Hahaha are you high?

“That really sucks for her” as if she had absolutely no idea what her husband was doing?

As the lives of domesticated food animals go, you could certainly do worse than a bull in the ring. I hope you’re a strict vegan, because if you eat meat you support cruelty to animals that is orders of magnitude more cruel than bullfighting.

I think that Bullfighting is stupid too and should be banned as it is just a cruel event , but it is VERY hypocritic and stupid to say “he deserved it” when he is in a grave condition while denouncing cruelty. By wishing him something like that you are just as horrible as them! I mean what do you think about Death…

Eh, anyone that eats factory farm meat isn’t on really solid footing when it comes to moral ground. I include myself.

Indeed and that is my point. Any academic, let alone one at a prestigious university, should always be looking to elevate rhetoric. This is not elevated. This belongs on Sub-Basement 2.

Yes but those Tweets sound so…academic!

True, but that’s not at all what she said or what you said above, and that’s the issue here. Being kinda sorta right isn’t the same as being actually right. And while that’s not a huge deal as a member of the twitteratti or Jez commentariat, it’s a big deal when you’re supposedly an expert.

These weren’t sage comments at all. Her job is to train students to employ nuance and critical thinking in addressing and analyzing the complexities of social phenomena, and she utterly failed on that count. Being half-right isn’t good enough when you’re a prof. Being hyberbolic and being right in spirit but wrong in…

Slavery predates the transatlantic trade and continued after it (the Arabic Slave trade for instance started around 650 and went until around 1960) . So her statements on slavery were factually incorrect. As far as the whole problem population thing I would be interested in which problems in particular they make up a…

Ah prison rape jokes the most concrete proof we have that most people just don’t give a shit about human rights when someone is a criminal.

To go back to the tweets that you posted yesterday. . . what she is saying is simply incorrect. She is correct that slavery as it emerged in the New World context was different that that which was practiced on the African continent (though there is a bit of debate about that. . . Africa is a large continent after all)…

Given that the job that she just got hired for and hasn’t even started yet is to help guide and shepherd students through difficult and complicated subject matter, she’s absolutely right to acknowledge the lack of nuance she employed on twitter and apologize for that. If she wants to have success in her field, she’s…

See? This is what makes prison rape jokes so funny! The horror, the humiliation and the complete lack of recourse for the victims or responsibility by those in charge. Comedy gold.

Her comments on slavery weren’t based in fact they were patently wrong. Assuming they weren’t taken out of context that is. She made broad statements about slavery as a whole not just the Transatlantic Slave Trade or it’s effects. All I wanted was for her to correct those statements to be factual.

Defamation won’t be a hurdle for rape survivors - it will be a warning for journalists who don’t even try to talk to alleged rapists, or check with fraternities for something as simple as when their parties are. If I understand the law correctly, it’s not even an issue for journalists who make a good faith effort to…

Does anyone blame her? Good for her. I hope she gets every penny she is suing them for. Fuck those people.

has filed a defamation lawsuit against the magazine and Erdely.

She’s repeatedly claimed that she was drugged, which was proven false by toxicology reports, and the testimony of her friends. That alone should be enough.

Oh yeah I’m forever seeing guys go on about how they’d be all over Lena Dunham’s junk. Sure.
