Oh god I hope it gets crashed. I hope he gets punched on the sidewalk, gets bedbugs at the hotel, is selected for an enhanced pat down at the airport, is seated next to a loud talker on the plane, that their welcome home BBQ gets crashed by survivors and their loved ones, and that his steak gives him some sort of rare…

You’re just full of really bad ideas. The 90s weren’t the fucking 60s.

Oh please, it was as known then as now and juries were just as likely then as now to decide that the girl was just a slut and they didn’t want to ruin a ‘promising’ young man’s life. This is not new information or even a cultural shift- if anything it seems to be getting worse.

One example: David Bowie slept with thirteen year old groupies during the height of the sexual revolution at a time when no one bothered to prosecute “consensual” statutory rape cases and the general cultural’s understanding of sex permitted sex between adults and teenagers.

This didn’t happen that long ago and it has been known approximately forever that having sex with an unconscious person (and inviting other people to join in!) is rape. 1999 was not so long ago that it was not widely known that having sex with someone who was even ‘almost’ unconscious was not ok. I’m way older than…

And Oh My God culture has not shifted THAT much on rape since 1996. We are not talking 1896 here.

Nice sleight of hand, bringing up examples that happened 20-30 years earlier than when this occurred. People knew about consent in 1999. Maybe not at Penn State, but 1999 was not 1972.

I vehemently dispute this. I grew up in Nate Parker’s era and young men knew damn well what they were doing, which is why they were secretive about it. They found rape situations like this FUNNY and joked about it behind closed doors. He even denied that there was a second man involved until she tricked him into…

Yuuuup. Exactly it.

I hate all this “new definition” of consent crap. Sex without consent has always been rape, it’s just that people are becoming more willing to acknowledge that now.

The people I know who saw it say that it’s a decent film but it was the (edgy) material that drove the interest and not the actual filmmaking although the acting throughout is above average. If Fox Searchlight had a clue they never would’ve made Nate Parker the face of the movie because they’ve pretty much ruined all…

Being a woman in 2016 if very different, imagine being a woman 20 years ago, and when we talk about consent, maybe 20 years from now we’ll know things about consent and examine it from a different perspective than we are now.

All I know is that I didn’t wear chokers in the 90's and I won’t be wearing them now. It’s a neck touching thing - gives me the creeps. I must have been strangled in a past life or something.

Justin is so thirsty. When was the last time he had an actual hit? Early 2000s?

Loving her new album! I think she sounds really good when she sings in her normal alto register, and that she has a hard time with the babyish falsetto stuff on so many of her songs. She can’t do it live, which is why she spent so much of this segment not singing along. You can tell she’s only comfortable *actually*…

I like her because I loved “Dark Angel” when I was a young teen and was devastated when it was cancelled (....as is every series I've ever liked - never take to recommendations from me; it will end in heartbreak). Somehow, a decade and a half later, I still have quite the soft spot for her in my cold little heart.

THIS. One of the major reasons under-21 rape victims don’t report a rape if they had been drinking at all: In order to honestly report what happened, they have to confess to a crime (drinking underage). If they go get a rape kit immediately, their blood alcohol will be documented and they can be charged with a crime.…

We can send emails to police@stanford.edu telling them what we think of the policy.

well i know that many women who are trafficked are forced to do porn, and that’s obviously rape. how do you know what you’re watching wasn’t produced in that way, and how can we know how much of the porn out there is of that variety? and that’s just the actually trafficked women, not including all the women who are…

I mean I get that for most people it is normal and healthy and fine. I’m talking about abusers where it is clear that the porn is part of their cycle/pattern of abuse. I don’t know if I’m being clear or if I can without laying out and describing some pretty disturbing shit. Like, I guess I just mean that a lot of…
