If he REALLY cares about lowering teen pregnancy, maybe he should suggest that congresspeople wear shirts saying "we intend to fully fund comprehensive sex education."

Is a member of another oppressed minority (First Nations), I disagree quite strongly with this.
What you're describing is a criminal case to determine whether there is sufficient evidence to prosecute and then to convict beyond a reasonable doubt, within the statute of limitations. What you are not describing is the mechanism by which an individual or a society may decide for herself or itself whether an event…
The use of the term "vetting" is bothersome. So she obviously thinks they are liars and the media is feeding into it without research. But the women coming forward have "vetted" themselves, giving dates, places, times, details upon details. And these women are saying they were violently, disgustingly, assaulted and…
That is a good start but what I would love is for her to shadow me when I'm answering hospital calls for people who are suspected to have been sexually assaulted. Listen as I discuss with them their options. Should they do a kit? Should they report the kit anonymously? What about preventative meds? Plan B? Sit with me…
Oh yeah, totally logical. When I place a to go order and they ask for a name, I'm always like, "Let me show you the facebook page of the person the order is for." Restaurants love that because it's so much more efficient than just saying, "Steve." What a wacky misunderstanding!
Women at Work: A Guide for Men
I guarantee you that Venn diagram is just a circle.
"Rape is a despicable, cowardly crime...."
Yes, it can be very misleading. People tend to think rape when they hear sexual violence, but it is more then just that. It can account for a many things, I don't think it would be hard to make an argument for it if you kill someone right after having sex with them.
I'd assume because women have been subject to violence by partners and men in general for 10-20k years.
You say you consider yourself a journalist, but I've read stories questioning the veracity of that assertion. In the meantime, while we wait for all the facts to come in, I think the responsible thing is to point out that you might be a victim-blaming asshat.
Last week's article filled me with anger and sadness, so I felt like I had to be there. I kept my kids out of school and we drove down to Norman from OKC to show our support. I was honestly surprised at the number of people honking or otherwise showing their support. I hope it gave the girls some strength to know that…
Soil digging is your go to reference? Really? That isn't even that hard. Doesn't he know women have literally been digging soil since the beginning of time? I thought soil digging was the women's work, in fact.

Personally, I think male circumcision is a little more complicated than just that because I think the reason for it matters. For example, there is a big campaign now in Sub-Saharan Africa to circumcise boys because it is shown that it prevents HIV/AIDS and other STIs. This obviously then becomes an important health…
Telling women to say no to seeing their rapist a second ignores a cascade of negative consequences for doing so. Trust me, I tried it and my father chewed me out, calling me all kinds of names and making it clear that if I ever did that again, there would be consequences. Yes, he knew. He chose to minimize and then…
What good does it do though? The glass was already broken, the rape already happened. Going, 'well, that was a mistake!' accomplishes nothing.
I am not very much pro-choice. I am completely pro-choice. I don't think a woman should ever be forced to undergo a procedure that will likely kill her to safeguard a fetus. If it is out in the world, it is a child. If it is in a womb, it is a fetus. In my world view, woman will always trump fetus.
