ground. It’s surprising enough she got a conviction out of a football player in Texas. Hopefully she gets fuck-you rich off of this and these football factories masquerading as places of learning might think twice before minimizing a victim of the environment they created.

Well, I would, but Coelodonta had two horns, not one. So it wasn’t a unicorn.

While everyone else is arguing over intent, let me propose this:

high priced fundraising dinners in general are bad. that’s the point. the american campaign system is disgusting.

Having suffered years of sexual abuse from my own father and being too afraid to tell anyone, the fact that this young woman had the strength to tell a trusted adult speaks VOLUMES about her. I wish I could hug her and tell her how brave she is.

I never watched the show, but the video makes it look like they both died. Several times?

I’m honestly kind of impressed? As someone with IBS, I would kill for that sphincter strength.

Is anyone else surprised he managed to hold it long enough to be put in the car after being tased? You’d think your body would freak out and you know...release anything it was holding right after getting shocked.

Aw, I miss Behind Closed Ovens!

Absolutely this, really tough to believe some of the justifications otherwise. If my SO cheated on me, I’d want her to tell me immediately so I could leave ASAP and try to find someone who wouldn’t be wasting years of my life on a lie.

Yes.

I’ve been cheated on, and had to break off an engagement because of it. I will never, under any circumstance, put up with cheating. Getting cheated on is such a miserable, soul-crushing thing to have happen. It murdered my self esteem for years. I know that may seem pretty dramatic, but it was terrible.

I’ve been on this earth for a lot longer than you and from what I’ve seen everyone would rather know. Nothing like wasting years of your life on someone who lies to you.

I think the thing is, you never get to decide for another person whether or not they’d “rather know” or “rather not.” I don’t know how I’d react if my partner told me he was cheating — whether I would want to work it out, whether I’d need a break, etc. I might be really unhappy knowing. But he doesn’t get to pick for…

Secret-keeping proponents counter that confessing only serves to lessen your guilt by putting the weight on your partner’s shoulders—it’s selfish in a different kind of way.

It’s articles like this that make it hard for me to go outside.

He’s acceded and acceded to her “rules” so now he should dump her? This is such poor behavior and such bad advice.
