I completely agree that there is a (probably significant) portion of Sanders voters who are voting for him because of his gender. However, there is just as significant portion of voters voting for Hillary because she’s a woman. Sanders has been arguably more of an advocate for women’s rights than Hillary over the past…

You know what would blow your mind (ie make perfect sense): in the UK Jeremy Corbyn a very Sanders like soft old leftie old man has been elected leader of the Labour Party and he appointed Diane Abbot a black woman who is basically the same as him in every way to his Shadow Cabinet, the amount of vitriol she receives…

The whole Sanders movement began because we couldn’t convince Sen. Warren to run. He draws an overwhelming majority of Millennial women, including some 80 percent in Iowa. You have no idea what you are talking about and are spreading harmful, sexist divisiveness. Hope that feels good.

So because you support Bernie and not Hillary, you think it’s because she’s a woman? Sure that’s true for some men, but it could also be because of her actual beliefs and actions as a leader.

I’m a woman, and, respectfully, I do not support HRC.

omg just stop with the Berniebro crap. People on the internet are assholes about everything. There isn’t something magical about Bernie Sanders supporters. It’s like when every YouTube top comment was “Ron Paul 2012", internet brings out idiots.

Whatevs, am I a Berniebro- despite my vag? Because I support Sanders - Clinton isn’t liberal, much less progressive.

Well, if they hate hot chicks so much they probably should just get hotter themselves. Then they wouldn’t be jealous. If they made themselves the office eye candy, there wouldn’t be a need to hire OUTSIDE eye candy. LEAN IN LADIES. You can’t tell me that “biopharma” stuff (whatever the hell that is I don’t think…

I’m sorry, that’s ridiculous. And SO patronizing. As though someone who likes it rough isn’t allowed to experience that. Not to mention who decides what abuse is? “I said F me hard and he did and how he has to go to jail.” Jeez...by trying to get things right, everyone keeps getting it wrong and making relations…

“These aren’t uncommon reactions for people who have suffered violence at the hands of sexual or romantic partners (and attacking a sexual assault victim’s credibility is a defense tactic as common as it is ugly).”

i want to see justice for those victims, but no judge is going to hand a conviction out with an email literally asking for more.

The laws on consent are pretty vague.

Which isn’t all that clear. From the sexualassault.ca website:

The law has not changed. Slogans do not constitute law.

i know all those things and still i am just like scratching my head in this case. the victims are saying they didn’t consent, i believe them, but DeCoutere emailed him the day after essentially inviting him for another round...that email makes it sound like she was cool with and consenting to future instances of the…

If you mean “She killed the case against him” then yes, yes she did.

Attacking the credibility of anyone who brings allegations against you—-for any reason—-is part and parcel of a vigorous defense. It’s not specific to sexual assault cases.

i honestly don't know what to make of this. i know that victims in date rape situations often go on to continue having relationships with their attackers, but to flat out say that the ass kicking he gave you makes you want to fuck his brains out...what chance do these women have of getting a conviction against him now?
